How to wheelie a 250 dual sport?
 

[left]So I own a klx250s completely stock. I start practicing wheeling my dad’s XR650L and can get the front wheel off the ground consistently but have to pull on the handle bars and lean back as far as I can on the back of the bike to get it up while popping he clutch. Considering the XR is a little under double the hp and torque will I even be able to get the 250 up in second gear or will I have to use a different technique? I don’t want to change the gearing as I need the top end for the street.[/left]

practice. practice on things that you find easy to wheelie so you dont hurt yourself of the bike. learn to use the rear brake. You might have a hard time to wheelie the KLX but I assure you it will wheelie, it just might be a bike for someone that has more seat time. I just sold a CRF230 and find that it was kinda shitty to wheelie, short gears and I didnt have much confidence in the back brake so I didnt wheelie it much. I bought it to resell so I also didnt want to risk fucking it up.

i had a xl250 honda and i wheelied it in second gear . i was going about 25-30 in second gear and gave it as much throttle as possible that it hit the rev limiter sometimes i could hear it and the pull clutch out becarefull it can flip over its good to know brake control and to catch it practice it . also practice staggered standing up now i have a xr650l (which i looped and broke my arm with)
it comes up with no effort compared to the 250.
