Learn to wheelie/get your wheelies higher
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
This video is centered a bit more towards the progression of wheelies, but includes the basics for people who also want to get started with their first wheelie. I have never made a tutorial so sorry if it sucked, I'm not a teacher, I'm just trying to share the steps I took that have lead me to where I'm at today with wheelies

The key part I loved about this video was keeping the throttle the same when you clutch up! After hearing that I started to see progress in my wheelies.

Do you use back brake?
This is my 15th video in the variety of “How to Wheelie” and you actually had better instructions than a good bit of them. Such as the slow motion during the “clutch-up” to show exactly what to do and to keep the throttle in the same position instead of just revving it. Good job. This video honestly deserves at least a 6 digit view count.
Honestly the way I learned how to wheelie better is when I was told if I can see in front of me wheeling a sport bike I’m not going high enough. I got wheelies down pretty fast over time after that😂
I’ve been watching a ton of wheelie tutorials lately, and this one by far has helped me out the most (at least where I’m at in my learning progress). This video shows the best video angles, ones that I’m usually hoping to see in other videos. Thanks for making this, and taking the time to share your knowledge. Its helped me tremendously.

Bro YEESSSSSS
One of the few actually helpful videos on how to wheelie on you tube!
I’ve watched hours of wheelie tutorial. Not one video I saw really helped from my point of view. But your video really is by far the most intuitive and informative. Hands down the first wheelie vid that has helped me. So thank you. Subbed
im a begginer stunt rider i have watched over 30 how to wheelies video during these 2 weeks. this is the best of all , clearly can see both hand and clutch and the throttle actions. thanks
Great tips. Thanks, bro!
Hell yeah man! Subbed to see how your progression takes off from here on out. I guarantee you'll be an absolute killer in no time! Being familiar with BP and foot brake is the foundation of a killer. Definitely got skills man!
Might be the best how to video ive come across. The slow mo sections focusing on foot, hand, and gas were well appreciated.
bro ive been practicing wheelies... and trying to learn more information , and by far you describe all the scenarios better then anyone ive seen. thank you i will be watching this again and again as i practice.
Real nice tutorial man, one of the best I have found. The throttle explanation resonated with me. Thanks man!
Wow out of all the video tutorials this is by far the best wheelie video to date. Great presentation , safe riding 💪🏼
You did a great job explaining. Thanks for that. I will start trying to wheelie my bike
I am just learning how to wheelie and I’ve done a few power wheelies and got the front end off the ground maybe 6-12in and I want to learn clutch up and this video really cover all points and is very informative.
Like most said, one of the best tutorials I've seen. Plan on using your tip to progress more by increasing throttle plus foot brake to get more comfortable reaching balance point.
Love the way you went into more detail then most
This video deserves way more views Jar6d! its helped me out so much and im just starting to learn. The only people on youtube i would take advice from are you and Gixxer brah.
Had to subscribe to you off this video man, keep up the good work!! I’m trying to get to you level one day
Hands down the best video yet I've looked high and low and nobody ever shows both handles at the same time
Really well explained, I needed this
I learned something the other day. If your forks are parallel to the ground your off the gas if their not parallel to the ground your on the gas

This was a pretty good tutorial. And I've seen em all... Lol
Yaa! learned how to do a basic lil baby wheelie in like 20 minutes on my mt03. 2nd gear 9-10k. Trying to get it to stay up.
THE TUTORIAL I’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR
Gixxer brahs video stressed the same thing about tapping rear brake, it takes a lot of repetition to really connect your footbrake to your brain when you're learning. I can float into balance point a little but I'm still working on holding it there. Its taken me a while but going slow with this method has been good, I haven't looped into oblivion.
I wheelie and that was an excellent tutorial !!!!!!!!!!
Dude I love the part where you said you learned not to hit the rear brake hard. That was my issue I would hit it hard and still slam the bike down and everyone would tell me I need to use the rear brake when I actually was 🤣

Turn your handle bars to the left to help the pulling of the right. I notice you naturally turn to the right and maybe that’s why you are getting pulled to the right a bit
Nice video. You have covered all! Just i wanna know how much practice you needed to reach good chasing wheelie? Weeks, months, 10-20 practice days?

I rode several times a week for about 3 months after changing my gearing and saw the fastest progression I’ve ever had in my 2 years of riding. Getting better can be easy or hard depending on the bike and gearing but seat time is the biggest factor. I would say if you practice at least like an hour maybe 4 days a week you could go from no wheelies to balance point in like 6 months or less if your willing to push yourself. If you have an easy bike like a dirtbike, fz07, or a stunt geared bike maybe 3-4 months

If you just tell someone to try to wheelie most people won’t even have a clue how to clutch up. Most people power wheelie until they’ve watched a clutch up tutorial. Also most people know nothing about using the foot brake to control a wheelie till they see that in a video too unless someone has told them to use the footbrake. It’s not like they can just watch a video and immediately do it, but it gives them the information they need to be able to practice the right things for themselves instead of figuring it out entirely on their own. It’s like being taught math and then given a test once you’ve been taught and had time to practice, instead of just giving someone the test and making them figure it out
I meant to say that was a very good explanation on how to wheelie, keep it up' excuse the pun lol".

I have a 2015 ZX6R *fully stock* that im trying to learn on. With it being stock im curious about changing my rear sprocket to something that will make it more comfortable for wheelies but still keeping my top speed around the same around as I like to go fast. Any ideas for a fitting sprocket id enjoy?

1 down 2 up is very nice. I wheelied on a long time ago with that gearing and it felt good. Might just need to learn in 1st gear. 1st on stock gearing is like 3rd gear on my 52 tooth sprocket. I’ve also had a 47 tooth rear with stock front and liked that a lot too. I would actually prefer that over my 52 or 55 and it kept a good top speed
Amazing tutorial man🍻 Where i am stuck at is ho to look ahead while on wheelie. If i try to look right bike goes left and once it starts going left there's no stopping and you put down bike. Trying hard to keep my bike straight while on wheelie.

Best way to practice is to go somewhere that you don’t have to look around. Just an empty space so you can stay perfectly centered while learning instead of having to look for what’s infront of you. If that’s not an option you basically just have to get it high enough to manipulate where the bike goes. The higher it is the more you can direct it

I only have a 200 that I use to get to work so I don't really wanna try to learn on it in case I mess up the clutch or gears. It seems pretty straight forward and I have tried it out a couple times just to see if I could do it with my 200 and it popped, but now it makes some weird noises when I go from 2nd to 3rd so I won't be attempting it on my work bike again. I need to buy a little beater that I can mess around on amd not carw if it gets messed up.

ik im late but figured id still ask. im getting pretty solid at just holding a steady slow wheelie but im having alot of trouble finding my sweet spot. anytime i think i need the rear brake the bike just stabs back to the ground. im running the stock pads and caliber on my fz07 but it just feels like im either about to loop and the moment the brake gets touched it comes way too far down, or its too low and i slowly chase it out. on my grom i can sit down all day and my footbrake is perfect but on the fz its like slamming the footbrake no matter how little i touch it
@jar7d
Жыл бұрын
Part of that is probably the fz07s bouncy suspension. That will partially be fixed with a saggy ass fix from ss moto for like $110. The suspension compresses a lot when you foot brake and it makes it feel like it’s grabbing drastically even if it’s not. The other part could be your foot brake adjustment. Most likely though, it’s just the bouncy suspension combined with stronger engine brake, and a stronger foot brake in general. You can dip pretty far on the fz before you actually even need to foot brake because the engine brake is so strong, so you probably just need to work on being very light with it

The clutch up can do all the work for you but I started giving it a little yank just to try to put less tension on the chain. You can kind of compress the forks a little then yank on the rebound and it makes it smoother than just straight dumping the clutch. I wouldn’t worry about that kind of stuff in the beginning though. I’d limit the variables as little as possible while learning so you know exactly what you need to work on. If you try to many things at once and it’s not working out you won’t know what you need to change to improve. Once you’ve mastered the clutch up then you could try giving it the yank and see if it is less snappy on your chain

Do you stay on the throttle before you pull the clutch in, as the clutch is in still stay on the throttle, when the clutch is dumped fine tune your throttle? Or do you give it throttle, let go of the throttle, pull the clutch in, give it throttle, and then dump the clutch and fine tune your throttle? Im a little confused but I think you explained the general concept pretty well from what I see. I have a new drz400 and want to start with small wheelies. Any suggestion what speed I should be going in 2nd gear on a smaller bike?
@jar7d
Жыл бұрын
Give steady throttle to maintain speed, pull the clutch in, then give it MORE throttle, then after releasing the clutch maintain the amount of throttle you added while the clutch was in and as it starts to rise fine tune the throttle. If it comes up fast you may have to let off the throttle quickly, if it comes up slow you may need to give more throttle either after the clutch dump or while it’s still pulled. And for 2nd gear my best advice is not to base on speed but feel the bike and gear how it sounds. If you can pull the throttle hard and the bike barely moves, you may need to go faster. If you pull hard and it’s jumpy/touchy like you’re in the power band, that’s a good place to be for the clutch up. You want your bike to be very responsive to throttle input once the clutch is dumped. But to just name a speed 15-20 mph in 2nd gear is probably fine

I currently own a drz400 and I find it fairly hard to wheelie. Everybody says its a “wheelie machine” and from my experience it’s nothing like that. A husqvarna 701 enduro for a dirtbike would be more like a “wheelie machine” than a drz400 because it has double the power for about the same weight. I am surprised how underpowered the drz is for my first bike. Im definitely planning on getting a sportbike like a cbr600rr, R6, or zx6r in the near future. For the time being I can do half ass power wheelies in 1st gear on my drz400. Once its almost at balance point I cant maintain that height and the bike just goes right down. I get the general concept of clutch ups but you really have to give it a lot of throttle (at least for a drz) to get the front tire off the ground in 1st gear. It also scares the absolute crap out of me how fast it comes up…
Lowkey my 675 tripple r scares me. I feel like im gonna end up looping but i end up coming down really hard jus with engine brake.
It’s like doing a downshift and blipping the throttle just don’t downshift and give more gas. I couldn’t get them for days then it just clicked for me
my biggest problem is i dont rev it enough in 2nd to pop it up high. every once in a while ill get a good one but im trying to get more consistent. question though, how hard did you have to rev your r6 in 2nd gear? i feel like i have to rev the shit out of it in 2nd. but first hardly at all. i have the same year r6 you had before the 636

If you let off the throttle and the bike comes down you’re not high enough. I don’t stay on the throttle when I foot brake. The point of foot brake is that you use it when the bike is so high that letting off the gas/rolling the throttle forward doesn’t bring the bike back down and the only way to keep it from continuing to fall back is the foot brake

Check if the top of your forks are flush with your top triple tree or if they are sticking out above the triple tree. You might have pushed them up a little if one or both of your triple trees were loose. I would also check your lower triple tree to make sure it’s not cracked if you heard someone loud. Mostly likely though I would think it’s just the forks sliding up from the hard slam

Levers like the clutch lever? Or you mean the clip ons/bars? Either way, you can do it totally stock, you just have to find out the right mix of speed, gear, and rev amount. On a stock 750 I would do 1st gear, slow like 30 mph, and try the clutch up. Of it doesn’t come up you either need to work on the technique of your clutch up or just rev higher. Assuming the bike doesn’t have mechanical issues causing loss of power. Also if you have traction control it has to be turned off for wheelies
