Easily the best explanation about how to wheelie the thing about learning how much power your bike outputs at what revs was very helpful

I'm working on learning on my 250 and this is definitely one of the better explanations I've seen

I haven't smiled so much watching a KZread vid in ages! Woooohooooo!

First tutorial video i didnt remember till i started watching...thanks for the wizdom that refreshed subconciously when i was practicing my wheelies.

Glad you liked it! Appreciate you watching

just started clutch ups the last week on my zx6r. My sunday plan was to go mess around with them. Just starting in first and getting the hang of flicking the clutch out and getting the front wheel about 2 feet off the ground. I think Im going to air out the back tire a little bit while learning because when i started riding it out, it got a little squirley. Seemed a lot smoother to clutch up in second but just not comfortable doing them at the speed needed in 2nd yet because you have to rev it so much higher. Thanks for the tips bro bro. Also, the fork seal I was hoping i fixed with a cheap seal-mate started leaking a little as soon as i started getting the front end up. At least its the end of the season and leaves a winter project to replace them

Im a car mechanic but check for alignment if you didnt find it yet or check for weight mods on the bike like exhaust etc it can affect weight balance.

comfortability is key. nothing to it but to do it. if youve never wheelied before try a small cc dirtbike (110-150) and pop the clutch 1 gear standing still and just let the front end pop up and get comfortable with the motion. i started on a ninja 400 doing street wheelies now have begun practicing on my latest bike a 1000.

Dont forget to implicate that rear break to bring that front tire down my guy, big tip there. One clutch popper to another. Rear break rear break rear break. Throttle control and rear break is tricks to a perfect wheels up. Just everyone ride safe and within your limits.

Nice and clear video. What settings do you use on the gopro?

Just got an XSR9 last night and when I took off I didn’t realize it was in B-mode(I’m one of those ppl that’s hands on). So the whole time I’m thinking “this ain’t as bad as everybody says of this bike being all torque”. I finally got over the excitement and noticed a (B)…hmm..so yea A-mode. Everything I heard was true those machines are made to wheelie

Good video!!! Which mode you use for wheelies? TC and ABS off?

I think the best way to describe how to clutch up is to basically rev the engine up with the clutch in like your going to shift down a gear but don’t shift down.

I got no rear break, KC. I keep my wheelies at power Chase level. But stoppies I can do easy.

I'm ready to start working on wheelies but I'm a little nervous. My too bikes are both insane machines, Ducati Streetfighter V4SP2 with full exhaust and tuning and a 2023 Honda Fireblade SP again with full system and tuning... I've been keeping the wheelie control set low enough that it'll skim the front tire off the ground under harder pulls but I've never turned wheelie control off complete and tried to power wheelie or clutch up either of these bikes. You've got some great tips and examples in your video here. I think I might start with just wheelie control off, foot over rear brake, and chasing a harder pulls until I'm comfortable with how the bike feels on one wheel, then work on mastering the clutch up from pretty much any gear.

Thank you!

I would say clutch ups are the best way to learn and get comfortable with bringing it up. I have that issue of going right as well, I have a 2013 S1000rr

The roads are crowned in the middle, especially in the south for water drainage. My bike will tend to go right on one tire because it’s trying to go downhill from the crown in the road. (The Brits’ bikes probably tend to go left because of driving on the opposite lane)

Great video man! The bike going to the right when u bring tire down might be body position issue

Best advice" learn on a dirt bike off road 😮

Im in kc too. Thinking about getting a bike and like ur vids

Thanx mate ❤

I tell everybody they should clutch up every wheelie every time no matter what bike they are on. It may seem scary at first but by clutching them you can control how quick they come up to balance point. In my opinion it's way safer than chasing a power wheelie. I also tell everybody that if they feel like they are gonna loop out, in most cases they aren't even close.

Hey bro i recently bought,myself a 2018 s1000rr and was wondering where you got your headlights from ?

Good job bro

Thx u good info

Stay safe 👍👏

Yoo I had exactly the same issue with my ’07 R1. I wheelied it A LOT and always i had to fight the bike turning to the right. I let other people ride it and they didnt have the same problem so i started thinking that there maybe is something wrong with my position on the bike, but when i tried wheelie’ing other bikes like ’13 R1 or S1000RR the problem didn’t occur and the bikes went perfectly straight. If you discover the source of the problem I’d really appreciate some info because i have no clue what could’ve been the reason.And by the way, i just discovered your channel and i love your energy and positive vibe, keep up the good work my man 💪

What mode are you running when clutching up verses power up? I’m going from Busa to S1K with user modes. Have coding plug installed and not sure 0 to -7 on the DTC helps wheeling.

Great video. You make it look very easy. I'm a bit nervous with my bike. I'm struggling with my 2016 NC750X. I rev it up between 5000 and 6000rpm. It red lines on 7000rpm. It pops up a little. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.

I landed my first wheelie last friday, it lasted for about 3 seconds with smooth landing, but i kinda guess it's just hard to lift that one up. I've been googling a bit, and people do say "yeah, it's lots easier to wheelie any sport bike, than 80hp tour bike". Guess just gunna try harder :)

Heyyy thats my favorite road and where I use to do wheelies lol

I've done accidental power ups in 2nd a few times. Just taking off fast from the lights. Want to learn clutch ups and stand ups so bad

When you're standing up during the wheelie, how do you have your foot over the rear brake? Seems like the ankle angle would be very harsh when trying to not press it.

You have a vid installing those headlights?

Nice wheelie! John P.

Hi. Its standard on s1000r and s1000rr. Its the clutch cable....

With this year are you able to downshift without clutch with its stock quick shifter?

How is the maintenance on that model? Have you had any problems with it?

​@FastFlowKC maybe your back tire needs alignment... In reference to the drifting

i have s1k 2017, so basicly same but year older. if i accelerate hard the bike wants me to be on the left side more. i've been thinkin' same thing.

Catless 750 gets a nooner pretty easily. I need to rebuild my rear brake.

I read the title to this video and LAUGHED MY ASS OFF!!!! :D

hey can you teach on how to maintain the wheelie?

What speed should we be going to learn the baby clutch ups?

I got the same 2018 s1000rr. How about I switch the traction to -5 and try ? I tried back in 2019 it worked but it’s been so long since I tried wheelie

Okay but what sort of affect should I use?!? Is it similar to a flat affect or no?

I want to try these but i don’t want to mess up my bike. I should buy like a cheap used Grom to practice on.

Do you let go of the clutch smoothly and fast while reved up high or instant? Thats what many wheelie instructors fail to mention.

Ay bro quick question: I have the new RR and I could turn traction control off but also all the way down to the lowest amount of traction control Would that be fine if I keep it on for wheelies? Or is it just better for to have it off for powerwheelies AND clutchups?

@FastFlowKC

7 ай бұрын

Its always better to have it fully off but if you are leaving it at the lowest settings you should be okay.

Just started doing "power ups" in first gear on my 650 after 20k miles of riding. The feeling when the wheel comes up is amazing and I have been wanting to learn clutch ups but it feels like a mental block im scared to do it for some reason. Everyone says clutch up is easier and safer

@FastFlowKC

It is 100% a mental thing. Keep practicing! That 650 isn't the greatest for wheelies (that was my first bike) but you will be ready for long wheelies when you upgrade if you do get it down before then.

Definitely should not start on a big bike. Good way to get hurt. I started on a liter bike and was terrified. Got a small 110 pit bike and my progression has improved tenfold. Better to build that confidence on a small bike and work your way up.

Sir honestly, when you were just beginning to do wheelies, did you ever crash? Thanks in advance for responding 👍

I learned on a dirtbike with a abs wheelie bar on it

I got the same bike but the wheelie mode won’t let me pop it up for a power wheelie how do I turn that off

Do you back off the throttle just before letting the clutch back out? Clutch in Throttle up (hold revs) Clutch out Or is it .. Clutch in Throttle up (back off a little) Clutch out

Pulls to the right because all roads are peaked in the middle for rain runoff and it's just not as easy to steer wheels up in a sitting position.

When I do it I don’t see my tire come up off the ground or feel it, and I feel like once I drop the clutch It feels like I get jerked

Do you recommend shorty levers for clutch ups? Or is it a preference thing?

preference for sure, I don't like super short levers like the eBay ones, but I do prefer shorter than factory. Sorry for the late response.

ik how to power wheelie i can power wheelie all day with ease but i still don’t understand the back brake aspect i can get to balance point in my power wheelie for like 1-2 seconds that it i wanna clutch up so i can stay in the air longer but again are you even touching the back brake when u wheelie i cant tell at all

My fear isn’t lapping the bike, but getting the death wobbles after u come down. My Ninja 400 was super easy to power up in 1st but I never got past that

My problem is with liter bikes is the weight. I have done wheelies on husqvarna 701 and even a heavier drz but they comes up at a decent rate vs liter bike doesnt seem to want to unless you give it a ridiculous amount of rpms that feels super sketchy and violent versus other bikes.

I probably rode more than i drove at this point im 37 it took me years to get over letting the clutch out 😅😅😅 fuck wheelies used to be terrifying

I blew my fork seals from doing so many wheelies but who cares. money does buy happiness. Also I know groms will blow up if you do long enough wheelies, can this happen on big bikes too?

What's clutch lever is that it looks angled

Once the wheel is up, how do you lower the wheel down safely? Are you using the rear brake or the front break to lower the bike? And what about the throttle as you lower the bike?

Back of the throttle slightly. If you ask this question, I think you should get a bit more experience before attempting wheelies. Front brake will not help since the front wheel is not on the ground, so please stay away from the front brake. Cover the rear brake in case of emergency.
