I forgot to say in the video, I did go to Wheelie University. It's a course here in San Diego where you learn on a Speed Triple and don't use the clutch at all, just the timing of revving the throttle, chopping it, then timing the rebound back with more throttle. On my Instagram page, I have a picture of me at the course where I'm almost at 1200. Check it out instagram.com/motojitsuclub/

You have to get over the fear of tipping back? I’m very surprised you have notwheelies in the time you read and you’re an excellent rider. I had no more than 1500 miles under my belt on brand new bike and I was wheeling at that point just because the bike came up a few times and I just let it stay up and control the wheelie and took all the fear out. You just have to do it once and have control and you’ll be OK. You’re on a super Moto you can slam the front down as hard as you want so as long as you come to the rear brakes, you’re good.

Yea that little 🤏 tony top sounds like something you had to learn the hard way lol

A few tips: - Have consistent starting speed. Choose a speed like 10, 15, or 20 and always start at that speed for consistency. - Stay on the gas after you clutch it up. Most of the wheelie happens after you let out the clutch. You need to continue to stay on the gas and even increase it after letting out the clutch to bring up the wheel and and maintain it. How much throttle you have during and after the clutch engagement is far more important than how much gas/rpm you have before letting out the clutch. - Less talk, more wheelies!

@superbarnie

@@Safsejv-ih2ss You will probably need more gas than that, but it all depends on the engine. I'd suggest trying it out with about 25% throttle first, then try again with more throttle, etc. Repeat until you find the sweet spot.

You have to get used to the feeling of the front wheel being in the air, then you can really start practicing. Took me about a month of learning to start feeling and riding the balance point, but I can wheelie a bicycle for however long I want, so that makes it easier. The most important thing is the rear brake- learn to use it immediately! Bring the front up and ride the rear brake to bring it back down again. You need to get it in your muscle memory, that's critical. No wheelies without the rear brake.

Greg.....dont waste time with 2 inch lifts....its a timid approach to an aggressive technique...stick with 2nd gear clutch ups...quick clutch release ...then intentionally lift beyond your comfort level and immediately hit the rear break forcing bike down....remember you always have that option as you cover the rear to immediately set her down....practice that control variable

For the first time in the 22 years that I've owned my 67 BSA Lightning, I took it out to do wheelies. It was for a photo shoot, but I did at least a couple dozen wheelies. At the end I was dumping the clutch at 7,000RPM to get it to the balance point, and it would leave about a 2ft long black mark(no traction control). It is a 4 speed & geared up for modern traffic speeds. It is good thing to learn!BTW, I am in my 60's!

Awesome to see there’s new skills you’re still tackling. Just wanna say, the ABS wheelie bar is an amazing accessory to get to learn wheelies. My bike is my commuter and I’d rather not loop it or get hurt. The wheelie bar simply attaches to the swingarm and when the bike comes up far enough, the bar pivots and will eventually pull a cable attached to your rear brake. You can set it low to get comfy. You can set it past balance point so you have a chance to tsp the Greek before the bar does it for you. Or you can set it anywhere in between. It fits really any dirt bike/supermoto. I think of it as crash protection. My friend looped a WR250. Here’s the damage: broken kickstand bolts, damaged kickstand, broken clutch lever, misaligned steering, bent bars, bent brake lever, broken turn signals front and rear, bent subframe, broken and missing taillight, damaged and scraped fender front and rear, scraped headlight housing, scratched and pitted swingarm, missing tool case and tools, scratched side plastics, damaged clutch cable, chewed up grips, and there’s probably more minor things I haven’t noticed. And it was a lower speed crash. The wheelie bar is $300. I spent nearly that if not more in parts alone. Add in injuries and hospital bills, and it gets expensive. So to anyone learning wheelies, cover your rear brake and just start out slow. Stick to 1st or 2nd gear. Bring the front up, tap the brake. Always inspect your pads and lines and lever and endure the brake works BEFORE popping up. Stay safe and tske it easy. It takes lots of dedication and time and if you rush or force it, it’s probably not gonna end well.

I am 66 years old riding all of my life i live up in the cold north of bc Canada so during the winter i watch vids . I am still learning, my philosophy is when you know it all it is time to quit riding. Keep up the good work. I subbed a long time ago . You and dan dan are my main go to .

Once I figured out I wasn't as good as I thought that I was, I've learned a lot about how much there is to learn.1st class passed easy from practice& Fast Eddie videos.

About time you will learn loads.... I've been doing wheelies in the car park whilst doing your moto jitsu drills. If you're in the car park you might as well learn as much as you can. Wheelie, rolling stoppies, emergency stop, tight cornering it’s all great fun. Get used to balancing point on a bicycle and using the rear brake then take it to the motor bike. The bicycle has a much lower balance point, this is 45 degrees but the motor bike will be around 75-80 degrees. Every wheelie you use the rear brake is a win, don't worry about distance. Enjoy the learning. It's great fun.

This is so trippy, I've been riding daily for 12 years and just started learning how to wheelie yesterday

I really appreciate you allowing us to watch the processing to hear your thinking as you’re doing it. It’s not the most exciting video, but it showing us how to learn a new skill and the head knowledge on how to go about it.

This methodical way to approach learning a new thing applies to learning SO MANY new things. Martial arts, musical instruments, power tools, etc. Doing the fundamentals slowly until they become familiar and eventually become second nature. The old saying is really true. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

Never thought I'd see the day. Best piece of advice I could give is practice making using the rear brake habit. Once that is second nature all you have to do is commit to getting the bike high enough and the instinct to use the rear brake will kick in when you get uncomfortable. I'd say go in first gear from a slow roll or even from a dead stop with a leg down and pop the clutch and immediately hit the rear brake. Keep repeating that process until hitting the rear brake becomes second nature. Then focus on getting the bike higher up, rear brake to bring it back down. Eventually you'll find balance point and be able to bring it back down with the brake. Once you hit that point you can focus on distance and longer wheelies. After you clutch up to the right height you keep the throttle cracked open a tiny amount and you modulate height with the rear brake. If you give to much brake and go too low, add a little throttle, when it gets too far back hit the brake and repeat this process. It's kind of like a seesaw between throttle and rear brake application. Stay smooth with all inputs as well.

Plain basic simple.Straight to the point! The beginner side of learning to ride needs more info such as this. Thank you motojitsu!

Respect man. Youre probably one of the best riders out there and takes confidence to put this out there not doing it before. My first wheelie was on a vstrom 650 lol of all bikes. Lame. Next was zx14r but that was a bit unintended 😂

I half expected you to mention the video you posted of me totaling a brand new $10k bike in an intersection on day 1. Was not exercising smart judgment. With this method, you're doing it just right, not pushing yourself too much too quickly. I love that you learn from everyone's mistakes, not just your own. Stunting isn't for me, but I wish you the best of luck brother. Keep leading by example!

Wheelies are definitely fun and challenging to perfect but the truth is your bike really isn't meant to be up in one wheel. Dirt bikes maybe at times but learning wheelies on a street bike has a learning curve that usually involves looping your bike and or getting injured. A lot of riders just aren't willing to wreck their bike or break bones to learn. Not everyone will have this problem but any kind of stunting has a high probability of crashing. I'm not surprised Motojitsu hasn't really done too much of this And I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't stick with it or do it that often. He's all about control and proper technique and being safe. Wheelies are highly unpredictable. Not gonna lie, I love them and probably do it too much, but it's always risky. I don't blame anyone for not doing them. But it is an incredible rush when you get it down and can do it at will. Just another skill to learn. Nothing wrong with that. But I'm never more worried than I am when I'm up on one wheel. I'm never nervous at the track or ripping around on the streets but wheelies can go wrong at any time. I've been lucky so far but I know I'm pushing my luck. Just be prepared to possibly have it go bad.

Great to see you expanding your knowledge! I know you have impeccable control. You’ll get this in no time. One thing I would recommend is that you not only ‘cover the rear brake’ but actually get in the habit of applying the rear brake to bring the front end down. So clutch-in, throttle, clutch-out, hold the throttle open (not full), apply rear brake to bring the front down. Keep up the great work and great advise. Aloha. 🤙🏽

I’m 56 w/Yamaha WR 450f. My only wheelies are when cresting a small hill, it will be another 6 weeks or so (I live high altitude Colorado) before I can practice learning flat road wheelies! Thanks for the great videos!

Don't beat yourself up too bad about it. Balance is balance, and it takes great balance to do a good wheelie not to mention clutch, throttle, and brake control. Doing a wheelie might just be fun, but you are definitely helping build on riding fundamentals by learning them.

Yes exactly, one more possibly valuable tool!

Wheelies take practice, and lots of it. I learned on dirt bikes as a kid, and just translated that to street bikes when I started riding them. 40 summers later, I rip wheelies far more frequently than I like to admit. I own 3 motorcycles with over 100whp, and all it takes is a snap of the wrist to objectify oneself should one choose to be that kind of person. Does not matter how you normally ride, if you power wheelie past some mouth breather that just cut you off in traffic while giving them the finger or the mean mug stare is Spec Ops level flex.

This video really guiding not only for learning wheelie but also showing how we must be patient when we learning something👏👍👍👍

I like this style of video as an occasional option. Nice to see how you apply techniques to learning something. I'd be interested in seeing how to wheelie the z900. Awesome video as always!

Excellent, not that I care about doing a wheelie ever. I like your slow methodical approach to a new skill. Kudos, the best advice for anyone to learn. Jayman...

This is a huge confidence inspiring video to go out and practice myself after watching you slowly progress

I’d add to your training to damp the front suspension before slipping the clutch out to use a little more of that jump. At first trust your rear break and chase your wheelies instead of getting right up to the balance point. That will give you an idea of what it feels to be up there more and you’ll get more comfortable. It’s important to have the bike rpm high enough when you give gas too.

Yep been trying on the BMW GSA for a few years, just want to be able to pop up over obstacles when I’m off road, slowly but surely lol !!! I find body movement to the back of the bike helps a lot, getting better but still not where I want to be.

Nice to share the process - learning new stuff takes time.

I rode to the gym today, watched this while on the treadmill, then after the rest of my routine I did multiple wheelies on the way back to my house. 😅😅 I hardly ever do them (safety/don't want a ticket) but this made me want to play today!

I learned without crashing. I learned to end every wheelie with the rear brake. Not shutting throttle first. Train till you do it subconsciously. Do not try to ride a wheelie without noticing your conscious thought for using the rear brake has become sub conscious. I did an hour at a time on a sub station road up a slight hill. No one used that road. Also I was in my 50s when I learned to balance point on my Grom. Good luck and have fun.

Love watching you learn something new

Very cool! I've accidentally gotten my front tire an inch off the ground. Doing it on purpose is WAY cooler! Great job!

Wheelies are addicting. The second you learn to snap it up, you’ll wanna do it everywhere. I got caught in a torrential downpour and my WR250 was still too easy to snap up and wheelie. IN THE RAIN. Supermotos are absolutely ridiculous and it’s why it will forever be the one bike I always own. Enjoy that 701! Stay safe. Also just a tip, the farther you sit back and lean back, the lower the bike needs to come up to hit balance point. If your fork tubes are parallel with the road, on level ground, get ready to hit that brake cause you’re there. Also, uphill wheelies are chest codes. And downhill wheelies, I generally say stay away from until you’ve mastered clutch up and rear brake and riding longer and dropping back and coming forward.

I really like your patient systematic approach to learning new skills and training. It's something I want to develope one day.

I’ve done lots of involuntary wheelies on my 701 Enduro. The front end is stupid light and if you give it a little gas as you’re cresting a hill that front comes right up even with the TC on but you have to be in mode 2. I would say mode 2, TC on and let the electronics take care of you for the first little bit

You are a fantastic rider and I can tell you've worked on everything except something that is just considered for fun. There is nothing wrong with that. I don't practice wheelies at all I just practice on getting better as a rider.

Thanks for this man. Seeing this video gives me hope that I can learn as I recently started riding and have been itching to wheelie . I have a 800GS, but too scared to learn on it. I'm thinking of getting an MX bike and practicing on that instead.

In any gear find the speed where you have the most power or acceleration. Accelerate up to that speed, chop the throttle for a half second and give it gas. It will power wheelie. Body mechanics help. Most important is to practice bringing the front up only a little and bringing it back down with the rear brake until it becomes muscle memory. Later when you lift the front higher, give it a little gas as the tire is going back down to soften the landing. It’s a nice feeling to wheelie. I only go to 11 o’clock because I don’t want to learn 12 o’clock because I would have to be willing to drop my bike in the learning process. I usually engine brake to bring it down and rear brake if I go too high like 12 o’clock. You are smart to learn slowly in the name of safety.

Thanks for the advices. I agree regarding patience, 100%. Have a great day everyone! Best regards

I used to pot wheelies all the time taking off on my RD250D (back in the early 1980s) ... mostly unavoidable if you want to accelerate ... but not particularly dangerous ... the trick is to keep the wheel down or move body weight forward ... not found a use for the brake doing wheelies but I guess that's something for me to learn.

love ur videos :) I just got ktm 690 smc r last July and been trying to learn and practice wheelies as well.

Hey man, absolutley agree with the paitence needed. but get some more speed up and just flick the clutch with one finger! dont pull it right in at all just get to speed, then quickly twist the throttle to around 60% and as soon as you get there just one finger flick the clutch it will come up nicely then modulate the throttle accorldingly. I'll do a video on it to show others what i mean? here in the UK i did a "wheelie School" about a year ago on a closed airfield which taught me the fundemental process for it, now after loads of practice i've got it spot on.

Great video. Taught me how to learn risky stuff the right way: be patient and enjoy the process 👍👍👍👍👍

Best tip I got to learn to wheelie is don't pull the clutch back so far just far enough to were it stops power to wheel

He's one of us. One of your better videos. I am not a wheelie guy, but possibly start to try to pull up when going slower than slightly increase speed to pull and keep up. Looks like going 10-15. Try 7-10. 15% throttle to chop up roll to 25 to keep. Im talking out of a$% though.

We were talking about this at work today, thanks Greg 🔥

These bikes have insane engine brake as I’m sure your aware, I got the footbrake reflex on my 690 Down way before bp but now I’m getting past bp and realise how little brake I need to bring it back. Just my 2 pence. Hope you succeed in your wheelie progress, it’s so much fun 😁

I like to bump wheelie off, of rolling hills but never carry through with a full on wheelie! I’ve always wanted to learn to wheelie for miles but I also don’t want to trash my $20k bike lol.. I do however want to go to that wheelie school!

A good way of starting as you are rolling along in 1st gear, quickly shut the throttle so that the bike pitches forward and compresses the front suspension, than give the throttle a snap as the forks rebound (sort of like a pogo stick).

This whole thing kind of reminds me of when we had a gungy gunny senior drill instructor with a chest full of ribbons from the Vietnam era, a real Chesty Puller type BUT he could barely qualify as a borderline marksman on the range. Ooooooh RAH! Hang in there Marine, attack those wheelies!!

Tip for the traffic lights. I park my 230 along the inside edge, with the cut out area almost in the center of my bike, but having the bike a little inside the circle. Works every time for those particular sensors.

Most awaited video from you👍

I learned to wheelie while doing a jump landing. All low speed getting the front wheel up. 👍🏻

Nice!! I need to get myself an ABS wheelie bar so I can start practicing!

Wheeling is trying to loop the bike but catching it. You don’t necessarily need the clutch (maybe a slip to cheat your way out of low rev climbing ) nor much throttle, you want the rear wheel to shoot forward under the motorcycle. No crazy practice needed, just an intention to loop the bike.

Glad to see a Supermoto! they are a lot of fun.

I’ve not done any wheelies yet but fairly new rider. Got a lot planned this year to bring up my skill on different advanced courses so wheelies or an after thought but something I still think is worth mastering. Gonna have to buy a cheap bike to practice on as I refuse to do it on my z900 until I have them down.

Most of the best bikes to learn wheelies, mottard or super moto, good job 😉👍 waiting for your first real wheelie 😉 I stopped doing them, getting older and see them doing more risky without any benefit just fun, but too expensive bike, maybe I need to get something cheap to start again 😁

I started to learn wheelies last year, took a break from it for a minute to practice wheelies on a bicycle thinking it would help me, but if anything it made me more nervous on the motorcycle realizing how easy it is to loop out on a bicycle, something that weighs 20lbs vs my 500 lb beast, but when i was practicing i got to where i was at about 9 oclock, and chasing them, or would pop up to 9 oclock and scare me so i would chop the throttle and slam it down, hoping i can get them down this year, got all the cages for my motorcycle, now just need a 12 bar, n gonna get a hand brake after i get foot brake down

i think putting your kick stand down over the light detectors helps

Nice hoping to have time to practice this too 🤟

About the bike and wheelies. A supermoto can take a lot more beating than a sportbike when it comes to this kind of play. I had a KTM 690SMC and i abused that bike with stoppies and wheelies, never had a problem with the fork or dampers. Clutch is another thing, but they are easy to change on these bikes ;)

Well currently Greg and I are at the same wheelie skill level !🎉 Next year I’ll still be doing a 2 inch wheelies Gregg will drive through the state on one wheel . 😢 Love the video what a great lesson on how you approach learning new skills.

Fort 9 made a video about using cheap powerful round flat magnets to hold a freezer bag to keep thing dry in a cheap or emergency way, but you can also put the magnets on the bottom of the bike chassis to help activate traffic signals like how you were stuck at the red light.

So, finally MotoJitsu wheelies hahaha. Yeah, wheelies where like the last thing i wanted to learn on my bike, simply cause of it being something useless and just for the fun of it and the implications of failure are way to high, is a fun thing to learn but once you learn it you will do it and all it takes is just one bad wheelie to destroy your bike, not just that but you can blast your suspension while doing wheelies the wrong way again and again while practicing (letting the front just free fall after the wheelie). I did some wheelie practice once, i got the front up for a second, but i let that there, only "wheelie" i do is at takes off, small short wheelies. I always said, you want me to do wheelies, then give me a bike, not mine, i can't afford crashing my bike just for a wheelie...anyway, Good luck on your wheelies practice ;)

I have tried to do the same thing on a z900 for about 2-3 weeks. Try to follow exactly the same advice. It gets pretty jerky sometimes. I am surprised it doesn't come off the ground more. Maybe 4-8 inches at best. Will get tripod to see better. First gear, 12-15 mph, drop clutch up to 6500 rpm. More concerned about jerkyness than looping it, so far. But to start chasing it, first gear is risky they say.

Just started today too, got it up a meter off the ground one time and scared the shit outa myself lol

Always do clutch ups. Forget any other kind of wheelie for now. Forget everything about wheelies other than: - Where your butt sits (somewhat back but comfortable) keep this the same. - cover AND PRACTICE rear brake. - keep perpendicular to wheelie. Don't pull with arms, lean back with weight so you stay perpendicular. Think of clutch up the same as a take off, but rapid. Don't rev up then clutch out, just same as a take off, as you clutch out you throttle on. Depending on gears and revs... But on my 450, in the sweet spot of revs (low-mid), second gear is like 2x more aggressive than a normal take off, 3rd gear, 3x more aggressive than take off, 4th gear, 4x as aggressive as normal take off. Think, sometimes you might take off like 1.1 or 1.2x too aggressive in first and the front wheel will pop up. It's the same as a take off just aggressive. Once you get the wheel up consistently, once you can wheelie comfortably... THEN all the other bits will come naturally. Dampening forks, pulling back, different rev ranges, different lean angles, everything else comes naturally once you learn the wheelie.

I'll watch every episode of this serie

In PA we also have a dead red law, treat it as a stop sign if there is a malfunction or the signal can’t pick you up.

Just put a simple magnet under your bike to be detectable on these loop detectors. I have one on my VanVan and it works!

You should learn to double blip, IRC has a great video of how to do it on their KZread channel. It's a very practical use for a "wheelie". You only get your tire up 6" to a foot for a second so it's not exactly a wheelie but it is very useful.

Hey if you haven't upgraded your brake pads, I would. I went EBC green, what an improvement over OEM.

hey fast! once you manage your clutch up you'll be fine. thanks for sharing

I would practice in first gear gonna be much easier to get the feeling of how fast the bike comes up. It's also tough on a supermoto because of how long the suspension travel is. You can try giving it a lot of throttle then chopping the gas to compress the suspension it will make it a lot easier to get the front end to come up you use front forks as a spring to help "bounce" the front wheel into the air.

You'll probably become amazing at this. Causes extra wear n tear. But not all that bad.

nice video i am waiting for the next one

Cheers!

At 1:13 there's a squirrel on the road - dude, I thought you were joking all the time LOL

Clutch ups on my 701sm is definitely something I want to learn. Power upside are easy on this bike but want more control

Same here 🙈

Oh boy, Rev that motor up.. alot

I used to wheelie all the time on my wr450 it was easy no clutch just power up in second at a low speed and chop the throttle, haven't got the guts on my GS adventure, it a bit too big for comfort doing stuff like that, though i know its capable

That was really good video

Ive taken a few race courses (Freddie Spencer's was awesome!) and have ridden for years....I'm like you, I can't wheelie!! Stunting is not my thing vs going fast.
