Re: whats the best way to start slow wheelies
I just started going slow and what I did at start was just doing a normal wheelie with your foot in the passenger seat, it's easier to balance cause your back foot is holding your body weight. I started going further than balance point by holding the throttle and the rear brake. Bring the bike higher that you can by trying to be as smooth as possible going up higher.
Once I mastered to slow down to very low speeds almost to a stop then I started clutching it up at a stop and been going slow from then on. Hope this helps.
Also, take some aire off your rear tire, then bring your idle up a bit.
Once you can master that then try to get off the throttle and ride the back break only, you have to be really smooth and high up to do this. At that point you can start learning circles.
