Cool Need help correcting my wheelie problem!

Need HELP!!
I have no problem keeping the bike straight in line when I do power wheelies. But, when I clutch it, I consistantly pushing and tilting to the left.
As much as I focus on the throttle control when a wheel is up, I now need to keep my attention on fighting it and countering the tilt to keep the bike up straight. Can some one give me a few pointers here?
THanks

I think your tranny belt might be getting worn out, try replacing that. Then check you blinker fluids like he said.

You cant forget the basics man!

Re: Need help correcting my wheelie problem!

the closer to balance point you get the easier it will be to make the bike turn or drift one way. are you sitting down or standing staggered? body position might be whats makeing you drift one side.

true that, also I know that when I first started learning, I would push more on one peg and that would make me drift to one side.

Sitting down. I didn't pay that much attention to my body position.. I've always thought its because I put pressure on my throttle hand more than my left hand.

ride staggered you'll be able to move your body around more to adjust your wheelies direction.

if your putting to much pressure on your throttle hand then you will most likley be drifting to the right. also if your throttle in the wheelie isnt smooth that will help you drift to the side that you are putting more pressure on. every time you let off the throttle and rethrottle you will cause the bike to come back up crooked.

You need to relax. Any body tenseness will make the bike unstable. And make sure you're not tugging on the 'bars, either. Lack of smoothness on the throttle will also make the bike veer.
