Re: Clutching wheelies
amen, brutha. i remember when i first started researching proper clutching (i didn't even have the technique down yet), some throttle goosing friends of mine said that they couldnt clutch up their 1000 gixxers because it was too much power, so power wheelies were the way to go. and they'd been riding way longer than me. i, however, had done my research and told them how a good stunter can clutch up anything. shut them the hell up. ****** know-it-all squids.
i have a 220 hp (with nos) at the wheel r1 that i use for my race bike. i clutch it up in "1rst" gear all the time. i dont even **** with second gear.

Re: Clutching wheelies
Bought new with 0 miles, 02 F4i with 30,200 miles it's been regeared the whole time ..only clutched wheelies since day one, thanks to research on S.L.
Had to replace countless clutch levers, but never had replace anything else..still works like a champ with no slippage

Re: Clutching wheelies
but thats a 4stroke i agree you can learn some general things i mean look at that hawaiian who posted that video of his 2nd day and he was almost rockin BP, caz he usta ride a 4stroke supermoto, but i dont understand how a 2stroke dirtbike will teach you THROTTLE CONTROL, i mean isnt it right that most people chop it when doin wheelies ona 2stroke????

Re: Clutching wheelies
true, its way different. And there is alot of choppin the throttle, but anyone that can hold a wheelie on a 2-stroke can learn how to wheelie a streetbike no prob.
