Re: Wheelie Time
theres more to it then "clutchin it up and covering the brake". my advice is to find someone local who KNOWS WHAT THEYRE DOIN and askin for advice. its easier to understand the concept when someone shows physically shows you rather than tryin to interupt it from readin it online.
thats like goin out and buyin an airplane and sayin "im gonna learn how to fly". ........ FLIPPIN IDIOTS!!!!

Re: Wheelie Time
Ya know, I learned to wheelie on a 2004 R1. It was my first sportbike. I had always ridden cruisers for the previous 6 years. I bought my R1 and didn't even like my Warrior 1700 anymore so I sold it. On the R1 I learned BP wheelies as slow as 15mph without a crash. It took several months. I started by just accelerating and then giving it a tug so it came a few inches off the ground. I did that till I was comfortable with the front end off the ground. Then I started to slip the clutch. Each time I would go somewhere I would slip it. It started at about a foot off the ground and I progressively increased the throttle and the speed I let the clutch out. I kept doing this for about 3 months several times a day till it finally reached the balance point. If you don't want to mess your bike up, do it this way, little by little. My friend that I tear the canyons up with looped it at 60mph, messed up his ankle and is done motorcycling forever. He did too much too fast. I learned without wrecking my bike. I just bought a CBRF4 that I put a cage on and everything. With this one I'm going to learn the slow speed stuff so I'll wreck it but at slow speeds. The street isn't the place to surpass your ability. It gives us all a bad name and it puts others in danger. Imagine a bike flipping down the rode when people are crossing the street or on the sidewalks. But if your confident and in control, who cares. You won't wreck. Good luck!
