power weelies rock :YEAH i like all the noise and drama that goes with them your already at the top of your gear when you hit b/p and you can rock that **** using eng brake............

Bullshit, I've clutched first thinking I was in second on my 954 at ****in 20mph with almost full throttle and I didn't loop, it's all about throttle control.

I read the first page but not the rest, so excuse me if I'm repeating anybody. I recently was going to buy a gix 750 from someone but I found out that 1st gear would pop in and out, and later found out that it was because he was doing 1st gear power wheelies (couldn't get it up in 2nd) and was trying to shift to 2nd while in the wheelie. Basically he screwed it up one to many times and bent or broke the shifter fork.
Now the reason that he was trying to shift was because he wanted to do faster wheelies but could only get it up in first, meaning to get into a higher gear to go faster he had to shift mid-wheelie.
You can wheelie a bike at much higher speeds clutching it up that powering it up, And as I'm sure everyone has said, you're a lot more likely to flip or go over to the side when you're power sitdowning than standing-clutching. My 2 cents

i was out all day today powering 3rd gear sit downs...i was floating that **** way back there too,BUT i know when to let off the throttle..if you have enough sence to roll off the throttle at a stop light why not in a wheelie?

power wheelies = Garbage

i think... and i may be wrong... but this guy isn't talking about a "normal" power wheelie. in the sense that you peg the gas and wait till she comes up. personally... and i'm not a stunter, but can rock stand ups for miles... i throttle all mine up unless it's under 15-20 mph. with a 1k +4 on the rear, i whack the throttle wide open, and right to bp. haven't ate **** yet. although on 600's without sprockets, aside from first gear, i look like an a$$ clown trying to get it up. to each his own, but if you wanna rock slow **** you're gonna have to learn to clutch it. my

dont hate on the power wheelies

tannar_zane

lol - okaaaaaaaaaay squid.

LOL....That has got to be one of the funniest things i have ever read on here. That comment should turn a few heads on here. Bouncing it up makes you a squid? Clutching it was way easier to control when learning for me, but bouncing it took practice. Hell, when i got the R1 this past year it only took till the 3rd time riding it and i was already pulling and holding some ok wheelies with it, but that was also in 3rd gear because second was coming up to fast compared to the F3. If bouncing it up ounce in a while makes you a squid, then myself and many other very good riders (as in judgement day) are squids also. some of them clutch it yes, but many also just bounce it up.

no hard feelings. notice that i used the word funniest instead of saying dummest or something along that line. just found it hilarious.

f4whore

i think its funny as **** how all stunters and attempted stunters have some missconception that power wheelies are dangerous, plenty of non stunters bust 3rd and 4th geer powerwheelies all day long, go watch some turbo videos

those mother****ers powerwheelie in 5th and 6th and they are fine, its just like anything ele, a matter of not overstepping ones abilities

Spencer75south

6th gear my ***. id have to see that to believe it. ive never seen a bike with enough power to come up in 6th.

snigg

what kinda comment is that? slowing down for a stop light and having one wheel in the air and not being able to see ahead of you is different dude.


as for power wheelies, i still bounce some 2nd gear stand up's up, and can ride em for miles. i do prefer clutchin but ive never had a problem powering it up. i learned to ride stand-ups by bouncing 2nd gear.

tannar_zane

for those of you who don't know, clutching a bike up harnesses the power and you control the power of the bike, as it comes up. by hammering the throttle, you have less control over the POWER of the bike. and yes it's true. i don't care about all these guys who say "i got control and i bounce it up and i power wheelie and i'm good and blah blah blah"

bottom line. make a poll. title it "do you Clutch or Power a wheelie." all the top known stunters will prove this point.

tannar_zane

lol no ****.

DoodleF4i

ghost riders streetfighter busa will do it,but ive heard of other bikes coming up in 6th gear

sprocketz

clutching is easy you can do it at a lower rpm with more control make it look easy with not much noise........so so soooo boring to watch

sprocketz

i cant think of any pro stunters doing power weelies

tannar_zane

THANK YOU. lol
