Seated Wheelies..

So I've been practicing clutching up some sitdown wheelies, but I have a problem with turning the wheel as soon as I bring it up.. and it's because I'm trying to hold on and not fall back. Any tips? Sometimes I also grab the throttle on accident just from trying to hold on when coming up.

This sounds ridiculous I know, but it's aggrivating.. And I can't sit back in the seat anymore than I am or I can't reach the handle bars.

Any experienced tips would be great. I ride an 01' F4i if that helps.

That is a GREAT idea. Bro just try to use your ABS and you lower back muscles to hold yourself up (tighten up your mid-section). Watch the twisting the throttle trying to hold on , HAVE TO HAVE THROTTLE CONTROL. Take it easy, keep the rear covered, and ride that biotch til the wheels fall off.

Re: Seated Wheelies..

sounds like you need to practice on a dirtbike to get comfortable with the twist throttle and having the front end in the air.
