well if it comes up and then drops quickly, that probably means your getting nervous and backing off the throttle or your not getting high enough.

You need to keep on the throttle and then get that thing to its balance point.

you rev out cause you aint at the balance point, get it higher and the RPMs wont increase when your riding it

dont forget to cover the rear brake! clutch it up at lower speed and get it high fast. That should give you more distance too!

No doubt. I rode one of those home for a guy once and maybe it was just ragged out but that thing had no kinda power. Felt like tryin to wheelie a 250 pound xr50. If you are getting it up just keep practicing you will be there before you know it.

like ive read once "If it dosent have a side car, it can wheelie"
And no there isnt bad riding a 250, atleast he's not a noob jumping on a 900. get confortable.

Hi I ride an RGV250, wheelies suck on this too. I give mine a heap of revs, lean back n pop the clutch aswell. What gear are you trying to wheelie in? If your in 1st try 2nd with a small bounce, if that doesn't work use the clutch aswell.(I do. comes up higher n faster) If you find it hard to bring up in 2nd use 1st to get it up then shift to 2nd ( no clutch, roll off the throttle shift quick then get on the gas quickly) you will get more distance.
I don't get it up to the b/p (no engine brakes in a stroker & I **** myself) I'm still chasing them. anyway hope this helps you out.

P.S. As you can tell I'm not the best at wheelies myself, this is just how I do them. ALL THE BEST!!

I can ride out short - high wheelies on it but it is scary as **** because you have to dump the clutch at like 10K. It comes up real quick but you dont have much engine breaking cause your only going like 5 mph.. If u can wheelie a 250 you can kill on a 600

It will come up, my buddy had one and I wheel'd the shiz out of it. Either use abounce and the clutch or roll on then off and use the clutch at the same time.

Yeah, I ride a 250ninja (first bike) 7-8000rpm, 5-10mph and let the clutch out (i use one finger to grab it). If that doesnt work as well, drop your left leg back to the pass. peg and try it that way. I had a nice one to the balance point today, but chickened out after a while. Keep practicing, it gets easier.

yeah, i started on an EX250 ninja. I can wheelie those pretty good. Put your left leg on the passenger peg and cover the rear brake with your right. make sure you get used to braking before you flip. I usually roll just enough to keep from tipping over while i have the throttle at like 10krpm. just pop that clutch and lean back....the only way is practice practice...

good luck man
Tony
