Tark Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Decided to go and practice some wheelies today. This was all 2nd gear with no clutch. Just power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmucat Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I did same thing a while ago. Glad to see you are at least doing it safely out of traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassecou Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I bet you were nervous as hell. Best wheelie video I have seen so far. Very good angle for the camera, and great editing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
migglesworth Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Question from a long time rider and wuss. Can you give some numbers about ideal conditions for the power wheelie on our bike? RPM and MPH for example? I rip on my bike but I've never had the front end consider going up on me. I'd like to give it a shot, and having some expectations would make it easier.

Tark Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 I was very nervous. Some came up too quick so I put em down fast. For these wheelies I was in 2nd gear. 1. I would get up to 6k rpm (about 30 mph) 2. Let off the throttle so the bike engine brakes hard. 3. Within a second of letting off throttle..... punch it. For the longer wheelies in the video, they started at 30 mph and by the time I was done chasing I was doing about 60 mph. You do want a lot of space while trying this.
