i heard second gear is better for doing wheelies because its alot safer the n 1st gear, somebody said to go about 15 mph and hit the clutch with a little bit of gas and it should come up smoothly is that true or is there a better way because he said if i tried to do it with 1st gear imma fly back because its too much tork...keep in mind ive never done one b4 but i want to learn!

 

its torque not tork. and seeing this post and the way you spell you shouldnt even be riding

 

alright here we go: 1st gear wheelies should be left to the pro's and should only be used for slow, idle rolling wheelies, otherwise yes first gear wheelies r very easy to loop over, ecspecially clutching in first. go into second gear, for a sit down wheelie scoot ur non spelling ass all the way back against the backseat accelerate around 1/4 - 1/2 throttle and when u get to about 5-6,000 RPM pop the clutch while remaining on the gas, this should bring ur front wheel off, if the wheel spins eithe rgive it less clutch of try a lower RPM, if it doesn't come up and doesn't spin use more rpm or more clutch. ALWAYS COVER YOUR REAR BRAKE B/C ITS UR OH SHIT BUTTON! no for stand-ups, personally i do not use a clutch, i do a bounce and throttle snap. go in second gear and accelerated the same as a sit down, except standing up w/ the balls of ur feet on the pegs, when u hit 5-6,000 rpm at the same time snap the throttle off and push down on the handle bars and quickly snap the throttle back to 1/2 throttle and pull back w/ ur arms and push out w/ ur feet, that should bring the wheel up, if u don't get it up try a higher RPM, if u don't get it up than work on ur technique. now if u have an older bike u may have to clutch it, it just happens b/c of wear and tear on the motor and how heavy the bike is. do the same thing except stand up, accelerate and pop the clutch at 5-6,000 RPM it may come up quick depending on how good ur clutch is and how u pop ur clutch. just remember cover ur rear brake, if it doesn't feel right just give it a tap and it will come straight back down. ALWAYS WEAR UR GEAR and do it on EMPTY ROADS! for the safety of u and everyone else. -local stunt guru

 

ok i have a 05 suzuki gixxer 600 and ive tried to do wheelies but when the tire goes up just a little bit i let go of the throttle, plus i will not try doing it sitting down because i feel less confortable i want to do it standing up is it easier to pull up standing up and keeping your balance?

 

 

I swear to god there was a VERY detailed post by Cecil on this. That poor search button must feel so lonely at times.

 

pee on the back wheel... works everytime

 

2 Viagra in the tank and some helium in the front tire. That bitch will stand right up.

 

bwhahahahahahahahahahaha
ok here ya go.... get into second, about 45-55, grab ahold of the clutch, the lever on your left side, hold it in, rotate your right wrist until lets say it revs 14k, then letgo of your left lever, should go up nice and smooth

 

Matt how is the 900rr for stunting? Is it an overall good bike to ride?
