[QUOTE="jwm, post: 33864, member: 16361"] There are a couple of things I would say to you about riding wheelies. I think there are 2 phases to wheelies: <ul> [*]getting the front end up [*]keeping it up for a (long) time [/list] The first thing you have to be able to do is to get the front end up. To practice this, I suggest finding a long smooth uphill with a few bumps in it. Put the bike in second or third gear and find one of the bumps in the hill that tends to loft the front wheel. Then practice trying to loft the front end every time over that bump. <ul> [*]I tend to crouch with my elbows high. [*]At the moment of contact with the bump, I sit down at the back of the seat and yank on the handlebars. [*]On my XR600, I usually slip the clutch to help get the front end up; but I don't need to on my CR500. [/list] If you practice a little, you should be able to get the front end up high enough to feel the point of balance. For this part of the technique, you won't need any rear brake. Once you can do this, then you can move on to trying to ride the bike at that point of balance. Hope that helps... -- jeff [/QUOTE]
