[QUOTE="YZ250man, post: 33867, member: 16133"] When I had my 83 XR350 way back in 84, and I used to live at the old deaf school in Baton Rouge (read: empty campus, 100 yard football field), I used to practice getting the wheel up in second and ride the rear wheel through the gears up to 5th. On the old 4 stroker, it was cool... To learn to do that, there is a levee about 300 yards down the road, and I used to sneak my bike down there and ride up the levee on the rear wheel. I would get it into second before ascending and just lift on the bars a tad, with some gas to boot and try to be smooth to the top with the front end about half a foot off the ground. Over and over and over and over....(you get the point) and it will come naturally in no time. Point is, be patient and work with the bike. It had been 14 years since I rode a dirt bike and when I hopped on my 83 IT 250 just after I bought it last year, it all came back (only a little, cuz I'm not able to ride it for a long time yet. For me, second gear is the wheelie gear (sometimes 3rd) but I have a few pounds to shed [img]http://dirtrider-forum.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif[/img] ------------------ Dave 89 YZ250WR [/QUOTE]
