[QUOTE="Ol'89r, post: 33879, member: 17212"] The hardest part of doing a wheelie is finding the balance point. The balance point is much further back than you may think. You may feel like you are going to go over backwards before you reach this point. In fact you might go over backwards a few times finding this balance point. Once you do, you can stay in this position with just a little throttle control. Suggest using a little taller gear than you think you might need to start your wheelie. This way you still have some workable power left when you get the wheel up. Otherwise, when you get up to the balance point you will be comming on the pipe or cam and this makes it difficult to stay in the proper balance range. I find doing wheelies much easier on my XR than I do on my CR due to the broader power band on the XR. Try to stay off the brake, this will bring the front end down faster than you may want. Work on throttle control first. Good luck. Ol'89r P.S. A downhill is just a straightaway at an angle. [/QUOTE]
