Thanks for the video. Do you think it’s best for a beginner to learn wheelies in 1st or 2nd gear? 1st gear seems too sensitive/glitchy/short to learn in. Thanks for any advice.

Wow i learnt absolutely nothing from watching this, thanks 😁

this helped me thx

I have dreams I can wheelie. With precision; turns and everything. Then I wake up and am sad.

I feel like it's starting to click today after about 8 sessions. Your video described my process and progression so i know im on to something. Good video, ride safe💯!

Whats your rear brake position. Coming from a motocross back ground i run my break really high, and it feels so un natural to get to the rear break when wheelieing

Im where you were 4months ago. Literally so scary

I think turning is a leaning with your knees kinda thing so try bringing your knees out when you wanna straighten out 🤷‍♂️

Im where you were at 4 days ago in the video. I can hold it up for a little wnd tap rear brake to bring it down but i cant save myself from looping yet

It's amazing that you don't clutch-up to wheelie and not run out of gear once you get to BP. I'd clutch-up in 2nd, but would run out of gear by the time the front wheel almost get to BP.

bro try keeping your bars straight i feel like it would help alot with steering

had something similar happen to me, wheelied my 100cc moped over balance point a few times, felt great until i looped. got really bad injuries and wasnt able to ride for a couple of months and haven't practiced wheelies since :/

2:08 i left with roadrash hhaah but i learned hella like 1 time i scrapped it then lost it the other i was idling up there and leaned to far my arms are soo fucked ah worth it

Lean to turn bro

I can't help myself. If I see a kid waiting for the school bus- wheelie, a car looking at me- wheelie, any other dirt bike or motorcycle- wheelie, stray cat- wheelie 😂👍🏻

What bike is that?

Turn is just counter steer your handlebar. Its so easy

Im literally so close, I can feel it. I need to learn how to feather the foot brake, because I keep panic slamming it and chopping throttle instead of keeping the throttle steady but aye I feel you when you mentioned the obsession part. Really wish I had a super moto tho, fz6 is not the most ideal bike to be learning on lmao but I need it for my commute to work.

You can turn , you just need to add pressure to the left or right bar the same you would if both wheels were on the ground and you were hitting a corner at speed , and look in the direction you want the bike to go

To turn you turn your front wheel the direction you want to go and lean. You’ll get there

Im practicing but im disappointed cause i get paranoid when the bike almost at balance point and i feel like im stuck doing the same thing over n over again with no progression i order me a wheelie bar to help me get over that stupid fear

Once you hit the balance point, how much Grace room do you have before you have to start using the back brake?

" i just knew i could do it " fuck ya brother

step by step im getting there . ive been using my rear break all the time just get used to using it . on qwads i only used to used rear . on the bike i usually use front....step by step

That street looks familiar are you in sj?

😂 🫡

My biggest problem wheelie on dirt bikes when I go up my foot get off the break and I try to catch myself on the ground …. I’m demotivated but ima keep going

That motivates me, thanks bro <3

If I’m scared to fall do you think I should practice on grass or send it

my problem is not getting to balance point,i can do that fairly easily with a couple tries,the problem is i dont have enough power to keep it going,ill get it to balance point then it will come down a little i give it gas and it just falls down

god damn is this a vibe man.... Grinning ear to ear watching this. just started trying to learn wheelies after riding hard for a year. Hoping to be able to do this one day. this song choice and night footage is where the fuck it's at. Postyyyyy 💥💥💥

Bro give videos

Bro if you'll lower you rear tire pressure your bike will stay straight during the wheelie :))

i ride an 85 2 stroke and it’s my first bike and with small bikes with powerful motors it’s touchy when you up there what i did to get them is LOW RPM’S HIGH GEAR 3rd gear going 10mph and get it up to balance point with the clutch and practice 🤝

Hip & turning handle bars help u 2 keep strait

I can wheelie to balance point but because i never grasped rear brake i keep it just low enough to where i can let go of throttle and bring it down and i think thats my problem. I’ve been stuck there ever since, i even learned how to turn and swerve before all that 😂

If u wanna steer use ur hips btw, not ur legs

I'm about 0.73° away from balance point and I always instinctively jab the rear brake when I feel the bike is a bit too high. This is all the motivation I needed to fully commit 💪🏾 An update will follow shortly (hopefully not from hospital 😂)

Crazy how I can’t explain BP to others, it’s like leaning back on school chair. What’s crazier is that moment when everything clicks and all makes sense 🤯 You’ll never be the same rider! My rides are now 90% on 1 wheel 🤣 much addictive

Yeah you just hyped me up to go try some mf wheelies😂😂

What type of bike is that

You can turn with your handlebar and your weight transfer and also balancing with your legs (knees out).

Back in the days.. i kept 2-3weeks full pause from riding. Hopped back. Instant perfecr B-point. Giving it a pause mentally and physically helped. Also.. are you me? Lol

do you let off the throttle, rear brake, back on throttle? or just tap rear brake and keep steady throttle?

Great Job ! Must be a fantastic feeling to unlocking this thing. Do you keep the throttle steady and adjust with the brake or do you sort of do both gas and brake alternatively ?

watched this before i got the brake down, now i seem to be riding slow ass wheelies and i fall to the side a lot. did you figure out how to turn yet?

It's so much easier when you have the power to bring it back up, z125's have hardly anything to bring it back up if too low

I'm able to get the bike to the balance point, however, I'm still struggling to keep the wheelie at a constant speed. When I feel I'm at the balance point, I'm literally sliding of the seat and usually sitting at the very tail of the seat. The main difference I see in this video (compared to my wheelies), is that when you start dropping the front wheel a bit, only a little bit of throttle gets it back high enough, while in my experience I feel like I have to add way more throttle and then I'm picking up speed. I'm doing it on an exc 450. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

clicked for me yesterday I could get to 12 but kept hitting the brake too hard but legit just started to slow down and drop it back more.

Bro I feel like I’m gonna whiskey throttle! That’s My biggest fear! “I’m a beginner” if you couldn’t guess lol but yes whenever I pop front wheel up idk why rear brake totally flys out of the picture! I hate it! Gonna have to do what you did lol watch a ton of supermoto videos lol like I am now😂 Hope to to upload one day a successful wheelie or fail 😆
