How to slow wheelie

This is my take on the slow wheelie. I talk about how important I think the initiation of the wheelie is. I believe that clutch control is huge but also the combination of the rear brake and keep the throttle hand light. it can be a long process but if you stick with it and are disciplined you'll be able to feel some improvement faster than you think. The slow wheelie is something I always work on and am still never satisfied because there is always more control to be gained. I hope this can help you and thanks for checking it out!

I try for a long time till I seen your video definitely awesome

[@splatmoto]

Thank you for watching it!!!

[@skyryder2994]

You just have to commit and send it, It's better for me to just go for it then to take baby steps. Then I know while im looking at the sky on my back that maybe I won't send it so hard next time. Helps me to gauge it better.

Great commentary in video!

[@splatmoto]

I appreciate that! I will have more coming soon!

[@TwoWheelsAndAPonytail]

Pretty awesome! I am learning, but not with clutch and front brake.... Just first gear and rear brake. I think the clutch and front brake also , it's too much haha

[@splatmoto]

Must work the clutch in !😁

[@GreaseAndGravel]

Great video and channel. Can't believe I've only stumbled on it now. Almost at 1000 subs!!

We’re getting there! More content coming soon

what to do if my boot is draging the break when i want to cover it ? i tried lowering the break but it is not helping

[@Trellsmith16]

It’s hard to pop my bike up from a dead stop it’s dies out every time

[@matthewsouza1115]

Instead of popping the clutch instantly try letting it out fast but slipping it a little with some throttle

[@tigererickson8375]

What kind of bike? Maybe need to tune your carb a little, dial your idle up just a hair so it doesn't wanna hiccup before it goes.

[@XoFlingo]

You gotta ride it for a lil bit get the engine really hot so it can’t die down warm it up

[@enduro-parts-aus]

Smooth 👌🏻

thank you for tutorial ✌️

[@thailandmopedadventures611]

Great Advice - Thanks Bro!

[@tonygSDWR]

The only thing I never understood, especially with slow wheelies, is the clutch. In order to keep your speed slow are you fully releasing the clutch once the front wheel is up, or are you feathering the clutch (but never fully released)? As someone who can't wheelie, it seems that fully releasing the clutch would create too much speed for such a slow wheelie? Thanks!

[@splatmoto]

These wide ratio transmissions will go pretty slow in first gear. But yes, you have to work the clutch when braking.

[@tonygSDWR]

@@splatmoto Thanks. I wished there was a way to video the left hand while in the wheelie. It'd be helpful to see the finesse being used.

[@splatmoto]

Finesse is the word for sure. Understanding the engagement point is key. And building finger strength is helpful because the finger will get pretty tired after a few passes. I’ll do another video with my GoPro on the clutch hand

[@johansmitphotography]

I always use the clutch in a wheelie... even in faster wheelies like 4th gear wheelies... I don't like how the play in the chain and the transmission throws me around on balance point. So I use my clutch always to disengage the system to avoid the engine breaking and that chain and stuff playing with me in unpredictable ways... but definitely in a slow wheelie where the engine is at low RPM you must feather the clutch the whole time. The engine is very rough and unpredictable at low RPM and you don't want it to stall and throw you to the ground. So in that case also you'll pull the clutch. But that quick reaction comes with many hours behind the bars..

@@splatmoto i Think something is going on wit my clutch when I pull it in and pop it out, give it gas but the bike only spin out hard. 250 2stroke

[@generalsixty2133]

It's a lot more rear brake feel in soft shoes. Just don't hit the trails wearing them.

[@DeryMukti]

nice tutorial,thanks. how tall are you bro?

[@splatmoto]

Thanks for watching it! Bout 5”11”

[@Mac-bn]

nice content, 4:49 as the wheel pops up, when you ride slow, are you using the clutch to control the speed or just the gas and rear brake only.?

[@splatmoto]

Have to be feathering the clutch

[@_gears]

Is it necessary to pull your body close to the handlebars

[@piotrwydmuch9413]

what bike would you recommend for a 6foot, 85kg guy? i've been riding road bikes for years, but never really wheelied much. I would like to learn it from ground up properly. Is the 2 stroke better than 4 stroke? what engine size also? please advise

[@Mac-bn]

to compress, do you apply the rear and front brake, or just the front brake?

[@sammymaestro7642]

Just the front

[@splatmoto]

Jarvis teaches to do it both ways

[@herodirtx327.]

Do you have to cover the rear brake the whole time because I ride a husky to and it comes out fast,

[@splatmoto]

Yes cover the rear brake for sure! Be ready to apply when necessary

[@herodirtx327.]

Ok thanks

[@Kayden2valid]

Do you have to hit that front brake? I have seen people not do it.

[@splatmoto]

You don’t have to. However, if you can it will pop up a little quicker. Plus it’s another level of coordination and control which helps other aspects of riding

[@Kayden2valid]

@@splatmoto Sweet! So I will try it with and without using the front brake and just see what's easier for me.

[@theriderdtm8650]

✌🏻😊

[@joeloalexis9030]

You do one finger on the front brake?

[@splatmoto]

Sometimes, not all the time though

[@rtbt8185]

What kind of bike is that bud?

[@splatmoto]

Husky 300

[@GMPLDR]

Which gear u using

[@splatmoto]

1st gear!

[@Turtlefarm]

Looped out the other day… now I’m scared of my bike…

Be ready to wreck your bike!!!
