Best entry bike IMO, you can get it just manifest it. R3 is boring already nvm my first bike, I’d never buy a R3 unless it’s for my gurl. Bored on my R7 but, I have learned multiple lessons on it. I’m learning and the power is decent.

I can’t hit 140 mph on this bitch, need my ecu flashed by 2WDW.

Bike does jump wen needed (spikey)

Does dropping the clutch hurt the bike ? I think so that’s why I power wheelie!

[@creative_kristin]

This is my favorite YT vid of yours so far! And I think this is the first time I’ve seen you wheelie that wasn’t a POV angle. Really good tutorial and even managed to sneak in a promo at the end 😁. Definitely down to see a part 2!

Best Tip- KEEP YOUR EYES UP. Look at the tree tops. Bike goes where your eyes go, Cornering, Jumping and Wheelies too.

[@one-of-us9939]

I liked hearing you tell beginners to cover rear brake more than once. It will save you

This is the best video I've seen on the topic. Most people just go: "Just dump the clutch, bro." I never knew what it actually means.

[@R009-i3e]

The guy isn’t telling anyone to do wheelies and be irresponsible on the road. He’s just showing people how to do them. If you weren’t curious either you wouldn’t have watched. Great video.

[@xzavierholmes7169]

@user-mz3fc5wj7v you must know him because this video is a death trap. Does anyone know how to wheelie would say that

[@BlackArroToons]

You are right, that a small bike can wheelie. Back in 2003, I learned to clutch wheelie in first gear at 8000 RPMs on my small Ninja 250R to pop the front tire up at a 45 degree angle for about 10 feet. Heart racing as the jolt up was shocking each time. The landings were tough on the front tire/fork too. Not as much fun like I was expecting even with practice. I think it was stretching the heck out of my chain too, needing replacement. My interest in wheelies faded soon after, with discipline early to no longer feel the need to wheelie, even if requested by others which is often when on a sport bike. "Do a wheelie." Best to ignore them is how I feel. They won't pay for it if something goes wrong. My current Ninja 650 will sometimes slightly power wheelie from a quick take off a few inches, but that's enough for me these days. Interesting video and cool bike R7, thanks.

[@anthonyjaswinski5732]

He's right. The three step process becomes natural instinct after awhile. Just always respect the bike's power and modulate.

[@jamesaquino9341]

Great video! You forgot to mention throttle control. You dont want to bring it up and bimp the throttle like a dirtbike. Thats gonna help on looping the bike. You want to bring it up and then maintain the throttle smoothly. It in that you will find that sweet spot, The balance point. I use 2nd gear and then grab third. I can wheelie my Busa for a mile or more. I end up with speeds over 120mph. Feels fantastic ! Enjoy

[@dontdrown5336]

“Anybody can pop the front wheel up heehee” me terrified to even practice dumping the clutch 😭

[@EverythingHenry]

Once you can chase em, instead of being tempted to chase as long as possible, now youre in the phase where u want to intentionally bring them down using rear brake (this phase is longer and harder than the wheelie chase phase). I know, no cool points but its what you need to level up to ACTUAL wheelies. This Builds the muscle memory in your right foot to be able to actually use the rear brake and stay relaxed when your bring it up past BP and to understand how much pressure does what. Then combine muscle memory of the throttle with your new foot brake abilities to bring it up past BP so you can slow them down. BTW "covering the brake" is BS if you havent put in the work to use it because when you have that "oh shit" moment, and you will, Your fight or flight will kick in and your first instict will be to jump off the bike or hang on and pray the engine brake brings it down. EDIT: it's possible to bypass the rear brake learning phase if you have good throttle control and ride them out pretty decent at BP but you will be hard capped and gain false confidence and the second you give it a squirt too much gas at BP its loop city so remember to practice putting them down early on for much successs 👍

[@azniner]

Muscle memory in my right ? Foot to use rear brake, am I riding backwards ? I’m confused

[@MrCinematic_R7]

You helped me the most when you said "hold the throttle and see where your rpm is at" i always kept bouncing but didnt know how to keep the wheel up.

[@ZraMoto]

Thanks so much! I finally did a wheelie on my mountain bike after watching this

[@Zenith.Garage]

Ayeee!!

[@KhalidEllouzi]

Thanks for teaching me how to wheelie, all i need now is a bike 👌

[@LordOrangeBike]

Great video ! Better than any other I’ve watched. Only thing your forgot to mention (I think) is to keep the handlebar straight when landing the front wheel. It’s as important as covering the rear brake.

[@Zenith.Garage]

True! Thank you:)

[@ToopIoop]

Tried doing a wheelie on my GSXR 1000, almost flew back but that brake really saved me. thanka for the heads up 👍

[@bongs990]

I just died after watching this video and tried to do this easy wheelie, it was so easy i lost my legs 9n the light pole then slid under the 18 wheeler where i finally got my head rolled over, but dont worry only the first 4 wheels of the truck rolled over my head before i was officially dead. GREAT video

[@NeuralCult]

One important thing to note, is if you over grip that throttle with your wrist, meaning, if you place your wrist over the throttle with your grip angling down, and then when you try to "pop" or "pull" the bike up, your weight shifts back...guess what else will happen? Your wrist will then pull back in normal position with your grip increasing the throttle more.... You see this in nearly every amateur video where the rider gives it throttle and isn't ready for the sudden jerk while giving it more throttle because they've got flung back while still holding onto the grip on the throttle.

[@ChesterMcCoyJr]

I'm glad I saw this comment. All wheelie videos I've seen over the years, not one has mentioned over-gripping throttle and why it's a no no

[@thedeadnotsleeping]

i tought myself by chopping the throttle at a red light and looping my brand new bike in an intersection

[@TylerG7777]

Ugh. That must have absolutely sucked. I feel for you, and your new bike. Must have been a very “uncomfortable “ experience as you had to pick up your bike, collect the pieces, while drivers were slowly passing you at the intersection. But hey, that’s a memory you’ll have for the rest of your life. Ha ha. Anyway, no risk…no reward, right?

[@boomba-rh4ss]

most wheelie videos have super short instructions, then the rest of the video is them just doing endless wheelies. so THANK YOU for being super in depth and taking the time to explain the wheelie process, it helps a lot man!

[@TreTreez]

Best explanation to do a wheelie! Very informative

[@stonemove4207]

Guys I just wanna point this out quickly, Im a new rider I have been riding for 3 months only and Im practicing wheelies every single day. Long story short ; THE WAY YOU SIT on your bike is a game changer !!! If you are having issues or if you are "stagging" with your progress, try different seating position, it will increase your skills I promise !! Anyway, great video !!! Loved it !! Keep it up homie !!

[@davefarmery8180]

When it pops up Don't hit the rear brake to hard , your nuts hitting the tank won't thank you😅

[@Zenith.Garage]

Unfortunately I can attest to this

[@SeekingSeventh]

Actually good points. Riding an R7 and most people teaching wheelies on 1k's, It's nice to get applicable advice.

[@anonimous2451]

Get a dirt cheap bike to learn how to wheelie cause you WILL drop it and be sure you're good to fukkin up a bike cause the likelihood is 80% or better that you can cause damage that would be expensive to fix. Try a Grom or a Dirt Bike and wheelie practice on SOFT surfaces so when you drop it you won't damage it too bad hopefully. When You wanna step up to clutch up's be good at doing power up's first.

[@KThong7]

Watching now meanwhile still planning to buy after 3 yrs thought ur explanation is so clear n understandable ❤❤❤

[@therealtomfoolery]

I did a wheelie in to a group of trash cans today. Thought it was fitting since I ride like garbage and can't even wheelie

[@RichardPeterson-de2fh]

So true. And I personally think idiots do wheelies n the street. If you crash doing a wheelie in the rd and you crash and I see it, I’m pulling my gixxer over to laugh. Stupidity is to be laughed at.

[@Dave-sw2dm]

Wheelies are easy. Sustained wheelies difficult. Lowering the bike back down on the front wheel gently difficult. Not crashing while you learn difficult.

crashing while you learn is a no go for me. Thats why I can count all my wheelies on one hand

Thanks for this video!! Best video I could find! You explained it perfectly! Ride safe bro!

[@Skippythemoonrock7558]

I understand this is meant to teach new riders some fun wheelie basics. But you completely missed a few major steps in learning to actually wheelie and people will get hurt if they just follow this. 1. Don't chase the wheelie when your learning. Clutch up and hit that rear brake to come back down. Slowly get higher using that until you can hit balance point. Then go for distance. Otherwise you're going to get confident chasing. Hit bp showing off your lack of skills to friends that dont know better and take a trip to loop city. 2 chopping that throttle when you pull up your wheelie. Don't. You want to be smooth and consistent. Chopping throttle can easily lead to a whisky throttle situation and thats not ideal.

[@kylemaynard3758]

[@ablastmac1]

Learned to do wheelies on my push bike, then a dirt bike and then a road bike. If you can't can't do low speed turns and figure 8s then lern to do that first. When the front wheel comes down and your learning, you need to know how to control the bike once it comes down.

[@colinnicols5387]

Back in high school early ‘70’s a guy had a new Honda CL 350. During lunch break he’d often wheelie the whole length if the parking lot. A good 100ft or more. How no one got hurt is beyond me.

[@BravoMotoOfficial]

OK, prety on point. Nomenclature off a little. Learn the repeatable technique of clutching up and you will have wheelies on demand for all the shorty bang bangs you see on the street. 1 Wheel 1 Life. Over n' Out

It was a challenge to fine every stunt part but I’ve finally built out my r7 and it is amazing as a stunt bike.

[@cabbage681]

I've ridden sports bikes for 4 decades, own a CBR FireBlade RRW and take it to track days. My advice to any rider is: It has two wheels for a good reason and keep them both glued to the road. Pulling wheelies will reck head stock bearings, fork internals and seals,

[@RideWithTheWolf]

i damaged my main bearings pop'in the clutch all the time on my fz750

[@Zenith.Garage]

Brb imma throw out my fork seals in your honor💪🏼

[@sleepingwarrior4618]

I found that lowering the rear tyre pressure really helped with stability and control....drop it to 20psi roughly and until you work it out, that soft rear tyre really helped me.

[@nicholasmartin297]

My tip is DON’T do wheelies on road bikes. You can damage your fork seals. You can crash your bike. You can injure yourself or others. You can make yourself look stupid as you pick up the bits of bike scattered over the road. Here in the U.K. you can also lose your license for dangerous driving. Just ride safely and if you can’t, just don’t ride.

[@Zenith.Garage]

lol

for every master there's one fallen hero! wheelies are for offroad.. Yamaha 250 dual sport can fall over 20 times without braking. I tried with my T7 but I'm too old to get the hang of it l guess 😉

This definately something that helps start doin wheelies. What you could involve is what you should do with your knees. I'd be curious if you use the legs to keep you on the bike, or you only rely on the butt. I'd guess like in most situations the hands should be relaxed. For a beginner I think this additional info would be helpful as well. Thanks for the video!
