Wheelie Tips - The Bounce

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Currently off of work due to Hurricane Irma so time to go ride while it's still nice out! Stay safe out there everyone and I hope the best for everyone who will be effected by this Hurricane or other natural disasters.

[@mitchell2276]

SALTxTHExWOUND... thanks for the wheelie vids! If you come to Gulport MS to beat hurricane Irma can we ride?... If im not at work

[@hammy_man_]

SALTxTHExWOUND I do have a question though. How often do you have issues with speed wobble coming out of a wheelie? And how do you recommend correcting it?

[@elreks1]

Do a cross country on the bike to California

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

HammyMoto's I've only gotten it a few times but that was when I was first learning, throttle out of it 👍🏻

[@DSGB2199]

Salt finally getting 3rd gear up! I thought it would never happen! Any advice on steering in wheelie? I know closer to balance point the easier but should i just be shifting weight from one side to other? Thx!!

[@hammy_man_]

Again, thanks for the tip. I will definitely have to try this. Still struggling with it on my 600 but I also have not been practicing that much.

[@lifer1der_realtor]

Hey Mr Salt I just want to say because of your wheelie videos I've watch like a thousand times. I'm now am a 2 millimeter slaying wheelie machine hell yea boiiiiiiiiii. 👊🏻😈 lmao 😂

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

LifeR1der haha my dawggg 👊🏻😈

[@StreetFighter_Brah]

Bro the progression is real! Thanks for all the wheelie tips

[@nicklizardi8526]

Dude that's for the helpful advise. Still haven't worked up the courage to try but your videos decently help.

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Nick Of Time thanks man glad it has helped!

[@dawrathofgod9372]

Power wheelies are so much easier to get the front up obviously but feel sketchy to me...I've been trying the clutch up wheelie for about 2 weeks now and its baby steps but I'm sure I'll get it! Thanks for the vids!

[@MrFroggyMan]

DaWrathOfGod I used to do power wheelies and I've just recently started doing clutch up and I've found clutch ups to be much easier

[@dawrathofgod9372]

DoobieR yeah I'm gonna keep workin at it I'm a pretty persistent person so I won't quit til I get it

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

DaWrathOfGod no problem man! Good luck in learning them 👍🏻

[@BluuSkyz]

Where do you ride? I spent half my life in Ocala florida and your videos remind me of north central florida.

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

BluuSkyz very close, this is brooksville just south of Ocala

[@IctSnipes]

Ocala represent

[@bananaman752]

stay safe down there bro. best wishes..

[@swaggadummy1]

There we go. That’s what I was missing. Thanks bro.

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Brandon Ortiz you got it bro 👊🏻

[@kawayam250]

The bounce does help a lot. My ninja zx9r could do a 2nd gear wheelie with just throttle plus a bounce, but clutch wheelies sound better.

[@mrcherry4687]

I just did a short wheelie tutorial part one cause i was on a short road, i need to work on standups next but cant get mine up in third past a foot good vid bro!!

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

ninjalad 636 thanks man, 3rd is butter once you get it up 👍🏻

[@mrcherry4687]

SALTxTHExWOUND still trying, first n sec no prob but third doesnt seem to matter how much gas a give it or hoe slowly i let out clutch only comes up a foot

[@Overgis4058]

Okay, so i found your channel from AthleanX and i clicked on it because i like your name. i see you have content and i watched some and i was instantly hooked. ^^ Youre pretty cool :) and stay safe, Irma shouldnt linger that much longer.

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

TEcho SoulGrate hey thanks man! We're safe here 👍🏻

[@tofaston2wheels]

Another way to accomplish the bounce is to smash the back brake. It will make the front end dip and it also helps you remember to cover the back brake when you bring it up.

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

tofaston2wheels I've always heard that but never tried it 👍🏻

[@alex-thangnguyen2746]

Exactly. If you want, power slide the back wheel when it is locked; skid and power up! When you have to clutch lift the front, you need as much bounce as you can get; the back brake is the best way to lower your rpm and quickly bounce it up; I used to keep the wheel locked before I cut loose. It all depends on the clutch springs and the power you are working with. Do not touch the back brakes once it is up; you will slam it down again. ANOTHER TRICK IS TO "FLICK" YOUR CLUTCH while it is up so the front end "bounces" up and down. I think those are the prettiest wheelies. I used to be the wheelie king in the 80s in Virginia; too old now. Another detail people look at is stopping your front wheel when it is up and keeping it locked until you drop or land. How you land is also a detail each rider will have. The back brake is an old trick but it came from the old bikes that could not power up.

[@alex-thangnguyen2746]

btw... the reason why you stop the front wheel with the front brake is because you can turn the wheel side to side without disrupting your balance; it is hard but you are very skilled salt. Again, the hollywood stunt guys were the best wheelie guys and the prettiest; but the pro GP guys had some pretty ones also; but that was in the 1980s. You may be able to find some of their stuff on film.

[@jdwmmedia]

I'm struggling to get wheelies on my supermoto, but one day ill get them, Salt... mark my words... One Day!!!!!!!

[@willstief4383]

jdwm Checkmy vids if you want to see some supermoto wheelies

[@jdwmmedia]

ok!!!

[@StreetBikeTakeoverYT]

jdwm Keep practicing, progress at a comfortable pace and be safe!

[@tuekyndal4805]

A sumo...seriously ..how do you even prevent the darn thing from Wheeling...lol

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

jdwm you got it bro, keep at it! 👊🏻

[@bwheat60]

Quick shout to the old man sub from TN that keeps the SALTmaster entertained with the weird nicknames and funny scenarios too! Always says hi and never leaves perv comments about Ms.H. Lmbo! Jus messin around. (as usual ) Prayers for the safety of you both and your families through the cane. (Papa SALT too!) ☮️

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Chuck Mastin haha thanks as always Chuck! 👊🏻😂

[@650hpreventon]

I'm thinking the opposite, you try pull the bar up,a little bit of up force still helps. Like you do it with a bicycle

[@underdogmotomania]

can you do one on holding balance point? I can only get about 7 seconds or so, definitely working the back brake.

[@StreetBikeTakeoverYT]

Underdog FZ 09 If you're only doing them for 7 seconds chances are you're not bringing it up high enough (balance point) and you're chasing rpms. That's what happened when I started. You'll know when you hit balance point because 1, it will scare the shit out of you, 2, your rpms will either stay the same or start to slow down.. and 3 you'll ride them out for a lot longer provided you have a nice steady throttle. I would practice tapping the rear brake and get used to bringing it down but my advice is to only use it when/if you go back too far. Depending on what type of bike you have your bikes engine brake will bring the bike back down by itself anyway when you let off the throttle. Balance point is easy once you get up there, you'll know when you get to balance point it's a very distinct feel. For balance point all you need is confidence, a steadily maintained throttle and lean back a little when you ride them out it will help keep the bike up when your weight is more shifted towards the rear. Keep practicing and stay safe and always wear your gear!

[@underdogmotomania]

YzfR6 ok cool yes I've tipped it back to that point but always bring it back too far under balance point to get it back. My bike is a 2015 fz09 wheelie monster...lol love it

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Underdog FZ 09 I can do that for sure, good topic too 👍🏻

[@Slappy-N-Triggerhappy]

Do you ever get wrist pain my throttle hand hurts to the point I don't even wanna ride but I am trying my hardest to find balance point on a 2nd gear stand up. Have any tips?

[@davmanlop333]

Hey what’s easier stand up or sit down wheelies. I can do sit down wheelies but abit nervous on stand up?

[@bamabackroads1203]

Headed out for a ride in a little bit. I will give "the bounce" a try. Thanks for the tip. Stay high, and dry down there, maybe Irma will head out to sea instead of making landfall.

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Bama Backroads good luck bro!

[@DSGB2199]

Salt what are your methods of steering long stand-ups? Is it just moving weight left or right? Thanks man! 3rd still escapes me lol

[@donaldpeterson477]

so what do you think about getting it in high rpms where the 600 cn really make some power and giving the clutch a half tap?

[@fazeraper5104]

I havent watched the vud yet and tell me if im wrong but im assuming i use thus tactic on my 100 before i put sprockets on it i jump on the rear pegs and the front jumps its little ass right up there.also salt the cr125 is a no go.right now ill get it next year and tommorow im buying a Cam again.so i can motovlog.

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Daul Sport Motovlogs awesome to hear man!

[@BrandonStOnge-of8sk]

Do you use your plate when you go out to wheelie

[@fishtopher8379]

I need some tips on getting to balance point

[@ryleezyafk7653]

kawi Vulcan 500 now stands thanks salt

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Ryleezy AFK you got it man!

[@Mark-zk7mv]

Any suggestions on learning to wheelie on a 1000?. It's my first bike and I'm just barely clutching up soda can wheelies in 2nd from sit down. The bikes a beast... They say 1000s are harder but it's the only bike I got.

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Mark Keen 1000's are super easy to get it, id stick to 2nd or 3rd 👍🏻

[@upshift2690]

I can get it up in first gear doing power wheelies but still can't keep it up. Clutch wheelies ain't working lol but practice practice practice haha. I'll get it specially after this video!!!!!

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

UpShift 26 practice makes perfect bro 👍🏻

[@nicolaemirea4973]

Could this be done on yamaha yzf r125?

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

absolutely!

[@chrisstratton3430]

I don't find it necessary to clutch and bounce - Its one or the other. You can bounce it up quite easily but chopping the throttle just as compress the front and then smack it open right at the peak torque curve for your bike (Hightest torque rise over shortest RPM) - For clutch ups (which I rarely do because I hate beating on the motor and it DOES beat the entire rotating assembly and especially the basket), I just sit back on the seat, slip the clutch about 2000 Revs riight into the same torque curve, also dipping the throttle just a hair before I do to give a full stroke on the forks. Granted I ride an R1 however I've done the same thing with an old ass 99 R6 with stock everything. Its 100% all about the timing. If you are struggling find a small rise/bump in the road to help you along. It will help with the timing and the fork strokes.

[@fishtopher8379]

I went -1/+2 and now I can get my 600 up without bouncing it

[@puffadderglowkit3126]

what about 2nd gear at 7thousand , do u bounce?

[@De2Angel1o]

That’s dope u have ur girl in ur vids. Wish I had a girl that rode a bike along side me

[@BikerBytes]

Great video man.

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

BikerBytes thanks!

[@metakmoto]

Dope video man! Thanks 👊

[@DoritoBass87]

does anyone know that if your bike goes straight up will it shut off

[@jasonoctane4787]

Good advice👍🏻

[@jasonsarver8234]

Love ur vids lol watchs ur vids on a daily brother would be a few to ride with u

[@antaklugom7389]

To what RPM fo we turn the Throttle...?

[@jassimal-siddiqi4809]

Which bike u found better , specially for wheelies . The kawasaki 1000 or the gsxr 1000 ?

[@willstief4383]

Jassim al-siddiqi Honestly a 600 would probably be better. 1000's are too touchy and would make it very difficult to wheelie

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Jassim al-siddiqi 750 by far, the ninja was good for them too but the 750 is balanced much better and and lighter as well 👍🏻

[@alizaraeeneh7591]

where do you live?

[@christianspringer1012]

So I have a 1000 and when I go to clutch up it either wants to burn out or not come up any tips

[@christianspringer1012]

2nd gear

[@QueenSit]

I think I'm going to try to wheelie my Harley ✨

This video was published on my birthday.

[@Jason5267]

Ninja 250, first gear rev it to 9k drop the clutch, bounce it hard af, maybe it'll come up high enough to hit balance point😂

[@ste_f4i39]

Cool vid a diff view nice 🤘🤙👍✊👊

[@sadiqbashao7]

This is gsx r 600?

[@chillhill1980]

I never need help getting it up 😂😂😂😂

[@tuekyndal4805]

You should have ended this video with a "bounce" wheelie ;O) ....I was expecting it!

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

If you can't bring up the front wheel on a ttr 125 you shouldn't be on a sportbike.

[@balancepoint71]

You need help to get it up. #Roman.com
