Stand Ups VS Sit Downs (Which Wheelie Is Better?)

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

I’m going to try to get out more tips based on questions you guys have so shoot me some on this video and I’ll work on a video here soon. 👍🏻

[@Slappy-N-Triggerhappy]

SALTxTHExWOUND what's the best way to learn brake control so you don't loop lol

[@DarukoJP]

Has any of your bikes shut off on you for doing stand ups a lot? (Oil being sucked up thru ur manifold) not sure if gsxr’s have the issue but a lot of stunt riders do clean air mods so that issue doesn’t happen.

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Bubba Guy I’ll try to do a video on this soon, but basically I intentionally stop or slow down the wheelie from time to time to stay familiar with rear brake control

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Zuki750R I’ve never even seen the oil light on my bike come on from a wheelie but I’ve heard certain bikes do that like the R1 and R6. Maybe if you were stunting doing wheelies for minutes on end but for a 1-2 mile wheelie I don’t feel it’s necessary

[@LEDXSR900]

I'm just here for the wheelies... Stand up, sit down, upside down, backwards, blindfolded.. more wheelies!

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

LEDXSR900 ok how about a transgender backwards no gravity blind folded wheelie?! 😂😂😂

[@pokekingdaprince1423]

@papa salt 😂😂😂😂😂

[@hunteraceves5576]

Literally same

[@StreetBikeTakeoverYT]

Stand ups feel more natural for me, and they look cooler in my opinion. Sit downs are harder I think too balance point is scary asf.

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

YzfR6 agreed!

[@shawnjones7512]

100%. It always took me a couple of seconds longer to get to the balance point doing sit downs.

[@toniod.mitchell1396]

Sit down look better because it's the natural way to ride the bike, you don't ride standing up.

[@KrisFlix]

I find it extremely difficult to use the rear brake while in a wheelie. I never use the rear brake, but I need to start doing it, if I want to ride longer wheelies. Soon as the bike comes up, I go for the rear brake, and I find myself playing footsies with the brake pedal. I can't seem to get my foot positioned at the right angle to hit the pedal.

[@TRU_Lunchy]

Ever get cramps in your foot as well?

[@TRU_Lunchy]

*foot/leg

[@shawnjones7512]

I very rarely used my rear brake. Engine breaking was enough for me

[@lucidconcepts5511]

Adjust your foot brake position further down. Like the actual lever

[@SpikeyOfficial]

Im slowly getting there with sit down wheelies 👌

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

TheSpikeyBiker awesome man! Keep it up

[@bamabackroads1203]

TheSpikeyBiker got any video. I've started doing Wheelie Wednesday on my channel where I'm documenting my progress learning. Have a look if you're interested. I would love to see any videos you've got too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eojJo3tult-LbZY

[@EddyRoblesOficial]

What bike did u learn wheelies on ?

[@dumbleduke4225]

I like that this guy replies to comment too. I can wheelie mountain bikes and trials bikes but I’m absolute s**** on a sportsbike. I’m just too worried I’ll loop it and get nowhere near balance point. I’ve got a zx10 but feel like the power is a bit too brutal. Any suggestions for good bikes to learn wheelies on?

[@wyattgreeson5706]

I ride an f4i here. Been practicing them a month or two and am getting pretty good at chasing them out.

[@606curvekillas7]

He’ll yeah on 🔥🔥🔥 like always brother I’m finally getting cumffy bringing the front wheel up on my Z1000 setting down I’ve been doing power whillies in 3rd gear

[@alashish]

Hey salt, i have been doing sitdown wheelies and it tends to go left this happens when i try to look ahead on road. How to look ahead while on sitdown wheelies.

[@VState60]

I need a hooligan to ride with in Orlando! Come from club racing and now ride an MT 10 I just picked up.

[@ecozelite]

I'm in orlando brotha 😎😁 what lot we hitting up lol

[@manofallmasterofnone1020]

Does the bike have modifications or stock? I have a Honda cbr 954 all stock and it's hard for my to do a sit down wheely in 2nd @ 60mph. Any ratio recommendations?

[@justinmeskan4410]

I have gsxr 750 2017.. and I feel comfortable doing then in first. But cant get it up in second. What advice do you have?? BTW videos are great

[@k2_brye173]

Justin Meskan bounce

[@shawnjones7512]

Why do you put one foot on the rear peg? I tried it a few times. I preferred both front pegs. Although I did notice my arms didn't get as tired after a mile or so with one foot on the rear pegs.

[@Toolie716]

For anyone with zx6r or zx10r look to see if ur bike has slipper clutch bc if thats the case it was will be easier to rev it up with two twists vs one rip and pop of clutch

[@seb42]

When learning standups, should I start with both feet on same pegs or staggered? Thanks!

[@JacekDuda]

I am trying to learn sit down clutch up wheelies. I have the same exact bike with standard gearing. What speed do you recommend doing the wheelies at? What gear? Thanks,

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

On my 750 I do 2nd gear sit downs at around 7krpm 50mph and 3rd gear stand ups I do at about 5.5krpm about 55mph

[@mikebari3225]

what kinda shorty levers you got there ? pazzo ? Do they feel loose and wiggly....I bought a cheap pair of some ebay ones and returned em they felt loose as far as up and down movement.

[@markbuddy83]

Random question. What pressure do you run in your rear tire? What is too low? I think I'm somewhere between 10-15 and seems to help smooth it out. Want to maybe drop even further for a little more stability but don't want to loose a tire either.

[@timdesmond1327]

So finally started stand-ups before seeing this video and can fully agree with everything said here. Sitdowns first stand-ups second. Still go a long way to go for stand-ups to be like you Salt but getting there now. Its all practice.

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Nice bro! keep it up!

[@paulcostello5225]

I’m only after learning to sit down wheelie on my 919. Iv been doing good sit downs for 4 days solid in second gear but can’t get it to pop up in 3rd. Should I try stand up yet?

[@tylerebbott5066]

Hey I got a question, I ride a 2006 Honda cbr600rr, and I do everything to do a clutch up wheelie but I just can't seem to get the wheel up, is there maybe like wheelie control or TCS on that's preventing the bike from doing better wheelies?

[@99pkon]

I have an 08 Cbr600rr should work in second gear at around 6k-7k rpms push your ass to the back of the seat and then start accelerating and pop the clutch

[@johnanderson2109]

What gear are you trying it in, what speed , and what rpms are you dumping it at when you clutch up? I have a 600 and can do a sit down and stand it way up there if I want. Just takes some practice man

[@morthskarampouzouklis8561]

got same bike there are no electronics like that on this bike not even abs just raw power,try first gear after 8k rpm whatever gearing you have your front will shoot upwards.just slam on throttle and it will power wheelie be carefull though and wear gear.

[@mohammedfahadaltwairgi63]

Great video 👍. I have one question what is you jacket and gloves? Any link bro? Thnx 🌹

[@travswurz137]

Wish you did a video on REAR BRAKE CONTROL!! Can’t find ANY good ones on KZbin!!!

[@huknowes6093]

Look up brian636 he has a video of that.

[@nikolayshklovsky32]

what gear is beater to learn a stand up ?

[@NK-yv5oi]

Hey, 1st of all great video's bro! I'm currently thinking about buying my 2nd bike and it's either going to be a 600 or 750 but recently I've noticed that a-lot of manufacturers especially Honda have ABS on their brakes since 2009. As you are a proud owner of a 750 gsxr which doesn't come with abs as Suzuki only offer ABS in 1000cc would you personally recommend another person who is currently looking for a 600-750cc bike to go for the ABS as a street rider just for the added security or it's something you don't have much opinion on? Would love to hear from your personal experience and thoughts on this. Thanks & keep up the great video's!

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

R P honestly I don’t see much use for ABS and all the fancy tech just for street riding. I chose the 750 bc it’s basic and powerful, that’s all you need in my opinion. 👍🏻

[@chrzanik666]

Is there any corners in florida hehe.... err 🙅🏻nope

[@brandonong2045]

Haven’t tried to many stand up yet but want to ask if you can make videos on how to maybe shift when doing sit downs? I can ride out 2nd gear and sometimes hit balance point but struggling on shifting it to 3rd. Maybe I should just learn stand up first and later work on shifting? What’s your advice?

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

brandon ong the few times I’ve had “oh shit” moments while wheeling was shifting because you have to get up past balance point to shift, and then you’ll be going faster and have less engine braking the higher the gear you go. I’d personally suggest learning 3rd gear stand ups first 👍🏻

[@brandonong2045]

SALTxTHExWOUND thanks bro. Sounds like a plan. Have to have goals and I think stand up is next. Someday bro be doing stand up next to any stunter!! 💪👍

[@sweetminiturtle]

What type of bike did you learn to wheelie on ?

[@epicon6]

1:42 sit downs are easier because the center of gravity is lower. When i was learning wheelies on a bicycle i first had the seat way too high but once someone told me to lower the seat it was suddenly way easier to wheelie. Bicycle wheelies have different physics though because of the difference in the speed, power input and wind resistance 😂

[@davidh6663]

salt ! what is your sprocket conversion ?

[@TRU_Lunchy]

4th? On my '18 GSXR1K can be done in 5th. Just cruise in 5th around 5krpm, pull in the clutch wind it up to 12k and release the clutch. Just takes some practice to wind it up that high.

[@badass1g]

TRU Lunchy great way to blow a clutch disc out in a quick time. Can be done yes but lower the fear the less clutch wear.

[@boostleakboys4387]

How long did it take you to learn to wheelie?

[@TylerDurden-jt4vt]

Stand up feels weird, I’m not used to it yet... First gear i can get it up “sit down” fine, I’m scared to try “stand up’s” because the awkward feeling I get, Should I alway put it in second gear for stand ups for learning at first? I ride CBR F4i

[@coden2676]

Hi this was 4 years ago but your body positioning and weight while standing up will make it easier. Ride safe

[@gsxrtwinn2856]

Good stuff bro bro

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Appreciate it

[@pedroteixeira2319]

When I wheelie I feel like doing stand ups is way easier

[@toniod.mitchell1396]

Sit down looks better

[@Dirtyironman]

Real quick question, why don’t you get a quickshifter for your bike? They’re generally very inexpensive?

[@erwinpasieczny3159]

I think that is no expensive. Some peoples don't like this gadget. Currently I have a QS in my gsx-r 600 k7 and it is very helpful for example if you need to change gear in the bend ;)

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Honestly I’ve just never really felt the need for it

[@johnmulisha]

[@Youtuberngajelas]

How to do stand ups whitout having the bike launching off forward beaneth you?

[@phillipsims2116]

I have a 2006 Gsxr 750, simple mods stock sprockets, 1st gear super easy to sit down wheelie. The bike will also come up easy in 2nd gear staggered stand ups but still to afraid to bring it up too high still. Anyways ha 2nd gear sit downs are a joke. The bike will come up like a foot and nothing higher, im sitting all the way back and easily dropping clutch at 10k and 40mph. Whenever i do i just cant sit down 2nd gear. Any tips?

[@michaelruegg209]

It's all in the technique, how much clutch/throttle etc. On my gsxr600, 2nd fear sit downs I dump the clutch at 12k+ rpm's. Another thing is, when dumping the clutch, I've found that you have to continue giving it throttle after dumping the clutch to continue bringing the front end up higher.

[@michaelruegg209]

It just takes practice and time, and progressively giving more throttle until you find that sweet spot. Also, depends on your speed. I prefer 2nd gear 30-40 mph.

[@twowheeledturtle6649]

Totally agree.

[@juicehathaway]

Where u at in florida Salt!!!! Come wheelie with me in orlando lol I need practice

[@Chryslerscat392]

[@ecozelite]

Yo yo I'm in orlando too lol I have a lot a play at often. When we meeting up 😁😁😜

[@garageliving3658]

I can only do standups. Crf250l I'm only 140 5'6". I think I lack the weight up top to get it vertical when I'm sitting. I can pop it up a little in first sitting down but first gear is pretty damn jerky and scary.

[@marcosmontiel8331]

I'm the same weight it's all about technique

[@jesuschrististhetruth2762]

Sit down because I like to look on each side of the bike and I can control going around traffic. Sitting down is easier to shift through the next gear.

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Good point!

[@jc6596]

I like stand ups better I can see a little better and more control. I actually just started doing stand ups my body would just stand up as the bike came up iam really comfortable with stand up

[@motojits6300]

I personally find stand ups scary on my Ninja 250, maybe it’s the position of the pegs but I’m not sure. I’ll stick to sit downs, I can hold them until my arms burn😂👌🏼

[@2wheels4lifepowers38]

Spot on bro

[@RobinBalentina]

I will get my motorcycle license in a few months, but I'm only allowed to drive 125cc bikes, 6 months after owning a 125cc bike, I can get a cbr500 or a ninja 300, duo the fact I'm becoming 20 years old. If I learn wheelie-ing a 125cc supermoto, and than try out on a cbr500rr, how much will the difference be? You think I can wheelie that cbr500rr within a day?

[@nicholstop8161]

I don’t think a 125 has enouph power to really wheelie just ride it around and learn

[@See_Sharp]

Best wheelies are at low speeds. Proves your control skills.

[@michaelbmw1931]

What is easier?

[@kylepulte1900]

What is a better brand Suzuki or Kawasaki?

[@kylepulte1900]

I have a gsx250r as my first bike and am slightly disappointed.

[@screennamenottaken2]

I think that depends on who you ask. I’ve only been riding for a little over a year and got a 2008 GSX650F for my first bike and love it. That bike compared to its Kawi counterpart (Ninja 650) I would take my bike any day with its inline 4 engine, its sound, and it’s a little beefier. However if comparing other bikes in their line ups like a gixxer 750 or 1000 to a zx10r or especially an H2 I may lean toward Kawasaki. That’s just speculation though and I think to really know it comes down to individual preferences and riding each one.

[@jryer1]

@SALT - Great video. 750 is looking sweet. You gotta figure out how to get you and GMW together for some serious footage, that would be too cool.

"a brisk 78 in FL". Stares intensely in Wisconsin.

[@drewcecato221]

stand ups lower the blance point required to wheelie forever and thats why its easy to do long wheelies like that. sit down wheelies are 10x harder anyone who disagrees go to a 2 mile long sit down instead of a stand up

[@quychau4443]

Stand vs sit là sao ấy nhỉ

[@DarukoJP]

That sensational breathing in the beginning lol

[@d.fresh.750]

Still haven't gotten very good at sit-downs. My best one was probably on my first 750, in FL, coincidentally...like 2 years ago! 😲 I was pretty comfortable with stand-ups on my old SFV-650, but wrong kinda motor for long wheelies. 😏 I've gotten in the stance for a stand-up on my 750 a few times, but it does feel awkward to me, so I have yet to try one. Maybe I need a naked I-4, and I could get good at ripping some stand-ups! GSX-S1000?! 🤔😆😅

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

D. FRESH. 750 yeah it’s awkward at first but once you get used to it it’s so much better bro trust me 👍🏻

[@favian3380]

Could you make a video of your clutch work like i have trouble bc i put in clutch all the way and by the time it releases my rpms are lower. also how much do i pull the clutch in i see you just beryl pull it in?

[@coreybrookins8751]

Favian cosmo .. if you pull it in all the way then you use 4 fingers to pull the clutch? Most ppl only use there index finger.. or the index and middle finger... but You only have to pull it in enough to feel the bike isn’t pulling anymore... then release... depending on what size bike your on.. you have to play with the throttle

[@favian3380]

corey Brookins I use two fingers middle finger and index I ride a gsx-r750.

[@coreybrookins8751]

Favian cosmo I have an 05 gsxr1000... I’ve never rode a 750 but I would maybe try 2cd gear at about 5k rpms ... I like 1st 2cd and 3rd gear wheelies...1st is jus power and 2cd and third I play with... but I’m not sure how big the difference is from the 750 to the 1000... my 1000 will do over 100mph in 1st gear... jus give it sum throttle at the same time you pop the clutch once you get comfortable with it... you’ll be doin it as easy as u get on it and ride

[@chasejordan22]

stand up wheelies are for people who cant sit down and wheeie... so obviously sit down are superior.

[@victorrodriguez8917]

Wrong !!!!!! If u wanna learn how to do wheelyy., buy a bicycle ., learn a balance point ., pop at lease 100 ., if u can go at least a street block on a bicycle ., then try it on a motorcycle., also., throttle control is the key (((( remember it ))) .
