Stunter Sessions- How to Wheelie part 2

[@dinosinanovic3535]

READ THIS IF YOU ARE LEARNING TO POP WHEELIES firstly good video and nice advice guys! but i have to give everybody who are just learning to do wheelies an advice. when you are learning how to do wheelies, pop your bike up maybe 30-60cm or 1-2 foots and slam the rear brake and keep doing that until the "reflex" to hit your rear brake goes automaticlly. the rear brake is the only thing thats going to save you when you go past the balance point and freak out. i have almost crashed/crashed several times when i just started to do wheelies because i didnt start with the "reflex" to slam the rear brake and also if you are thinking about learning how to wheelie, just know that you are going to crash just like the guys in the video said, dont go around and think "naah i wont crash ill just take it easy. TRUST ME you will one day freak out and fall from you bike. a helmet and some gear doesnt make you look stupid (for anyone who thinks so) use it!! :)

[@alexxela754]

Ok. So maybe I just give up then. Because I’m not interested to crash my bike…..

[@z6006]

Good dudes with no ego BS. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@GeoCog]

I Learned a lot from this video,after riding for three years today I was able to purposely get my front wheel up in the air for more than a second LoL!!!!

[@Shields18]

when he mentioned that the bike goes weightless at balance point i remembered my first wheelie on my supermoto 2 years ago xD I had never seen a toturial just heard from friends and one day i was riding around. I found a spot where nobody was and no obsticles in the way. so i was like "okay...lets try it" First attempts didn't go well. I couldn't lift the bike up. So i got too agressive on the gas and before i knew, i had popped the bike up into balance point. I paniced...i didn't know what to since i didn't know how high the bike was because it REALLY FEELS WEIGHTLESS. i thought i was about to fall backwards and forgot the rearbreak. so i tried to slow down by leaving the gas...DON'T DO THAT. The motorcycle fell on the side and i tried to kick it up before i fell, but i couldn't kick it up high enough so it fell on the side again and landed on my knee and dragged me a few meters. Nothing serious had happened. My calf was black and blue from the impact, and my knee hurt like a bitch for a few weeks but nothing else. Just wanted to share my first wheelie story even if it is a bad one xD

[@kaderbenguetib2778]

Same it happened to me bro and it's like u feel empty hhhh nothing to do once she star falling hhhh

[@leddielive]

You make it look so easy, but I really appreciate the time & effort you've put in to helping others like myself to learn how to wheelie, thanks.

[@frankthetankfpv]

this video was the key to my wheelie start. im doing balance point rear peg and staggered but like 65 mph. back roads. 2nd or 3rd gear clutch up. but been trying to go back to basics. this slow wheelie is tough

[@MrJD248]

Got a gixxer 600 k2 And just started to learn how, i get it up really well and managed to go along a far bit but the revs were climbing, im too scared to go that bit extra at the moment to get the balance point but im sure i'll get there, ur vids are great thanks for the help & advice

[@andrewwilliams3063]

Best wheelie instruction ever seen. Others I've seen don't compare. Great instruction.

[@429psi]

By far the best descriptive and helpful wheelie tutorial on youtube. Thanks for sharing!

[@soflogator]

These explanations make the practice I've done so far make so much more sense.

[@musne17]

I noticed the rear tyre especially on the road bike is on low pressure. That would also help pop a wheelie because of the increased traction. You should have pointed that out in your clip!

[@dougbelanger2339]

just realese a lil bit of your rear tire pressure like 5 pounds

[@urbansherpa]

Very well done video. I don’t think there’s any way to improve that. Well-spoken, well-explained, and polished. Thank you.

[@rtogurl]

Great vid guys. I won't be trying these maneuvers on my bike, but love to watch. Thanks.

[@888jackflash]

Interesting and well explained. I'm an old sportbike rider and have been doing wheelies for 40 years. I can do some very smooth "Chase" wheelies... but never learned to use that darned rear brake. Now I'm going to go out and LEARN!

[@KjKase]

Did my first wheelie today and damn did it feel good. Didn't hit balance point and didn't keep it up for too long but damn was it ever fun! Almost addictive really, I can't wait to go out and do it again.

[@DearMajesty]

This is all really confusing when you're just starting out. I just watched this video again after practicing for a few months. A little each day and figuring shit out on my own. This really consolidates and reinforces everything I learned myself. Remember, little by little and you'll get there!

[@Drummerdad61]

Thank you so much Nick explaining every single detail of popping a wheelie.As an old fart getting back into biking I have always wanted to be able to pop a wheelie. Many Thanks again. Jim

[@PhuckenTacoz]

thanks for the help with the clutch ups ive been reving high and dumping and getting nothing but wheel spin. thanks when i get good ill post a response vid gsf1200 stock

[@DaOzMan0608]

11 years later, I love the nostalgia of this video

[@andreasramanata2428]

Wow... it's been long time for 12 years ago... i need this practice... good job

[@SportbikeWrench]

Depends on the manufacturer, carcass and compound. I run my street bike tires at 34 cold front and rear when the weather is below 55 degrees. A couple of pounds higher above 60. Dave Moss Host

[@TheLJamess]

Was practicing tonight did well for my 2nd time out having fun, can't wait to get out again and work on the rear brake control.

[@npb.spectrum]

@Driftcorp Thx. It didnt feel to hard on the clutch when i did it right. I did 5 or 6 pwr wheelies today using clutch. Time to start aiming for BP. :D

[@jngo4852]

Great instructions, probably the best step by step video

[@ComptonCalisFinest]

awesome vid I got 1 down 3 up on a gsxr 1000 I want to learn slow stand ups still trying to get over the fear of looping

[@butcher1018728]

Thank you so very much! I am now brave enough, with some knowledge and video help, to try and pop a wheelie on my motorcycle. It's not a sport bike but a bike I picked up for 700 bucks, 83 Honda Nighthawk. It is 550cc, I hope its powerful enough to do a wheelie easily.

[@Axeltreman]

half of the viewers did not got to this part because they went running to their bikes!

[@GatsuRage]

10 years later... still useful, Thanks!

[@boburyusupov9487]

This wheelie tutorial is the right tutorial explaining showing precisely great video guys

[@michaelsupple6081]

Outstanding two videos. Thanks.

[@IntelligentBystander]

man you guys are awesome, gotta go back and like the first vid

[@nicholasb2341]

makes sense. I learned how to wheelie from this. thnx guys!

[@nicholasb2341]

+comdvr271 not once.

[@makensa.j.3533]

Wow. I'm still learning still haven't figured it out yet. I'm must doing something completely wrong. Anyone can tell me step by step. Link me a video please. Gotta do it this summer lol..

[@Abc-ps9ox]

Makenson Aubain just gas and drop clutch and cover rear brake. Practice make Perfect

[@makensa.j.3533]

@@Abc-ps9ox I'll keep that on mind. I've try so many times. I'm. Pretty sure I'm doing something wrong. Whenever can you post another video. Of wheelie😁😁😁

[@Abc-ps9ox]

Makenson Aubain do you struggle to Get it up or hold at balance point?

[@JasonTurksOfficial]

I love bikes and this was a great way of teaching a frist timer the simple step of wheelie thanks very much ..

[@loydabmx]

on of the best teaching videos around Thanks

[@alexmoerman6785]

You guys rock lets hope i can now bring up the front of my zx 636

[@Chhaaddd]

@jok79 That's personal preference. If your comfortable doing sitdowns, then it will probably be easier finding the balance point during sitdowns. However, when you do stand ups, you're raising your center of gravity. Which, to me, makes it easier to balance when your at the balance point. Also, when your doing stand ups, you can use your body more to help with lifting the front tire and balancing.

[@thenam3less]

@DLDidier1 it depends on the bike. some 600cc bikes are ok in first gear I would do second gear 99% of the time while learning but if you ride a 1000cc second or third gear is a better option for wheelies because of how violent the front end can come up in first gear.

[@townbiscuit]

used to have a 2004 fz6,learned to do power wheelies by myself. loved to bike. still,wanted to try a v2 engine so i sold it and bought a 2007 sv650s. man this is so different. i barely lift the front using just the acceleration and had no succes doing a clutch wheelie. i simply can't understand the bike. seen plenty of people doing wheelies on sv 650's. great video anyway.tried it,didn`t work. can`t see what i`m doing wrong.

[@Gsxforsale]

@braidontennant one is low beam and when u click high beam they both come on. They do make kits so u can have them both on together as low beam and high beam.

[@shottisimo1]

it's amazing to me how slow it comes up in first when you do it on the stock bike!! very entertaining!!

[@arambrown9116]

Been riding a couple years now. Every (baby) wheelie I've done thus far was completely by accident. I have no desire to put on a stunt show, but least now I have a better idea of what's going on with my bike. More understanding, more control, safer ride. Thanks for the video.

[@ninjeff]

Hey, as a track rider, i admit to having zero desire to stunt in any way. That being said, this was a very well done instructional video. You guys did a great job. Keep it up.!

[@bobtheghost0624]

Those aren't stock sport bike forks. Should have mentioned for bike with stock forks, wring it out when you're coming down so you don't blow them out.

[@nickriverz8974]

U specify n detail what needz 2 b done, very n extremely helpful, n what u zay practice practice practice, God bless

[@Pete1987pl]

i actualy used this video and part one to weeleie my yamaha fz6r and its actualy going good..its all about just taking your time and practicing

[@GreenRider1982]

I noticed nobody mentioned tire pressure. If you drop your rear wheel pressure to about 30 psi you will be able to balance the side to side easier. Works for stoppies as well. It basically makes the tire have a flatter profile to the road riding more like you just had a rim. Just remember when running low pressure not to go to fast with it low under 100 mph. Cornering is greatly affected by having it so low. It will wash out on you. Good video. I got a cousin in law who loves to power up and always tries to tell me not to clutch it. Says it is more dangerous, LOL he has a GSXR1000 and I got a R6, for some reason I get up sooner and ride longer he just doesn't get it.

[@marckirby7356]

Amateurs power wheelie...clutch it up and ignore him..The quicker you get it up the lower your rpm will be..so it's smoother and if your not at bp then you have more rpm to wheelie.. Clutch wheelies suck

[@marckirby7356]

Meant power wheelies suck... Clutch wheelies only way to do it

[@Salpeteroxid]

Marc Kirby Watch part one...

[@marckirby7356]

Salpeteroxid I have watched part one..why?

[@Salpeteroxid]

Marc Kirby I wasn't sure if you were replying to the video or Jeff

[@bigtymer]

Welp. Better start looking up prices on fairing kits and hope that's all I break haha. Great video guys, very helpful, me and my CBR will be having some fun this weekend if I can find a spot XD

[@iwanttolook]

Best instructional vids ive seen. Excelent

[@rephouse86]

Great video. Gotta get used to the rear brake instead of the engine break so ill be more comfortable bringing it to the balance point.

[@michaelarellano9138]

I have a stock R6 I been practicing the clutch up for me to pick it up pretty high I have to get my Rpms too like 10K

[@dominikknapik7990]

I just mentioned earlier .raise ur idle and u will see improvement immediately

[@ChimpinAintEASY1]

are you doing this in 1st or 2nd gear

[@joes1]

I have watched both part one and two it has been very helpful I have a 04 yzf 600r thundercat I'm much heavier than you and this bike weight just over 400 lbs I have found that at around 15 mph in first gear I have to bring the rpm up closer to around 10k to get it up I have not tried carrying it out yet just getting comfortable with it coming up first but is this normal rpm range to bring it up I have tried power wheelies alone that will not happen with this one thanks for the video to

[@dongfang123987]

If you want to speed up and your in your wheelie do you pop the clutch again and go in the next gear instead of red lining it?

[@caparzo2142]

best HOW TO WHEELIE vid on KZbin !!!!!!!!!!!!! already making progress

[@Chhaaddd]

@jok79 Finding the balance point can be as scary as the first time pulling the wheel off the ground. I would highly recommend starting out on a 4 wheeler with a grab bar. Anyways, if your doing long wheelies but can't find the balance point, its because your front wheel isn't up enough. Your probably very slowly accelerating too while you wheelie. Balance point = front end will feel weightless and you won't be accelerating at all. Hope that helps. Remember to cover the brake AND THE CLUTCH

[@Proyectosandia]

Install sliders to the frame, in order to protect side fairings in a crash

[@futuredoc17]

Best informative video on how to do a wheelie

[@nickgrnr81]

Best wheelie vid on youtube, great job man very informative...

[@TheAirgunAssassin]

Awesome tips and explanation.

[@NuarStanger]

Great video and extremely informative! Thank you for taking the time and the effort!

[@Chris10rx]

I need to learn how to do a wheelie. Like seriously. Just dont want to learn how on the bike I have now though lol. I need something like a z1000. Now I've done a wheelie before but it was by mistake. In the middle of a race and when I shift to 3rd, the front end came up. Maybe a good foot up in the air. Then laid it back down. Had no idea in the world how i did it lol

[@actsantarosa]

Great job guys.

[@boomstick2792]

Is it easier/better to slip the clutch without closing the throttle or to close the throttle, pull in the clutch and then rev it up while letting the clutch out?

[@govnor1495]

Where were you guys when I was 12 years old on my YZ80?

[@illhaveanother4365]

Probably out riding wheelies

[@lamoni1969]

When you give your wheelie a spurt of gas from the throttle at 5-8000 rpm, do you hold that spurt of gas in the same position until the front end comes up? Excellent vids. LaMoni69

[@Dr.itachi28]

very informative bro! :) You talk about the basics and the 'feeling'! that is amazing!

[@tariqholder8818]

U da Man!... gr8 teachings on the sportbike wheelie!.. Much thanks!.. Bless!..

[@toddr4810]

Great teachin fellas! Got an old 89 Honda Hurricane 1000. It's a bit of a tank (heavy steel frame) so not gonna flirt w/ bp but thanks for showing a variety of wheelie heights.

[@paco111ification]

@paco111ification Start out at the bottom of the power band and instead of cracking the throttle wide open, make a fast yet smooth motion to open up the throttle. Now right before you do this lean forward and when you "roll" on the throttle pop yourself backwards. Also if you want to learn and have the bike come up smoother start in 2nd, more speed = slower throttle response. Also when you are coming down floor it at the last possible second to prevent head shake.

[@sheepborg]

@zakiyezdery It can work for a 250, though a 1990 cbr250rr is pushing it i think. You will need alot more effort into getting the bike up, but that is ok because then it is also harder to flip out.

[@stephendelmonico2603]

why did i watch this video in the winter

[@a1bambamg6]

Stephen Del Monico why am I watching in winter 5 years later without a motorcycle

[@Chhaaddd]

no, when you find the balance point you should just be able to hold the rpms still. It should all be done with throttle. The brake is for if you go over your balance point. He was making an example of how it works.

[@paco111ification]

@SoFuturistik With a ZX10 you shouldent have to use the clucth at all, just quickly roll on the throttle. in 1st 2nd and a little in 3rd it will come up easily on its own power. But dont crack the throttle or bad things could happen.

[@ChrisTian-lf2oh]

Damn, it looks so easy! Gotta learn this - good vid guys!

[@smxprotuner]

suppose you got 2stroke. just before the powerband hold the clutch a second or less while you hit the trhottle than you can wheelie out your gear, i put a 80cc cilinder on that way you can shift while eheeling

[@dallasbiaze]

great video very helpful step by step

[@Itsjumbomuffin]

wow !! u guys are super nice ! truely the best 'how to..' i have seen on youtube ! subscribed ;D ! i want more :)

[@ewm04]

Thanks for the thorough explanation. Now I must try this...

[@paulerice3342]

i never knew to have your left foot on passenger peg and use your right foot for the rear brake while trying to do a wheelie... ill give it a try tomorrow and see if i can finally do a damn wheelie. the only times ive brought my front wheel up is when i went thru the gears hard but, the wheel only came up a inch or two. thanks for the info guys. wish me luck....

[@TheMMObro]

be careful. i feel like the passenger peg thing would throw my balance off even more

[@MrJoel92f]

Awesome instructional video

[@MrPezdets]

you forgot too mention i noticed that you had your psi in the rear tire lower that making the wheelie easier.!!

[@gabrielburny5244]

Great video

[@narcoz3]

You can power wheelie in higher gears, just give it a bit of throttle, enough to get the front off, lean back and find your balance point.

[@Navs126]

You have to pop the clutch as soon as you give the 1/4 turn crank to the throttle, meaning do it simultaneously, as one movement. You also have to forget about the fear of dropping the bike because if you don't. Your going to keep slipping the clutch like your doing now and not pop it like your suppose to.

[@Elpipiton]

@boom. Without letting off, so when you slip the clutch some weight is going towards the back wheel

[@DenizenV1]

I'm particularly referring to sit down wheelies - the sort that just go a foot off the ground. Nothing spectacular. However, further to this, I just had new tyres and I reckon my rear shock is stuffed, so it's probably a super dangerous idea to try a wheelie anyway at this stage! :D

[@siekiersk]

@47redneck47 No i don't no where you heard that from ,but just keep your oil level where its suppose to be for every day riding .

[@rinkadinkles]

Would you suggest the Wheelie Teach? Got an 06 gsxr600 and not very experienced. Yet!

[@TerryDW9000]

Great video, but one thing i didn’t catch was, what gear are u in 1st or 2nd

[@omkarchavan9592]

Hey DeezyTheDude thanks for the advice. I shall definitely keep it in mind when buying my first bike. Btw any suggestions regarding the 600cc category. I am looking at the all the new revamped Kawasaki Ninja 650 for the moment. Any tips/suggestions??

[@patrickthomas815]

Great! Video; Been trying to do a good wheelie without anything going wrong, thanks for the vid.

[@prescher69]

i really like how you are safe about it

[@viggoM35]

Great vid and instruction.

[@Erdi10c]

how long you needed to practice to do these wheelies so good?

[@ThePhronobial]

what kind of crush bungs/sliders did you use on your kawa? they look like they have bars added on them? nice vids! thanks!

[@williambutler1955]

I can pop it up but having a rough time chasing it after. I think I need to stay on the throttle after I pop it up or give it more after I pop it

[@robmc7203]

Do you plan on taking your entire ride on one wheel?

[@freeze3kgt]

kawasaki (probably around 2008 model year if he got that bike new) he says it around the 3 min mark.. not sure if its a zx6r or zx10r or some sort of ninja but at least you have a way to look for it

[@DenizenV1]

I welcome any constructive reply to this, so here's my honestly genuine scenario and question: I had a friend on the back some time ago and we were in a rush. I opened the throttle and the front end -started- to rise; the problem is the handlebars wobbled on me a heck of a lot. Probably this means I was too heavy on them. My major concern is staying light on the bars, hence why I won't (but want to try to) do wheelies. Question: how do you train to be light on the handlebars? :) Thanks.

[@TheAngeloSoro]

btw thanks for the detailed tutorial. Im getting better wheelies than ever now.
