How to wheelie the FZ/MT series of Yamaha Bikes (without crashing)

Sorry if this video is a bit rambly, and maybe not the best wheelie tutorial for everyone but this is how I learned how to wheelie.

[@Powerwheelielover]

Just wanted to say that I learned how to power wheelie on my mt09 watching this video. Took me about 2 months but since I was commuting it was a lot easier to practise everyday. Baby steps is key and remember to lean back!

[@burgy5516]

Yo the shade against scooter bros, why? I'll wave at those dudes time and again before I wave at a Harley rider.

[@xpman85]

Me too! Harley riders seem to be too superior for other bikes that actually do more than make a lot of noise in a straight line 😂

[@harorider96]

Scooter bros don’t even know about the wave in my experience.

[@treedogg]

I used to wheelie the absolute F outta my old XR 200 dirtbike after school every day, I'd just clutchless upshift all the way to 6th lol. Can't wait to get the mt10 after 5 years with my 07 600RR. It's time.

[@daniellang6112]

Ben since 80's liter bikes that I've ridden decent wheelies! All clutch up's on those old beasties. Patience is what you're preaching, so true!

[@ReevyTCG]

That's my favourite spot in Mexico, I go there to wheelie all the time 😉

[@ReevyTCG]

Trouble with power wheelies on the MT-07 is it feels like you have no control, they feel sketchy af compared to clutch ups lol since I learned clutch ups I hate doing power wheelies.

[@VeryFastBoi]

Reevy I’ll have to get more seat time on an 07, haven’t wheelied one in a couple months

[@ReevyTCG]

@@VeryFastBoi I'm jealous of your MT-10 mate, I just went to look at one in tech black and the dealer was like go on you know you want it 😂

I practiced on the '04 FZ6 yesterday, it loves to wheelie. But the one you're on... that is such a torque king! I love it! You have one of the funnest and badass wheelie bikes made. And that sound...🐒🏍👌 it sounds like a built hot rod. Blessings to you hoolie

[@2lbsTrigrPull]

Everybody talks about how to wheelie but nobody mentions that on the MT-09 TCS has to be set to atleast 1 or off completely do to proper wheelies.

[@CadenDooley]

2 year old comment but solved my question

[@ballzmckgee3167]

Mine threw that front wheel up so fast yesterday I came down and landed on my nutsack.. pulled over and walked it off haha

[@dene1196]

You make it look easy. I have an old FZ1 with 5 valve engine, have to really rev it to power wheelie. Very scary.

[@itsmeericb]

Everyone keeps telling me clutch ups are safer than power wheelies. I think that is not true. I feel I will loop a clutch up over a power wheelie. I feel more comfortable and have more control of the initial point of when the bike comes up. I’ve tried a clutch up and it scared the crap out of me! 😄 I have a 2017 FZ-10 with a tune. Thing is a monster!

Was waiting for this since I seen it was being uploaded, a little late but I’m here

[@burritosupreme9797]

Very enjoyable video🤟

[@daylatedrift]

Way easier to clutch up 3rd or 4th on the fz10 especially if you don't have a quickshifter or smooth throttle control bc in lower gears it's a bit radical(snappy) I personally started on a 600rr never rode dirt bikes or anything, learned to wheelie 2nd gear clutch ups. To each their own but cover that rear brake

[@VeryFastBoi]

3rd gear clutch ups are the best 1 & 2 you can just crack the throttle and wheelie

[@trademarked8320]

Thanks, I just bought an MT-10 and this is helpful

[@jackraylongiii9663]

This is exactly how I taught myself also. I always hated trying to do clutch ups it was just one more thing to fuck up and I was never consistent with it. So I started doing 1st gear power wheelies slowly going higher as I got used to the feeling. I don’t have either of those bikes but mines a GSX-S 750 and the power band is pretty much the same as a mt-09. Good video!

[@aressimbamt0959]

power band is not even close in tourqe with mt09

[@jackraylongiii9663]

@@aressimbamt0959 IDK what you're talking about they are literally almost exact, both around 60 pounds or torque and at about 9,500 RPM to 10,000. both have about the same horsepower also. When I ride mine then an MT-09 they feel almost identical so idk what you mean at all.

The Monster its Alive !!!

What traction control setting and power mode are you doing these wheelies with?

[@sethglenn9022]

"off"

[@dougiequick1]

what about the electronic settings? Traction control wheelie control modes....which are you in or you dont care?

[@TheDixie3000]

Very good tips man! I learned primarily in 1st gear bc my 2nd gears are weird in comparison to a 18’ mt which my buddy had. Learning the throttle when it’s so sensitive is what ultimately let me learn powers through out the rest of the first 3 gears. Clutch ups came easy right after. 😎

[@СергейБорисов-н4п]

Hi! And which driving mode did you show, power 1 or 2? And what was your traction mode?

[@JDW0]

Fuck yeah man loved the advice, ive just been practicing power wheelies in second gear on my 09, 6k rpm and blip the throttle it comes right up, however i cant hold it that long lol i guess ill just keep sending it.

[@hawaiielite]

Cool video! Lots of really good tips. When you quickshift while in a wheelie are you doing anything with the throttle? Everytime I shift in wheelie the front drops down to the ground.

[@VeryFastBoi]

You gotta give it more throttle when you shift, that will be my next video explaing the quickshifter and how to keep the front tire up

[@Spacchio]

Man one thing I know for sure. It doesn’t work with the sv650 unless you use the clutch and you twist that throttle as much as you can🎉

[@twowheelsquirrel]

Don't forget to turn traction control off, mine won't do it with it on

[@renderedtoxic5403]

What ur saying is on ur particular bike, the power band is 9k rpm and that's when u twist the throttle for a power wheelie ? I've done it backwards on my zx9r and learned clutch ups but sold that and am getting a fz8. I haven't had much luck finding power band to do a power wheelie.

[@mackeycharli256]

I have a Tuono and I still find it difficult to power wheelie as easy as that. Just stays on the ground and takes off like a rocket ship, even with al the traction and wheelie control off.

[@ianlynch7889]

My bike doesn’t power wheelie this much especially not sitting close to the tank, has an ecu flash and nice pipe on it, not sure how yours power wheelies so easy

[@cadendooley8313]

[@xxcodmasterxx3680]

I have a 2023 MT-07 but does the ABS and it being A2 restricted stop me trying to wheelie?

For the MT-09 do you need to turn off Traction control in order to make wheelies?

That’s cuz the 03 is slow, you can do it you just have to dump a lot of clutch and pull up really hard

[@Libertà_sopra_vita]

Rider weight has a whole lot to do with it. Im 250 and i have to snatch the throttle in 1st to get the front wheel up. 2nd 3rd clutch ups on the mt10. My old tuono would power wheelie in 2nd.

finally mt10 vid how to wheelie it i see that you have tc off what riding mode did you use? a mode is litle bit crazy for the first time wheelies

[@zeda598]

For me ive noticed Standard mode is best as it comes up gradually

[@VeryFastBoi]

TheMacki95 TheMacki95 I ride in whatever the fastest power mode is, I would heavily suggest getting an ecu tune. It’ll improve the throttle response and give you more power. I used Bauce racing for my ecu tune and haven’t had any problems, you just ship your ecu to them and it’s about 220$ I think

e34_THC I learned how to wheelie on a 09 r6 but I wasn’t very good and couldn’t hold them very long. I think you can learn wheelies with out dumping the 09 you just gotta be patient, try standard mode in second gear and give it a tug and some gas should come right up, from there it’s all about steady improvement

Thanks! Great video, Great tips !!

Do I need to put my MT09 in a specific mode? Or just take TCS off?

yeah as long as TCS is off you'll have enough power even in C mode

[@user-nb8yt2il2r]

TCS really only fucks with clutch ups in my experience, couldn't hurt to turn it off though. Power mode in A all day bro, it helps you to keep it up, just crack it if it starts to dip back down and it will usually pull back up, get ready to quickshift

@@VeryFastBoi mode 1 is the only mode :)

[@ajblack6473]

Ride any of the modes that you feel comfortable with. I have an fz10 (so its 2017) and I keep it in A. A mode is the middle ground mapping. This may be a shock but I will say it loudly, NONE OF THE MODES CHANGE THE POWER. The different modes only change the throttle mapping. B mode or mode 1 is the easiest to wheelie in because it is the “snatchiest” throttle. At the 50% percent twist you are WOT. More aggressive mode means less twist to reach wide open throttle.

[@voyteq1]

@@ajblack6473 hi man. I am having mt09 and on my bike throttle reaction is sharpest on mode A, little less sharp on Standard mode and very relaxed on mode B. This what I learned is that you can wheelie on any of those modes. But to keep the wheel up is the easiest on mode B. This is the mode to learn wheelie on my bike in my opinion 😊👍🏻
