- How to wheelie for the first time on a motorcycle.
1. Hit the back Break
2. Pop it up in first and learn to control the speed
3. Get to balance point and get comfy in 1st
4. Put er in 2nd and rev bomb and pull the wheel up and rip dank wheelies down the street

The reason I made this is because I just I mean JUST learned how to do wheelies so I'm trying to make a perspective from a noob so I can hit on all the things I struggle with. I'm not doing coasters or hitting the 12 bar yet I'm still learning but giving info from my perspective might help someone that's a beginner as we probably have the same struggles.
I’m getting it up fairly easy now just struggling to not chase and to actually hit balance point. When I come close to probably hitting it I go to take my feet off so I’m trying to beat it into my head using the rear brake rather than taking my feet off . I probably have to just keep practicing. 4 days is impressive. Keep it up!
Yea man taking the feet off is scary lol. I think after the first few times you use the break your brain will just start to use it lol. I think what helped me a ton was having one foot down and one foot on the break. But you’ll get the hang of it for sure. Keep me posted on your progress 🙏🏼
@@Corey_Vlogs dude the weird part is it’s harder for me to one foot down wheelie than it is for both feet on . I can’t keep it straight that way or something Idk
@@xempath SAME!!! I hate doing them with one foot down I think just after 1 day I decided I couldn't do them any more lol. But it's good to learn the break but I agree one foot down is sketchy.
Wheelie good advice man! Keep up the good videos too.
Uncle Earl is literally my new favorite thing! 😂 dang, you’ve gotten so much better since you first started filming your progress…
Hahaha Thank you bro! I think he'll be apart of the channel from now on lol
I really liked the idea of starting from a stop with only a little throttle applied. Never would’ve thought of this. Lets you really feel what it feels like going backward. So if you’re struggling to commit to the wheelie, do it. Feel yourself fallin back
Are you holding the clutch in mid wheelie? Or let off the clutch when u got it up
Great vid, you seem like a cool dude too ✌🏼
Thank you bro!! We shall ride and do wheelies some day haha.
I can't wheelie in first but I can do it in 5th perfect!
🤣🤣
Not sure how you mean to do it in the beginning can you explain a bit more? It looks like you just hold in the clutch the whole time but that wouldn’t make sense
I do 2nd gear wheelies better then 1st I’m not able to ride balance point yet but I’m able to get it there and chase it a little bit
Yes 2nd gear is a dream! Much better than 1st. And that's good bro! As long as you are getting further and further back you will eventually feel yourself slow down.
I don’t understand why, but I can’t get it up in 2nd gear, 1st gear is easy, but when I try 2nd gear it just won’t come up no matter how much gas I give. Any tips?
@@brunos.6151 I had same struggles at first, what helped me a lot is that after I choose a RPM and pull in the clutch, add some more throttle before dumping the clutch (not by much). I added like 20% and properly shit my self when the wheel stated taking off. It still should be quick ish motion, not like pulling the clutch, measuring RPM, then dumping.
Just pull in and instantly increase a bit by bit before instantly dumping, worked for me. Just... not by much at the time :D
I liked this video, I’m buying a GROM for my channel, I don’t typically do this but if you give me permission I’ll take clips of this and shout you out in my next video.
Absolutely you can use whatever you want :) I'm always excited for someone to get a grom lol. I'll be watching the videos for sure :D
@@Corey_Vlogs yeah, I’m not super great with production but I get views because I have a weird personality I guess. I ride a EV Harley but my channel is making money now
I've been on this step for a year now, I can ride mile long wheelies in any gear (Besides first because my bike is shit and it just bogs now, didn't used to, changed carb, bottom end needs to be tuned) I just cannot get myself to lean my wheelies and turn. It just seems impossible to me, sucks, but I'm not sure I'll ever be able to.
I can mildly turn it, but if I try to do a turn at anything more than 15 degrees I can't or I can feel I'm gonna dump it
I know it's not a great fix but I ride with dang near a flat tire to help me. I'm going to start adding more pressure in the tire soon so I can start learning more but yea it's a hard step that is only taught by practice lol.
When you use the rear brake to bring the front back down a bit are you also letting off the throttle or is the brake enough to bring it back down? Assuming youre being easy on the throttle.
okay so after roughly a year of doing the wheelies I've realized how many things I've left out of this video. This is a VERY good question. So you are supposed to chop the throttle and let the engine brake balance you and then barely touch the brake to bring it back up. However if you are still really new to it's not bad to ride the brake a bit to get up to that balance point just know that you can cook the brake and get brake fade.
Why are you hitting the back brake? I don’t understand what the back brake is for?
The back brake is the most curcial part of the wheelie as it is the thing that will bring the front wheel back down in the event that you are about to loop out.
Why won’t my Grom pop up in second gear? If my clutch is bad will that affect it?
It's just mega hard to get it up in second. I was able to get it in 2nd only with smaller sprocket upfront.
@@Corey_Vlogsdo you have a link for that 13 tooth sprocket you got? I have no clue what one fits.
Do you recommend changing the sprocket before doing these? Are you riding stock sprockets?
I did them with stock for a bit but changing it to a 13 tooth made all the difference. I fully recommend either going down in the front or up in the back. I dropped 2 teeth in the front which translates to 6 up in the back
@@Corey_Vlogs cool man. Thanks for the response.
What is your top speed now?
could you list all your grom mods?
Pro taper 110 bend
13T sprocket
My stunts 12 bar
@@Corey_Vlogs klx 110bend? i was looking at xr50 bars, which would you recomend?
@@blakeskeens2722 I wanna say they were CRF 110 but I think the klx 110 are the same. I haven't tried the 50 bars but truly anything other than stock is going to be amazing.
Do you have abs
Not really I don't do a ton of core exercises. 🤣 jk no I don't have the abs model I know if you do that it is a lot more sketchy for the back break. Idk if you can turn it off you should be able to do it though.
@@Corey_Vlogs lmao lame dad jokes and i find out its only in the front brake in the uk so we all good
I thought abs was only in the front tire.
Brotha, you didn’t drop back at all on this video. Borderline chasing.
I knew I would get this comment and I knew I should have had a video from outside to prove it wrong. But literally just look at the rpm’s they are hardly climbing and it’s not a How to drop back video it’s a how to wheelie video. I’m 1000% getting to balance point and that’s what I’m showing the viewer
will this end up being bad on my clutch? just bought a 2019 grom with 2900 miles
So I did roughly 6000 miles of stunts and wheelies and stuff on my klx and at that mark I had to replace my clutch I think it costs me $60. I did about 3000 miles of wheelies and clutch ups on my grom and it never gave out. IF you relase the clutch fast and don't drag it you'll be fine for 20,000 miles lol HOWEVER if you drag it then yes eventually you will be replacing it. But it takes 10 min and costs like $50
