I love watching Jarvis, but Tim is so much better at breaking it down and really detailing the explanation of what he is doing. Extremely talented rider and teacher... rare combo.
May I provide a piece of insight from my experience practicing this technique...... When trying to raise the wheel up as high as Tim is doing in the video, beginners usually don’t keep the throttle open long enough to arc the wheel up quite high, so what ends up happening is the wheel gets up maybe 2 feet in the air for a brief moment before it falls down. The reluctance to keep the throttle open for long enough seems to come from the fear of falling back. The chances of you falling back when the bike is almost vertical are none. Even of you do fall back, it’s mostly harmless if you’re wearing protective gear.. Do not be afraid to keep the throttle open until the whee goes up high. Once you get a feel for how long the throttle needs to be open, you will be able to reflexively control throttle open time. Expect it to take a week or two for those reflexes to be developed.
great points! it's also okay to start small. practice getting the timing right and just go a foot or two and practice using the rear brake to bring the front down. Once using the rear brake is burned into your brain you will not fear going to the balance point as you know you will be safe as long as you are covering the brake pedal! Also because this is a slow technique you can simply step off the back if you go too far too fast, that's why standing is safer at first.
I'm so glad he's on the 350... I have one and I have a lot of consistency issues getting the front end up. Seeing how easily he does it on my same bike proves that the bike is very capable, and I just need to keep practicing. It might sound stupid but this video is EXACTLY what I needed to see! Thank you!! And yes, I just subscribed 👍
It would have been amazing to see the footage of students trying it. Its one of the best ways to learn - from other peoples mistakes. There is a narrow 'correct' space but it is amazing the infinite ways learners get into trouble and make errors. Seeing these various errors is a gold mine for the master and the learner alike!
Key bit of info here is too pop the clutch on the down stroke of the suspension rather than trying to time it for the rebound. This one helped me break through to the next hurdle. What gear are you popping up in there Tim?
@@PrimalEnduro Hi, I'm back. It went very well considering my experience. The tip about going slow and pressing the front was very helpful, even when sitting. I'm at the point that I'm afraid of looping out, so I need to practice a lot my rear brake control. Thanks again :) (PD: sorry if I typed something wrong. English is not my native language. I'm from Uruguay)
@@Papparratzi Correct! A common mistake is to try and catch the rebound with the clutch/throttle input but it happens too fast and you end up missing it. Just add in the clutch and throttle as soon as the bike is at the bottom of the travel. If you try and wait for it you are too late.
@@devinhood7340 not sure what you are asking? I think people tend to get too hung up on setting up the bike to perform a certain way when it's really just the technique used by the rider more than any bike setup. At least with these slow speed techniques.
@@devinhood7340 Primal meant (I assume) ..that the fork springs are a/the 2nd option higher of spring rate rated springs, available to be used for its particular stock OEM fitment of telescopic forks.
@@razor1uk610 I think he meant on the adjuster atop the forks if it was adjusted 2 clicks softer, which I believe iis the dampening but I can't remember
The one thing not mentioned in the explanation is how quickly and fully you shift your weight to the back of the bike immediately as you’re rebounding.
Hi Tim, nice explanations. I struggle with the throttle... when the front wheel comes up and my body goes back, I hold the handlebar and my hand add too much throttle and the bike loops. How do you hold your body without adding gas ?
Thank you this helped a lot I was way over doing my RPM and bringing it up way too fast it made it harder to catch with the rear brake but I figured out the lower RPM takeoff I'm able to do my slow wheelies cuz I'm not over rotating too quickly thanks you so much
I would really like to see a short video segment talking about best practices for wheelie on a motorbike that is direct drive (no clutch) like the Zero Motorcycles FX, Alta Motors Redshift, Luna Cycles Sur Ron X, or KTM Freeride E-XC. All the same this is good information but there are few examples of technical riding on electrics.
I would think it would be similar using the suspension, the only difference is there is no clutch, so you get what you get with the throttle. However, my understanding is electric motors deliver torque very quickly so it might even be better! sort of "Electric Smooth"...LOL
With the Zero FX I had to train myself to put my hand a little further on the right handle than normal, forcing me to turn the right handle faster then normal
Can you do this technique without using the front brake? Also when you compress the forks do you release the front brake right after while giving throttle? Like using the front brake and throttle at the same time or hand off brake followed by throttle? Thanks.
The front brake is only use to initiate the compression of the fork. You can let go before it rebounds. you don't need to use the brake, but it's just easier and helps with the weight transition.
Unfortunately there are some videos on youtube that tell you to weight the forks to help pop up the wheel. This video obviously teaches the right way which is to compress on the pegs. If you try to compress the forks you will be leaning too far forward to be able to easily lift up the front wheel.
This video shows the technique for the standing slow wheelie. We practiced this method first because as you approach an obstacle most of the time you will be standing. For seated slow wheelies the front brake method works better since you can't really compress from the pegs.
Interesting. I've been trying to put in some practice with wheelies and pivot turns, and I've got the rear brake covered, but finding that balance is a hard task. I'll have to try the standing version and see how it feels next time. I'm thinking how every time I start a wheelie it's from a dead stop with my left foot down, and I'm quite short, and its VERY difficult to bring that foot up to the peg. I always end up doing 180°-360° pivot turns whilst repeatedly and rapidly dabbing the left foot. Good video though.👍
I have the same problem and I'm not very short @5'11" so it must be technique! Gotta go practice more and film it so I can see what I'm doing wrong. All of my seated slow wheelies turn into pivot turns!
Lets see if i can get my DR650 up with this method... im pretty confident. My DR has a weird balance point though... comes really late. Also i need to drain my tank before since with the full 5.3 gal tank its not even power wheeling in first and clutching it up is difficult because there is so much weight so high located
Do you think an auto clutch holds a person's development of riding skill back? I think I got better after I stopped using an auto clutch. Plus how do you double blip a log on the auto?
I was a long time Auto clutch fan and still think they have their place. When I decided I wanted to learn some trials techniques it was obvious I needed the manual clutch. I've ditched the auto and am so much happier with my progress. You really need the precise control of the manual to master these techniques. The auto just gets in the way...you are trying to do your thing and it's trying to do it's.
I like standing better because I have a bad habit of not covering the rear brake so it's easy to step off. before I'm buying yet another rear fender...LOL
@@PrimalEnduro Hahaha yes I know the feeling. I learned sitting down on a four stroke 450 an then tried the same clutch, front brake throttle on a 300xc 2 stroke an that 2 stroke put me right on my back like a pancake being flipped. Broke all the plastic, fender, seat ripped off, an side plastic. Two stroke hit combined with whiskey throttle. I invested in a wheelie guard an it's saving me money in the long run. Lol
@@emburgess7186 I think it would be pretty hard to work the clutch and left hand rear brake at the same time which is needed with this technique. Maybe with something a bit more complicated such as the Clake Two? Probably better to train yourself to use the foot brake just like the Pro's. It just takes practice to build the muscle memory.
Having a hard time with my KTMXCF without giving it too much throttle on the torque pulls too hard and it seems like you’re giving almost nothing. Does it matter your suspension settings currently I have mine set to soft on front and rear should I make them more stiff?
suspension is fine soft. You want to give it just a little bit of gas with the clutch slipping right at the biting point. Then compress the front suspension by moving your weight forward by flexing(bending) your legs so your whole body moves forward (not just your chest and shoulders) then as you "unflex" and move back and as the suspension starts to rebound just give a small blip of throttle and clutch. It really take very little throttle to get the front end up. Most people think it takes a lot but it's more about body movement and timing. I hope this helps.
Yes, very little throttle and weighting the rear for traction , then spring up/back on the rebound (as soon as the suspension reaches full compression) spring up/back. with the body movement you won't need much throttle.
Can it be done on underpowered bikes (see 125cc 4 stroke for example)? I have found I can pop the front if I use a kicker, but actually lifting the front is really difficult for me.
Certainly! This technique relies on body positioning and weighting/un-weighting the suspension much more than bike power. If you watch Tim, He first weights the suspension and then catches the rebound with just a little bit of throttle and clutch while he shifts his weight up and back to assist the front end coming up. Practice and you will see it's not the power of the bike at all.
PrimalEnduro thank you!!! I'll try it tomorrow. Sadly my bike's suspension is quite hard, so compressing the front is also a bit more difficult, but I've seen my friend do it, so it's definitely not impossible!
@@riveraluciano One trick that helps is to apply throttle/release clutch just as the suspension reach full downward travel. If you try to wait for the rebound you will miss it and the throttle will just cause the wheel to spin. I just uploaded a video of Graham Jarvis demonstrating this technique as well.
Hi PrimalEnduro, this is really helpful and thank you for posting it. I have one question, though. My 150cc 2-stroke doesn't seem strong enough to bring the front up if I use the clutch and throttle together from the idle. Do you think the engine should be strong enough as long as the timing is right? It's amazing to see that Tim was hardly using any rpms...
@Shlutty Mc'Shlutface exactly, the main thing is weighting the suspension so it store and releases the energy to rebound. Then with your body unweight the suspension and lean back while giving just a little blip of throttle to help. It's the combination of these 3 things at the right time that makes it easy! A common mistake is to add the blip of throttle too late, so as soon as the suspension goes down ad the blip of throttle as you spring up and back. Practice, Practice, Practice and you will get it!
Maybe adjust your idle up a bit to keep it from pop stalling. I haven't ridden a motox four stroke in some time, but even Tim pop stalled the KTM a few times getting used to it. Maybe a flywheel weight would help?
@@user-np6wq1tx9c practice getting the front wheel up just a bit and using the rear brake to bring it down. Practice this until you don't have to think about it and it just happens..Then and only then you are ready for 12 oclock wheelies!
At the same time feed in just a little bit of throttle as you release the clutch lever, you don't need much! Do this just as you complete the downstroke of the fork so it catches the rebound stroke up.
Beta USA wouldn't help our local dealer out with a demo bike for Tim, but the shop was still nice enough to loan him a brand new KTM. He would have prefered a Beta for sure!
just not for this class, he's riding a borrowed KTM from our local dealer, there were no Beta's available for loan...He can ride anything like a beast!
LOL, I'm living proof that it can be done on a two stroke and I have no where near the talent of Tim! I little bike setup and clutch/throttle control goes a long way. With the slow wheelie it's more about body positioning to weight and deweight the front end than it is about what kind of power the bike makes. Tim typically rides a two stroke, but for this trip he was on a borrowed 350exc.
@PrimalEnduro Excellent instructional Vid...Learning the correct way is PRICELESS ! Thx
What's even better is getting trained directly by Tim. The instant correction you get from him is PRICELESS!
... and while having so impressive skills, he is a very nice - humble - guy
@@frogzie Incredibly so! What a blast it was to hang out and ride with him for 2 weeks! Can't wait until next year!
I think this is the best video online explaining how to start wheeling.

Seeing is believing.
So much clearer now that I’ve seen this.

LOL, I'm living proof that it can be done on a two stroke and I have no where near the talent of Tim! I little bike setup and clutch/throttle control goes a long way. With the slow wheelie it's more about body positioning to weight and deweight the front end than it is about what kind of power the bike makes. Tim typically rides a two stroke, but for this trip he was on a borrowed 350exc.
So scawie
