Dan I managed to wheelie a couple of Blackbirds I owned but purely by dropping the clutch and winding the throttle open. Having watched this I am now going to try it on my 1200GS. Who would have thought at 65 I would still be acting like a 16 year old. Age is just a number Dan Thanks for posting.
69 next month , I just got a new controller for my nitrous system that is capable of adding a second stage ,certainly don't need a second stage of nitrous so I decided to use it for methanol injection , hell yeah , stay young as long as you can !
BIG difference in screwing up at 16 years old as compared to 70....at 16 we are limber, FAST reaction time, fast healing....etc etc ...crashing at 70 can easily be life destroying...or permanent quality of life issues ....be VERY careful at 70
Not only is this guy a good rider, he is also a natural on camera. Really enjoyed and learned a lot from this video, now I just need to relate how this will work on my pushbike.
I watch this video periodically from time to time and this guy is so smooth and it's a great refresher to watch his skills....just wish I could do it as good as he does.
iv watched a ton of these videos and this is the only 1 that explains to hut the brake/throttle combo to get the momentum up. thank you for that easy explanation.
That's what I call professionalism. Great tutorial and phenomenal performance. I also liked the way you put the video together. Thank you Sam, keep up the good word. I applied all your tips on practice and made a huge progress. Using the rear break to build and generate the energy is a great technique. I was able to drive my bike on one wheel for about 20 seconds for the first time. However, it is not consistent yet. It happens every now and then. Lol Thanks
Green light hits... I give it a bit too much gas or let go of the clutch too fast or both... my CBR500R hits 12 O'clock and ends up in a balance zone for about 5 seconds. I land it nicely and continue riding as if nothing happened, even though I've almost shit my pants... This just happened to me a few days ago and I have to say I now have a damn good reason to learn how to control the wheelie and this video is one of the best I found!
That happened to me on a cbr929rr...I didnt mean to do it and lucky I didnt flip the thing...my friends thought I did it on purpose so ot mustve looked cool
+BertrandMonsieur me too, crashed my bike after a cager violated my right of way , him having a red light. Pelvis fracture , mid foot disslocation, wrist fracture, and 5 broken ribs a year ago. I am good know all healed and considering buying a bike, but definitely should not be wathcing this. I love the triples. cheers
The only wheelie I have done was on accident. I was working on my 60s time all day and when I was heading home I was sitting pretty far back on my seat at a red light and accelerated a little too quickly making my front wheel pop up. Since I did not expect that I got a nice boost of adrenaline which was fun but every time I tried to recreate this I was unsuccessful. I think the reasoning was because I was afraid of over doing it and wrecking
lots of people don't know what a balance point feels like ,,, so I will suggest to anyone who's learning this to get a bicycle and put 1000 wheelys with it before u try with u motorcycle,,,, clutch was my favor,,, and rear brake ONLY for emergency situation ,, try this and u will be very satisfy., don't do stupid wheelys ,, always study where u doing it .. be always on the safe side,,, never be a showoff.. don't do it on a crowed place... good luck and have a nice wheely day ,,, ((( careful , wheelys are and addiction )))
i tried with a bicycle. Found the balance point, took it a bit to far and made full impact on my tail bone.. I was using a mountain bike and haven't tried them since. Done a few power wheelies maybe a few inches but no clutch. What kind of bicycle do you recommend?
+Fz06 Ridah ACC don't do power wheely... A clush one is more controllable , learn by just pulling few inches don't try to bring it up all at once at the beginning ,,, some mount bicycles are hard,, if u notice that it took a big pedal strouk to pull it , so then just fine on ther bicycle,, u will notice the diferent that all bicycle are diferent ,, but take my advice bro,,, don't pop wheely on u motorcycle till u know how to do it on a bicycle .. I pop 100000 on my motorcycle ,,, and never hit the ground ,,, and I mean lonnggggg wheelys , changing gears and everything,,,, it was an addiction ,,,,,, al my friends ,,, I just to tell them,, don't pop it,,,, go try on a bicycle first,, they never listen,, well guest what,,, 15000&&& destroyed,,,, well my friend good luck,,, and have fun,, that's what wheely is all about ,,, and remeber,,,,,,,, always pop a wheely where it's safe,,, small streets where u can get a surprise are dangerous ... be always a step a head.. have fun.
Alright bro...I'll cut it with the power ones and try to get another bike. I want to learn but the smart way...and i feel like this is the smartest way. Thanks hopefully I'll be to the same level as you one day
+Fz06 Ridah ACC jajajjaj you will bro,,, just be smart,,,, cous if u drop it.... that will be the end of it ,,,,, we'll that's the case with allllllll beginners anyway,, have fun ,,,,,,, ,:)
+1Gsxrider clutch?! Dude clutching is for pussies who ride 250cc-600cc. 1000cc will do power wheelies even on 3rd. Don't even think to clutch on 1st gear on 1000cc
If you get a couple of mates to lift a stationary bike to balance you will be amazed how large the range is between falling forward/ backwards actually is. This is a very good way to gain confidence.
The way I started doing wheelies was on a dirt bike I grabed the clutch without realising it so I let it the whole thing go at once and the front wheel jumped up but instead of thinking oh im doing a wheelie I went THATS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THERE
The first time i tried a wheelie on my ZX-10R was when i was wearing a tshirt and shorts, that was probably at the same time my scariest and most fun moment of my life! After more practice with braking at the right timing, it isn't hard as it looked to be.
It's the only way to have smoother control and a modicum of safety while doing wheelies, controlling the wheelie by using only the throttle has a more abrupt(dangerous) reaction from the bike.
A medical centre is called a "Practise". But if you are repeatedly performing your wheelies to get better, that's called "practice". So by all mean PRACTICE so you don't get injured and visit someone's PRACTISE.
Hi Stuna101a, the rear brake used like this squats the entire bike, including the front - try it! That's also why using the rear brake in a corner can help tighten your line, it brings the front down to help it turn.
a lot of great tips - heres my bikes procedure for pulling a wheelie 1. Twist the throttle ok so there you go! If you want, shift through the gears and set the front end down around 120
i can do wheelies for a few hundred meters just punching through the gears... but i never learnt to cover the back brake. It'll probably get me one day.
Hi Dan, Thanks so much for your vid...Its quite clear and easy to understand. I'm running the YZF-R3 and don't know how many rpm or which gear should I begin to practise with? I guess it should be 1st gear with about 6k rpm? Any helps would be appreciated.
Great video! Unfortunately I am struggling with closing the throttle instead of using a rear break when I am reaching to the point where my brain is out of comfort. Any suggestions?
oh mighty !!!. I tought that Anthony of rev zila was fast talking. But you are much faster, and I did not catch any thing. FOR the first time wheelie. my arms must be relaxed, and the time to lift up the front wheel, I do not have to hold hard and force my arms upwards to help for wheelies? Thank you
Hey do you know how he manage to hold on to the bike while standing up when trying to pop the front wheel whitout the bike shooting forward below him? If been trying to learn to how to pop a stand up wheelie for so long. I just cant seams to hold on to the bike. I just have my body trown backwards so i have to imadiately close the gas... Pleaee help.. :(
Great vid, it really needs more views. Its well put together and hits a lot of the areas that i had questions. I watch it a few times a year. I havent done one correctly yet simply because of fear and i dont wanna scratch up my girl. Still waiting on the second part to this video when he addresses shifting
Ha, nice vid, well done. You guys from Down Under have a knack for wheelies! For folks wanting to wheelie BIG adventure bikes, Chris Birch (New Zealander) has a great YT vid for those, not that there s anything missing from this one, it’s just a different take and done in the dirt.
Is wheelieing harder to do on a bike than on a cycle? I got a mountainbike and i can easily do wheelies for miles. But people on sport bikes can most times not hold a real long wheelie.
Hi Sam just wonder with the rear brake technique, when do you release the brake? Do you release it simultaneously with the clutch? Great tutorial though!
gixxr88 Head to 4.13sec on the video mate, that bit probably demonstrates it best. But yes, rear brake compresses the fork, once it compresses, release the rear brake, open throttle and release clutch lever and up she comes!
Thanks for the good info and explanations. I just got a bigger bike so I want to do wheelies, but have been a little nervous. For me this was great ^_^
for what possible reason would there need to be a professional lesson on how to do a wheelie? Like i'm all for it, but what purpose does it serve beside show boating?
for me it's best to learn how to ride your bike in almost every possible way ... it just makes you that much better of a rider because you now now the limits of your bike at least that's how I look at it ...
yes Raymond you can do it. you might have to sit back a little furhter. My self I dont like clutch wheelies are unpredictable the clutch can be cold or hot which will a slip and grab type feeling. if the clutch grabs to hard and it could possible flip the bike on top of you
When you throttle on, do you release the rear brake simultaneously to opening the throttle or do you delay the release of the rear brake just enough to generate some RPMs?
How to stand up wheelie whitout having the bike shooting off forward underneath you? And being able to hold on and while controling your throtle? Thanks
Do small motorcycle (Small CC) applies equally like that ? whether there should be special treatment ? such as to replace the rear gears becomes larger, or standart just enough?
When you're doing it with the first, or maybe even second method. Once I pop the wheel up, should I keep the same amount of power to carry on as I did to pop it up, same rev? Or would you usually drop some power and try to feel it? And the balance point. Is it feel distinguished, I mean is it different in feel. Or should I guess where that point is? Thanks a lot.
How do ubteach somone to do wheelie on a pushbike? Thaere is no much to say about it rather always comes to practice practice and dont get scared yet over confident and u ll get there
Question. For first gear wheelies, what's the purpose of tapping the rear brake at the same time as rolling power down? Also, what's a good 'sense' of 'mid-range power'? I've got an SV650S, is that around halfway to the limiter?
Tapping the brake quickens and increases the forward shift in weight, providing enough force on the suspension to generate the bounce. You could probably do it just by rolling off the throttle sufficiently (however much that might be) but the throttle off/brake on combo is more effective.
very informative and accurate information on how to wheelie a four-stroke diesel for a two-stroke... just crack the throttle into the powerband and hold the f*#k on...
Step 1- Get a dirtbike. Step 2- park your fragile streetbike Step 3- Pop wheel up a lil bit. Step 4 - Learn to tap rear Brake when you get wheel up Step 5- Fuck around till you find balance point.
Karl Delrosario It will work mate - this video was shot using a 675. it's all about timing. Doing it uphill will help, too. I suggest trying the technique, then watching the video again - it will make more sense. Just build up slowly!
why is it important to keep the throttle on when coming back down from a wheelie? he said if not the front of your bike will look like a 50 cent piece.
Because of the impact at your fork (front springs). They don't like to have a freefall of 250KG weight. So give some power when almost at the ground to lift the bike up.
Depends heavily on weight and suspension IMHO .... an mx bike could care less how hard the front bangs down after abandoning a loft ...a big old pig of a street bike? BLANG!

This is the very first decent tutorial I've seen! Wheelie is an art, it connects man and machine even more!
I bought a new bike. My wife thinks it's for commuting, but it's really for wheelies.
oh yes, I had to make a will before I got permission under duress!!

just crack the throttle into the powerband and hold the f*#k on...
I own a 72cc bike, I wanted to know if I can wheelie the same way as he did ?
Do you dump the clutch or release slowly?
I learned to wheelie on a dirt bike for a few years before doing wheelies on a sport bike.
Step 1- Get a dirtbike. Step 2- park your fragile streetbike Step 3- Pop wheel up a lil bit. Step 4 - Learn to tap rear Brake when you get wheel up Step 5- Fuck around till you find balance point.
I've been out trying to wheelie my Prius, but darn, it just won't do it. Any suggestions?
Hey sam you think this would work on a 600cc bike? I have a cbr f4i and thought you can only get the front wheel in the air on a liter bike. Thanks!
Karl Delrosario It will work mate - this video was shot using a 675. it's all about timing. Doing it uphill will help, too. I suggest trying the technique, then watching the video again - it will make more sense. Just build up slowly!
What is the song name in the beggining?? 0.19 and then
why is it important to keep the throttle on when coming back down from a wheelie? he said if not the front of your bike will look like a 50 cent piece.
Because of the impact at your fork (front springs). They don't like to have a freefall of 250KG weight. So give some power when almost at the ground to lift the bike up.
ah gotcha, thanks
Depends heavily on weight and suspension IMHO .... an mx bike could care less how hard the front bangs down after abandoning a loft ...a big old pig of a street bike? BLANG!
