  • Finally the video that demonstrate the BMW S1000RR wheelie control. Please keep in mind this is not a video for people that are pro's and that knows how to wheelie... I have been searching on how to adjust all the settings in order to do a safe wheelie, but there is very few examples out there. So, I decided to do my own testing.
    Remember to be safe and wear your protective gear and always cover the rear brake as electronics can fail at any time.
    In this video you will see the different settings of the wheelie control and how it controls the front wheel lifting from the ground. You will clearly see how high it actually let the bike wheelie before the electronics bring the wheel down again.
    On the high wheelies possible setting, the bike will control the wheelie until the bike eventually runs out of revs before it will put the front wheel down. I'm still practicing changing to second gear while in the wheelie to see if the front wheel will stay in the air.
    You can actually look beter than what you are with the wheelie control. I am still scared that the bike will loop with me with the traction control or wheelie control completely off as I'm not used to getting the bike and keeping it on the ballance point.
    The wheelie control can be trusted as it is really controlling the front wheel from picking up too fast or too high.
    Please Like the video, share and subscribe if you would like to see more.
    I am always open to comments on improving so please do down below.

    As someone whos been riding this bike with wheelie control on 1 for the last year. MY GOD the quickness of the pickup with it on 0 is insane!

    • @user-en8in4fb5i
      @user-en8in4fb5i Před 19 dny

      Oh so it’s possible to do some proper wheelie with it set on 1 ? I have been riding mine for almost a year and I never activated wheelie control because I thought it would stop me from doing it.

    • @tannersmith8415
      @tannersmith8415 Před 19 dny +1

      @user-en8in4fb5i Yes it does! I have friends on pretty much all the major liter bikes (aprilia, kawasaki, yamaha, and suzuki) and the bmw is the only bike I've seen that'll actually let you ride it out. It depends on your throttle control, too much and it'll put it back down quickly. But if you modulate it well, I've been able to ride a wheelie up to 5th gear. The downside is that the max height you get (2 or 3 feet off the ground) is no where near what you'll get with it off so you'll be chasing it and pile on speed QUICKLY. I wouldn't call it a proper wheelie but it's a nice alternative to get the wheel up without the extra risk.

      @@tannersmith8415 Do you find 1 a nice compromise where it will wheelie when mashing the throttle but not too much where it cant put the power down at all like with it off?

    • @tannersmith8415
      @tannersmith8415 Před 2 dny

      @whitegoodman7465 Yes! Setting 1 is good for getting some power down but also being able to wheelie. I created another riding mode for track and roll racing acceleration that has the setting set to 2. Setting 2 sets the wheel down and doesn't allow it to hold through gears which is a nice medium where it doesn't suck all the power like 3 but doesn't hold the wheel up like 1. I beat a stretched/tuned/weight reduced/lowered zx10 so it'll get the power down for sure

      Not sure about that, but I think the bike's electronics are very clever in knowing when it is the front wheel that picks up and when it's the rear tire spinning.

  • @markmaker2488
    @markmaker2488 Před 4 měsíci +3

    Do your wheelies in second gear at 80-90kmh, it’s a lot safer and more controllable. Also try using your clutch instead of doing power wheelie’s, clutching up brings the front wheel up a lot slower and smoother than just whacking open the throttle. The trick is to rev up the engine the same as if your going to gear down but leave it in the same gear, the front wheel will come up nice and easy compared to power wheelies.

    • @racermac1081

      @@racermac1081 you should definitely be able to wheelie that beast in second gear. You need to be cruising at around 7000-8000 rpm in second gear, clutch in then quick rev up to around 10-12000 and quickly let the clutch out. (Like you would when changing down to rev match) Keep your foot over rear brake just in case she comes up too quickly, (which it probably won’t in second, unless you redline it).

      It's true, I'm not a pro, but the wheelie control helps to make it look like that... lol. I've noticed that when you adjust the TC on the dash from 0 to -2 or -3 the front wheel will pick up higher and can then even change to 2nd gear and it will still wheelie for a while. You can control your wheelie hight with the TC. Practice makes perfect.

    It's all about DTC interference bro. Even on wheelie control 1 mode, the DTC interferes alott. It's just that sometimes it interferes quickly and sometimes too late that the rider get scared. DTC -7 will interfere late and +7 interferes as quickly as possible. I ride with DTC completely off which also disables the wheelie control. Ride safe ✌🏻️ 💯
