Technique for wheelies on KX500:
1st gear: open throttle, lean back slightly
2nd gear: open throttle, lean back slightly
3rd gear: open throttle, lean back slightly
4th gear: open throttle, lean back slightly
5th gear: open throttle, lean back slightly
Manuel Musser theres 5
@@JRC0304 My KX500 had 5 gears and I could wheelie in every gear
hahahah simple enough
Don’t even lean back, the power will do that for you😏
Even easier, open throttle... Wheelie up!
I think you forgot the one and only, it's fear.

I just gotten to the point of dank mini wheelies, it is less scary than I expected. I haven't gotten to balance point yet. That will probably be the scary part. I will be able to do it some day 💯🔥 probably...🙄
@@mirthevanzwol7601 can you wheelie yet?
@@brytodunsm5713 I haven't got any further than mini wheelies. I stopped training. Mostly because I don't have a good place to train where there are no Karen's. And I don't ride that much either. If the weather is bad I don't enjoy riding as much.. So basically no progress :/
Boning up on my wheelie mistakes so I can figure out how all these people keep crashing. Thanks for the info brah!
These vids plus seat time are the keys to being a great rider. Keep up the great work!
I think u guys helped me a lot with these vids on my wheelies! Thank you! I did learn i guess wrong tho lol instead of learning the rear brake first I learned it after I could wheelie lol barely learning it now and ya but if I learned it first I wouldn’t have crashed my bike like I did in my wheelie video!😂😂😂
Thank you man. Out of all the videos, this one makes the most sense.
Started practicing today, mini wheelies atm , happy days thanks guys 👍
Thanks for the videos man. I quit riding for about 10 years and all of this stuff is helping me a lot. Thanks guys!
This helps so much I am starting to learn how to wheelie and this is just mind blowing. Thx guys.
Braaap! Practicing the rear brake thing is what I need. HATE slamming the front down though. Never looped it.
Best video on how to wheelies I’ve seen so far thanks 🙏 - Amy
Thanks for showing! You are great driver!
Had fun at y’alls camp thanks for putting it together
Thanks brO!! I really needed this with wheeling a super sport 1000cc bike 🤦♂️
This really helped me, thank you.
You are you the man bro these techniques really helped thanks for ya time and skill and making this vid
well i guess i have to give the rear break a try. i learned how to wheelie without rear break, i allways just used the engine break and for me it works. but ok, i had to run behind the bike a view times, but never jumped of or crashed. nice videos. love them :-)
Great video. Very good explanation. Thanks.
good and clear
These videos have helped me a ton, thanks from the UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thanks for watching!
Awesome info
i love your videos bro
watching here from philippines
Very helpful, thanks.
Dang this dude knows his way around a wheelie! Up and over hills, very impressive
Just subscribed, I used to live next door when the mx factory was just being built in the bend. Badass place u have I'd like to come ride sometime!
Great video.
Technique for wheelies on a CRF450R. Any gear , any amount of throttle, lean forward to avoid backflips.

This helped a lot!!! Thanks boys 🤙 🤙 🤙
I’m getting my second dirt bike soon and I was 8 on my first so I didn’t know much and this vid helped
I learned on my paps 400 ex quad. Used to have to bounce on the rear and pop the clutch to get it up
Ur a good teacher
Awesome lmao I was to far forward on my seat I figured it out yesterday and now I see this today 😂😂😂
Good video
My friend fractured his back yesterday, a day late on this video 😂😂
Lol damn
That sucks.....is he Mike Tyson by any chance?
@@-JohnSmith- thpinal
That’s not good
@Photography Artist clearly not his back is fucked lol
number 6: whiskey throttle
that is clutch control basically
Grin Beatz not really
I learned that quick that’s why my finger always covering the clutch
That crap is scary
Chase E same
I have never used rear brake, I use the clutch to control mine n use feel n love 2nd gear wheelies to start then third!
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, the best channel I found on the internet Congratulations 🔄⭐🇧🇷🔝 Could you teach a 250x wheelie cram tip?
Love Ds videos
i havent tried wheelieing yet ? but should i rewatch your videos to help me memorize
Nice one👌👌👌
DaLeee👌👌👌
Awesome!
Tyler you should make a video about shifting during wheelies and accelerating/decelerating
Easton Lewis that’s easy
Lance Kippenbrock not to every body my guy. Not everyone is born a fucking god.
@@lancekippenbrock5307 yeah man you gotta learn somewhere
Easton Lewis I caught on super quick with shifting during a wheelie just stay on the gas and shift up
@@lancekippenbrock5307 you re on a quad dog
love the vids!!!!
Thanks!
i was self taught i owned a 3 wheeler honda 200x and when i brought the front wheel up it would not flip all the way over because the bar behind the seat would drag and keep you in a constant wheele over time i got full control of useing back brake and now many years later on all my bikes cr250,xl600 crf250 even my trail50 i have never flip any of my bikes.
get to know rear brake control get that down and wheeles for miles
I click the 👍🏾
also 🛎
💯‼️💯‼️💯
I own a yz85 and the way I learned how to wheelie is by going in first gear and hitting the powerband and and bring it up and then shifting into 2 and keep on going from there and maybe shift into 3 it’s been the best way for me because I can’t get the bike up by using the clutch because yz85 don’t have much Bottom end powerband and I sit all the back in the seat and it still don’t work so any one that owns a yz85 this is what I learned was the easiest for me
Simple but true
You are de best💪💪💪
This was better than your how to wheelie video!
Thx mate for the clip
Grts from belguim
Thanks for watching!
i love riding dirtbikes bro
Muito obrigado por compartilhar os conhecimentos 🔄⭐🇧🇷🔝 poderia ensinar dica empinar wheelie 250x?
Hi mate, thank for share your video how to do the wheelie, i have try so many times but its failed. but i need your help how to get the swing arm for KTM 250 cc if an the second hand
May want to go easy slamming your front end down to hard, your front shocks seals will need replacing quickly:) I used to ride alot of 2 strokes, 2,3rd gears we just hammer on it a lil bit let off n when you hit your gas again you're up n gone. I know you can dump your clutch, just found that to be extremely hard to control. But good thoughts and recommendations.
This is the good method
G'Day MX Factory from Australia. My son and I love your vids thanks. :) My issue with slow wheelies is that i fall to the side. I don't have an issue keeping the balance point, but have to bring the front down very quickly otherwise i'll end up on my side on the ground. I've heard that you need to balance with your hips (or something like that). This isn't so much of an issue if I'm going faster, but i don't have a lot of room for that where I ride. If you're able to make a vid explaining side to side balance while wheeling that'd be awesome. Thanks guys and keep up the good work. :)
Thanks for watching Ben! We love when dads and sons can learn together. Fortunately we already have a video on the side to side control, watch it and let us know if you have any other questions 👍🏼 How to Wheelie - Improve Side to Side Balance Control on a Dirt Bike!!! czcams.com/video/aoAO2b2b6fc/video.html
@@TheMxFactory Thanks guys, I've watched that and started practicing what you're teaching.
I don’t even have a dirt bike but CZcams recommended me this and I do not regret clicking on it
Thank you youtube! And thank you for watching 👍🏼
Best mx channel on CZcams. Actually surprised you guys only have 100k subs. Watch your videos everyday they’re awesome 🤙🏼🤙🏼 c’mon guys let’s get this channel growing.
Thanks for your support!! Any recommendation of a video that you’d like to see?
I’ll have a think and get back to you guys, I do have a question though with regards to wheelying. do you always use the clutch up technique or do you alter from power wheelying too? And which would you say is better and why? Obviously the bigger engine in the bike the easier it is to do a power wheely but in general which would you choose?
I also have trouble with cornering as well. Not sure where to sit depending on the corner if should weight the front or rear tyre. So maybe a video on cornering mistakes?
Great video bro. I wish I watched this before I went out and crashed learning how to do wheelies. Had 4 surgeries on my leg already and metal plates inserted. Cant walk for 6 months. Not fun. That's #bikelife for you haha
We’ve all been there, sucks but just part of the game! We hope your recovery goes way better than you expect!
Yeah thx your channel is too underated it should have more subs i am subbed and have notifacations on like you guys taught me how to
Scrub
Whip
Jump
Brake tap
Corners
Wheelie
Send it dude keep up the good vids
Good job Bas glass 😂👌🏼
I was taught to let your legs dangle to steady yourself in case the bike starts to go over. WRONG! Lol. The rear brake technique just makes more sense. No wonder I kept wiping out! Thanks for the tips brother.
On a slide uphill for the beginning is Ok to have the legs tangle. You find tutorials they show that. Next step of course is rearbreak kontrol. But everybody has to find his way. I am still working on it and not that good I aim on. Slow wheely is such a nice skill.
I don’t have a bike anymore but I never had to pop the clutch or try very hard at all to get the front wheel on my crf250r to come up in top gear and then just ride out as long as I wanted , also never seemed to need to touch the breaks to stay in the balance point. I suppose this might be more difficult at lower speeds
Thank you for the help good vid. Also is thare a way to get a mx factory sticker.
I started riding wheelies on a 1979 xr185, could wheelie through all six gears... yes I said six . I've got a 82 xr500 , and a 2013 xr650.. I'm 55 and still riding wheelies. I love dirt bikes I hope I'm riding when I'm 80. Good luck younger guys keep on riding.
What gear you start sir? You are my idol
You're a monster. Id love to cut it up with you and learn more.
You are the best
I thought he would weld something with those sunglasses... Thanks for the tips by the way!
Leandro Brocco Roger on the glasses!
I love your jersey bro
Haha so true bro I always tell people what ever u do keep your feet on the pegs when tht bike come up
Nice
I think the most common mistake is when people lean there heads way forward when doing the wheelie
Yeah I'm really having trouble with that tbh
Danger Dan Adv why you must be a noob lol
Danger Dan i usually tell people to keep their arms straight when wheelying
Lance Kippenbrock why is that always an issue? You use to be a noob too asshole grow up.
Hey um I was wondering is it possible to use the clutch instead of the rear break because I am thinking of getting a dirt bike but I don’t quite trust the rear brake yet from past experiences.
Great
Man my 98 yz 125 doesn’t seam to have the power to pull up. It’s totally been rebuilt with big bore kit new header, chain, sprockets. I don’t understand. Iv sunk a lot of my savings to build this bike. Maybe airflow adjustment? Need help. Sinking fast! Thanks great content!
wheelie 😎 peanuts for me Cr 500 2 stroke 4 stroke or macco 650 ... high speed slow speed 85 to 90 degree no problem
I’ve got a yzf450 and here’s how I wheelie in all gears
1st: 1/2 throttle
2nd: 1/2 throttle
3rd: 3/4 throttle lean back slightly
4th: slow down and Franck throttle no leaning or clutch work
5th: sit as far back as possible pin the throttle
Power everywhere
Moto -2TEN
Yeah I get that and ive owned many MX's. There's nothing like a YZ250 or KTM250/300. Ive had a yzf450 and it was a really good bike obviously. But It definitely made trail riding a lot easier with the tractor like torque, you can be lazy basically. Between the overall weight and center of gravity being higher i guess, i just cant get the same fun out of riding say a yzf250/450 as i do with a good 2 stroke...
Even a YZ125 is a fun bike to ride hard. Im 200lbs and that bike has plenty of power for any hill or jump, if rode right. There's just something really fun about that.
Anyways back to your point, yeah yzf450 is a wheelie machine lol
"... Pretty obvious to use your front break" haha as a beginner I have had a lot of compliments on that one. My guys are fast! So control of your front and backs is a talent tho and experience is priceless! Love it 💙💙💙🙌🙌🙌 I know you're so much older now, come to High Point again tho
Previous video I was talking about my bad man!
i have a crf 450 and to wheelie u have to do a rolling start or it wall stall any tips on how to prevent this?
I have a KTM exc 450 in start getting better but i practice in second Gear first feel so sketchy. But is IT better to do in first ?
I remember first time trying to wheelie
Like A boss my feet always came
Off the peg
Question... when u start in a low gear going slow and u don’t want to restart to wheelie faster, can u switch gears while doing a wheelie
Can u maybe explain how to get the Nike op with clutch, and i have a quastion do you need to use the clutch when u hit the rear Brake or Can u hit it without tje clutch?
Super helpful thanks
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching 👍🏼
I forgot to use my rear brake. Took my feet off the pegs and sprained my knee. I was on crutches for a week. Lesson learned.
Kx 450 F picks up on 5th gear for me or should i say 6th gear becuse my 1st gear is like 2nd and 2nd is like 3rd
Can you do a how to wheelie a razor dirt bike please🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
My problem is just dropping my feet, my bodys gyro says hard pass on the werlies and i sorta panic and get sorta bummed and stop trying. I havent dropped my bike yet so that may be part of the fear is not knowing what crashing is like. Id say if i lay it down slowly trying to wheelie and its not bad id be a little more comfortable knowing its not the end of the world if i put er down on a slow wheelie.
Get some elbow and knee protection I wrecked my dirtbike yesterday and have really bad road rash on my elbow and knee and I wasn't going really fast I wish I would of been wearing more than a helmet and gloves this shit hurts like crazy
@@ryryboyle6126 hope you have a speedy recovery bud. I know what rash and burns feel like, i got 3rd degree on my forearm and 2nd degree on my left kneecap. My forearm has scarred with burnt tissue under the skin still yet.
Sir, what is the exact rare & front spracket in order that you can easily wheelie. Thanks
Been doing wheelies since 1972, started on 2 stroke motocross and Honda 750 k2, Z900 and Huyabusa, Blackbirds etc. and not once ever used the rear brake. Good as a safety net and mega slow wheelies I guess, but where is the skill in that?. Can still wheelie up to around 160kph at 60 years old and still get the same buzz. Good vid and advice though, don't forget throttle control, balance and timing and endless hours of practice til you crack it.
I have a question you might not answer but plzz I want to learn how to wheelie a crf250l and the tiers are like street tires but I don’t want to learn in the street I want to learn in the grass do you have any suggest we’re I can learn instead of strret
