Respect for wheelies in the countryside where there isn't a ton of traffic! 👌🏻
2 blown fork seals and no back break. I have been having fun
And always keep ya back break covered 👌 😂
You mean *brake?
And by covered you mean put your foot over it and be ready to use it?
Use proper English bro you're confusing newbies.

Easily the best explanation about how to wheelie the thing about learning how much power your bike outputs at what revs was very helpful
I'm working on learning on my 250 and this is definitely one of the better explanations I've seen
First tutorial video i didnt remember till i started watching...thanks for the wizdom that refreshed subconciously when i was practicing my wheelies.
Big props from australia ,👍🧞♂️
Nice video Good job explaining the differences in the way the bike reacts depending on the RPM and gear selection. Also the differences in size of rider and bike. Good job 👍👏
I haven't smiled so much watching a CZcams vid in ages! Woooohooooo!
I drift right too. Started sliding my but to the left side of the seat when I set up and it's been helping me. Keep getting after it!
Wow that stand up wheelie was so smooth
Nice vid.
Nice explaining.
Relaxed and chill.
Like a pro
Respect
Pretty good explanation video man. Good job.
Best video I’ve found for this. Thank you man. Now time to practice
you got it ! Let me know how they go
You make it look so easy 🤙🏻
Distracted by the fire lighting in this video 😍
Getting my 02 FZS 600 has been awesome for those mid throttle power ups and wheel-ups between gears
Those roads look incredible, I gotta move to Kansas!
They look good for drag racing, not too fun for riding.
Don’t get close to MO 90% of the roads here are shit.
Kansas the state? HELL NAH!!
Sunset and wheelies 👏🏼
I’m over here struggling on my grom. 🤣 🤦🏻♀️
Great video man good tips! 👍👍
Glad you liked it! Appreciate you watching
just started clutch ups the last week on my zx6r. My sunday plan was to go mess around with them. Just starting in first and getting the hang of flicking the clutch out and getting the front wheel about 2 feet off the ground. I think Im going to air out the back tire a little bit while learning because when i started riding it out, it got a little squirley. Seemed a lot smoother to clutch up in second but just not comfortable doing them at the speed needed in 2nd yet because you have to rev it so much higher. Thanks for the tips bro bro. Also, the fork seal I was hoping i fixed with a cheap seal-mate started leaking a little as soon as i started getting the front end up. At least its the end of the season and leaves a winter project to replace them
Try it going up a long hill if you can @ first, that helps.
comfortability is key. nothing to it but to do it. if youve never wheelied before try a small cc dirtbike (110-150) and pop the clutch 1 gear standing still and just let the front end pop up and get comfortable with the motion. i started on a ninja 400 doing street wheelies now have begun practicing on my latest bike a 1000.
great tips! Let me know how it goes on the new bike. Happy Holidays!
Im a car mechanic but check for alignment if you didnt find it yet or check for weight mods on the bike like exhaust etc it can affect weight balance.
Mad video bro smooth calm and collected 🎉👍
Aye glad you enjoyed my boy!
I have trouble not doing power ups 1st-3rd if I get into it hard 🤣 and it’s an old 99 F4, big bore kit and -1,+2 sprockets lol
Loved watching this video though!! Props to you for taking the time to make this bro! 👊🏼
Just got an XSR9 last night and when I took off I didn’t realize it was in B-mode(I’m one of those ppl that’s hands on). So the whole time I’m thinking “this ain’t as bad as everybody says of this bike being all torque”. I finally got over the excitement and noticed a (B)…hmm..so yea A-mode. Everything I heard was true those machines are made to wheelie
I got no rear break, KC. I keep my wheelies at power Chase level. But stoppies I can do easy.
Stay safe 👍👏
Great video man, I was thinking of starting to learn it too but I want to save my zx6r from my mistakes and I was thinking of buying an old and cheap bike to do my homework on it, and than after I get the hang of it to start trying it on my zx6r. What do u think?
Nice and clear video. What settings do you use on the gopro?
Dont forget to implicate that rear break to bring that front tire down my guy, big tip there. One clutch popper to another. Rear break rear break rear break. Throttle control and rear break is tricks to a perfect wheels up. Just everyone ride safe and within your limits.
I tell everybody they should clutch up every wheelie every time no matter what bike they are on. It may seem scary at first but by clutching them you can control how quick they come up to balance point. In my opinion it's way safer than chasing a power wheelie. I also tell everybody that if they feel like they are gonna loop out, in most cases they aren't even close.
I think the best way to describe how to clutch up is to basically rev the engine up with the clutch in like your going to shift down a gear but don’t shift down.
Like rev matching well newer bikes got auto blip but my srad etc so you mean like rev matching?
@@southafricanwithaphone4657 yeah, that’s it. It’s like rev matching but without changing gears, i.e stay in the same gear.
I would say clutch ups are the best way to learn and get comfortable with bringing it up.
I have that issue of going right as well, I have a 2013 S1000rr
Could be the rotation of the earth at play😂
@@user-ig7zn5nl3c Dang it I never even thought of that possibility…..
Im in kc too. Thinking about getting a bike and like ur vids
Best advice" learn on a dirt bike off road 😮
My ZH2 is boosted so I really haven’t messed with TRC but I’m learning Balance Point on my Grom hopefully soon I’ll grow some nuts and put that thang in rider mode
Good video!!! Which mode you use for wheelies? TC and ABS off?
I landed my first wheelie last friday, it lasted for about 3 seconds with smooth landing, but i kinda guess it's just hard to lift that one up.
I've been googling a bit, and people do say "yeah, it's lots easier to wheelie any sport bike, than 80hp tour bike".
Guess just gunna try harder :)
Thank you!
All I heard was Kansas mann...
My boy's are taking Superbowl Sunday 😁
💥💥 9ER GANG
The roads are crowned in the middle, especially in the south for water drainage. My bike will tend to go right on one tire because it’s trying to go downhill from the crown in the road. (The Brits’ bikes probably tend to go left because of driving on the opposite lane)
Yoo I had exactly the same issue with my ’07 R1. I wheelied it A LOT and always i had to fight the bike turning to the right. I let other people ride it and they didnt have the same problem so i started thinking that there maybe is something wrong with my position on the bike, but when i tried wheelie’ing other bikes like ’13 R1 or S1000RR the problem didn’t occur and the bikes went perfectly straight. If you discover the source of the problem I’d really appreciate some info because i have no clue what could’ve been the reason.And by the way, i just discovered your channel and i love your energy and positive vibe, keep up the good work my man 💪
Yeah its so weird huh. Welcome to the channel man! Glad you enjoyed the video, stay tuned for more coming.
What mode are you running when clutching up verses power up? I’m going from Busa to S1K with user modes. Have coding plug installed and not sure 0 to -7 on the DTC helps wheeling.
I read the title to this video and LAUGHED MY ASS OFF!!!! :D
Thanx mate ❤
Thx u good info
Nice wheelie! John P.
fire 🔥🔥🔥
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for tuning in
Thanks man ❤🏍💨😤
absolutely! Thanks for tuning in
Heyyy thats my favorite road and where I use to do wheelies lol
The curving to the right is probably just the engineered slope in the road pushing you like it pushes
Rain water.
Hi. Its standard on s1000r and s1000rr. Its the clutch cable....
Hey bro i recently bought,myself a 2018 s1000rr and was wondering where you got your headlights from ?
Great video.
You make it look very easy.
I'm a bit nervous with my bike.
I'm struggling with my 2016 NC750X.
I rev it up between 5000 and 6000rpm. It red lines on 7000rpm.
It pops up a little.
Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.
Just started doing "power ups" in first gear on my 650 after 20k miles of riding. The feeling when the wheel comes up is amazing and I have been wanting to learn clutch ups but it feels like a mental block im scared to do it for some reason. Everyone says clutch up is easier and safer
It is 100% a mental thing. Keep practicing! That 650 isn't the greatest for wheelies (that was my first bike) but you will be ready for long wheelies when you upgrade if you do get it down before then.
Start 2 nd gear power up, when comfortable start clutch up. I’d yo have balls to do 1st power up then you can start couching up in 2nd
Been riding 11 years
I been doing power wheelies in 1st on a 636
Just got a 23 r7 clutch up in 2nd feels extremely safe
Just focus on getting the front tire off the ground and go from there.
This video is great advice fr fr
I have the same issue with my 15 s1k favoring the right side when i sit down wheelie. 🏍️
I've done accidental power ups in 2nd a few times. Just taking off fast from the lights. Want to learn clutch ups and stand ups so bad
When you're standing up during the wheelie, how do you have your foot over the rear brake? Seems like the ankle angle would be very harsh when trying to not press it.
You have a vid installing those headlights?
I got the same 2018 s1000rr. How about I switch the traction to -5 and try ? I tried back in 2019 it worked but it’s been so long since I tried wheelie
Definitely should not start on a big bike. Good way to get hurt. I started on a liter bike and was terrified. Got a small 110 pit bike and my progression has improved tenfold. Better to build that confidence on a small bike and work your way up.
Catless 750 gets a nooner pretty easily. I need to rebuild my rear brake.
i have s1k 2017, so basicly same but year older. if i accelerate hard the bike wants me to be on the left side more. i've been thinkin' same thing.
How is the maintenance on that model? Have you had any problems with it?
hey can you teach on how to maintain the wheelie?
Ay bro quick question:
I have the new RR and I could turn traction control off but also all the way down to the lowest amount of traction control
Would that be fine if I keep it on for wheelies? Or is it just better for to have it off for powerwheelies AND clutchups?
Its always better to have it fully off but if you are leaving it at the lowest settings you should be okay.
Do you let go of the clutch smoothly and fast while reved up high or instant? Thats what many wheelie instructors fail to mention.
What speed should we be going to learn the baby clutch ups?
Okay but what sort of affect should I use?!? Is it similar to a flat affect or no?
Sir honestly, when you were just beginning to do wheelies, did you ever crash? Thanks in advance for responding 👍
11:22 my R1M always drifts to the right on sit downs too 🤷...
I probably rode more than i drove at this point im 37 it took me years to get over letting the clutch out 😅😅😅 fuck wheelies used to be terrifying
I want to try these but i don’t want to mess up my bike. I should buy like a cheap used Grom to practice on.
🔥👌
My number one rule is always cover your rear brake. I’ve never looped a bike that way and I’ve rode a lot of wheelies
THIS!
Do you recommend shorty levers for clutch ups? Or is it a preference thing?
preference for sure, I don't like super short levers like the eBay ones, but I do prefer shorter than factory. Sorry for the late response.
I got the same bike but the wheelie mode won’t let me pop it up for a power wheelie how do I turn that off
Do you back off the throttle just before letting the clutch back out?
Clutch in
Throttle up (hold revs)
Clutch out
Or is it ..
Clutch in
Throttle up (back off a little)
Clutch out
What's clutch lever is that it looks angled
ik how to power wheelie i can power wheelie all day with ease but i still don’t understand the back brake aspect i can get to balance point in my power wheelie for like 1-2 seconds that it i wanna clutch up so i can stay in the air longer but again are you even touching the back brake when u wheelie i cant tell at all
no rear brake for me at this moment in time lol definitely worth getting good at holding them with no brakes unless you are feeling really uncomfortable about pulling it up farther
I’m getting my first bike soon GSXR 750 or maybe 1000
Bruh
I ve got mine z750 kawasaki naked as first bike 10 months now.. respect it and ride always when your mind is focused and you will be fine.
I learned on a dirtbike with a abs wheelie bar on it
Not going to lie, I don’t have a bike 😔 but I’m trying to look for my first one! I’m thinking about a Kawasaki 600 or 650cc or maybe a Yamaha. I would love to have one like yours though
I have no doubt you will have a bike just like mine one day! Hard work makes anything possible. Thanks for tuning into the video.
@@FastFlowKC thanks a ton man, it means a lot!
Are you outta kc?
I think the most important thing is rocking back so your back tire doesn't just spin on you
your back tire should never spin unless the conditions of the road or your tire sucks.
Idk I got q5 on my r1 and if I am not putting a little weight to the back the back tire just wants to spin. If I rock back when I pop it up it just feels easier to catch my wheelie in that sweet spot where you can just keep your throttle in one spot instead of trying to chase it up.
@@char.s1ksmashing444 Yeah that sounds like cold tires, cold roads, or not the best tires, or not the best roads, or giving it way to much throttle. For sure one of those things, it should not be spinning unless under one of those conditions.
Once the wheel is up, how do you lower the wheel down safely? Are you using the rear brake or the front break to lower the bike? And what about the throttle as you lower the bike?
Back of the throttle slightly.
If you ask this question, I think you should get a bit more experience before attempting wheelies.
Front brake will not help since the front wheel is not on the ground, so please stay away from the front brake.
Cover the rear brake in case of emergency.
@@janvanwyk8986 thank you. Yes, I'm a new rider.
I have a k8 gsxr1000.. I'm about to go try my first wheelie this weekend. 2nd gear 45 to 5k rmp clutch up right?
every bike is different but idealy yes you can start a little lower just to get a feel, but clutch ups always are my go to
I'm just afraid of wrecking/damaging my bike. I went to go try it but I aint gon lie bro I was scared haha. Did u drop ur bike ur first time trying?
Pulls to the right because all roads are peaked in the middle for rain runoff and it's just not as easy to steer wheels up in a sitting position.
how often are you replacing the clutch plates, or do you find they wear out any faster?
never and almost 30k miles with wheelies every ride
@@FastFlowKC thanks man, appreciate it
You should go ride 1290 SUPERDUKE R 😂 I own a 2021 an had it flashed sooooo 119RW TORQUE an 186hp to the rear all it wants to do is live on the rear tire WHEELIES TO THE MOON!!!!
🤘😆🤘
My problem is with liter bikes is the weight. I have done wheelies on husqvarna 701 and even a heavier drz but they comes up at a decent rate vs liter bike doesnt seem to want to unless you give it a ridiculous amount of rpms that feels super sketchy and violent versus other bikes.
Do you have to pull in the clutch all the way? I find that if I use 2 fingers the lever mashed against my other fingers
No, past the point of disengagement it makes no difference if you pull it in more, so you'd just be wasting your energy
change stock exhaust might help the balance for 18 s1000rr（full system better）
bruh you have one of those bikes that are easy to lift xD Try on my 1999 kawa w650, it's a whole different level lol (a bit of a low bike, low rpm, not that huge on torque either,
My fear isn’t lapping the bike, but getting the death wobbles after u come down. My Ninja 400 was super easy to power up in 1st but I never got past that
Are you pulling the clutch in, then letting it go and hitting throttle at the same time?
Yes, all in a very quick motion all together
I can pop mine up pretty high but I can never seem to hold it. I’m twisting my wrist and then rolling off (not completely) the throttle and it just instantly drops. Should I roll on and stay where I rolled to instead of rolling slightly off after dumping the clutch?
You have to stay on the throttle, I had the same issue as you for years until 2 weeks ago lol
@@uthantdillon3896 ive seen videos where people will do clutch, roll on throttle, clutch, and then let off on the throttle and it goes up. I’ll definitely stick to staying on the throttle though haha. Thank you bro
@@Schizo_Squid they're letting off because they getting the bike up higher faster when clutching up. If you do a baby clutch ups in 2nd and stay on the gas (depending on your bike you're) it will start to gain more height. Just make sure you squeeze the tank with your knees and cover the rear brake everytime just in case you go back too far back. And get used to using the rear brake to set the bike down too. When you're clutching up it's literally the same motion as when you're rev matching just without shifting if that makes sense.
I blew my fork seals from doing so many wheelies but who cares. money does buy happiness. Also I know groms will blow up if you do long enough wheelies, can this happen on big bikes too?
