that aint gonna happen for him just yet if he can't get it more than three inches in first & if it does the wheel will come up fast and he's not used the wheel in the air!

The wheel only comes up fast for the first bit say 1m off the ground then its very slow whereas with a power wheelie its much easier to backflip as it gains power.  but yea you are probably rignt he needs to get the wheel a bit higher first

I hear what your saying truescot.

i hear so many different views on learning wheelies.

[Fat Tony]

then shit yourself drop the throttle and bury the front wheel into the road and crush your nuts on the tank. Swear you are never going to do it again, get 2 miles down the road and repeat from step 1.

P.S. dont blame me if the last thing you remember seeing is your pride and joy cartwheeling down the road.  

Agreed

well mate if your every around wokingham or bracknell give me a shout ?i'll teach ya no worries ? but stay away from the 1st gears i learnt the hard way and flipped my old fireblade  was doing 70,to 80 ish when it happend  made a right mess ? so 2n'd or 3rd is the way   

[Nick Zx10]

Jesus... Henas... fook that for laugh.

Just out of interest was you trying to keep the balance point or as it came up it flipped? & were you new to them at the time?

[Henas]

well i was learning i flicked it up and it came up very quick and just went too far over? and i eneded up on my arse as the bike jumped over me then deceded to piroette behind me and chase me down the road.Ended up rested by a telephone post

but if you ask the guys off here that was about 6,7 yrs ago now i'm the wheelie king stand ups even got glens zx10 to a whopping 154 mph so i think i got them pretty much sorted now can even get them round a slight bend too

[Nick Zx10]

I have no doubt about your wheelie abilities.. I just wondered. 

154mph mph wooowza 

[Henas]

bladeblaster: Its like going to an A A meeting in a pub 

[arek PL]

im fooocking crap
tried few times today and just lifted it up tiny tiny bit
im such a wuss
just dont know how to do that
on 2nd gear, 60 miles, about 6-7 k revs, and.....
have no balls 

[Henas]

just got back in from smashing around bracknell?

no no mate i lift mine 40/50 ish pop the clutch not agressive  just roll the throttle as the engine starts to whine up ping the clutch and she'll pop up and then you ease the throttle off when you get it to the piont you think its high enough(normally the balancing point is higher than you expect) and then roll it on then once she's settled either stand up or knock it into 3rd

thanks to Truescot I am back to doing stoppies now as well Fer Fooks Sake 

Go on - stoppie technique ... ?

I appriciate that it's probably just **** BREAKS !!! **** - but is there more to it ?

Only ever done two - both by accident - or rather to avoid an accident
