Subject: @'s do do wheelies
Hi All,
In response to the post about popping a wheelie on the @
I have no troubles popping mine on the back wheel and I can travel pretty
far. My trouble is changing into second on the back wheel, I haven't
mastered that yet!
The method I use is;
1. Hold bike at 5000-6000rpm with clutch in (rolling very slowly or stopped)
2. Let clutch out quickly and smoothly to 'grab point'
3. After grab point is reached let clutch out all the way, simultaneously
giving more throttle.
4. Keep foot on back brake, as this will pull you down if you go to high.
(you dont want to do a Max Biaggi)
I know this is not the most desirable way to do it as it loads the clutch
up alot. It is my feeling that getting it to the grab point before
releasing it suddenly all the way is the key to looking after it. Mine has
given me no trouble.
Regards,
Michael
