-Startposition: STOP
- first gear give less power (normal start) upon 4-4.500rpm
- close throttle complete and push at the same moment the weight of your
body onto the handlebars to become the front forks pushed down
- know when the front forks are down, pull on the handlebars to get the
forks up as much as possible and open at the same time throttle near max (be
careful, don't open it full at your first tries)
- the sitting position should know be a little bit closer to the bikes end
as normally
- the bike should start rising up at the front end, control it with the
throttle
- switch to second gear without clutch when you reach about 6-7.000 rpm
(don't forget to close the gas a little bit, or you will sit with your ass
on the street)
- same like before, when you reach 6-7.000 rpm switch into third gear (don't
try this at the beginning, do it when you have enough expieriences)this is a
little bit difficult, I myself was only a few times able to drive wheelies
in third gear.
Good luck (and a good chain) and have a nice weekend
mit freundlichen Gruessen/ kind regards

Hi all Wheelies, and others who are more like me.
Theres been a lot of talk about wheeling on this list lately.
I'm maybee a little to afraid that the bike will turn over while wheeling;
I've only done it once, by misstake ;-)
So, please: Teach me how to do this in a rather safe way.
What speed, revs, balancepoint etc are we talking about?
regards Richard
