    Re: Learn to wheelie (2015)

    Problem with two strokes is they teach you to chop the throttle. Something that if you carry over into a sportbike will create for a very very bad day.

    What you want to learn is throttle control and brake control. First thing first to gain comfort in using the clutch to bring it up.

    This helps control the power in the wheelie and how fast it comes up. You can do power wheelies but it will kill most of your power before you hit balance point.

    You will be surprise how far back balance is. For safety you want to learn that rear brake. It will save you money in the long run.

    Once you start riding out some wheelies get used to bringing them down with the brake. Be prepared to replace some fork seals.

    Once you get used to bringing the wheelie down with the brake it will become muscle memory and will help save you for when a wheelie gets uncomfortable.

    Keep it simple and at your own pace for safety and cost of replacing parts.

    Step one. Clutch with very smooth throttle. Step two learn rear brake. Step three enjoy yourself. Lol.
