Well... call me a :squid: if you must... but just trying to get the basic idea of doin a wheelie... not a 89 mile an hour highway wheelie, more of just a 1st gear power up... slipping the clutch to me just seems to easy to slip a little too much and go all the way over.
I tried to do a power wheelie today, sat in 1st on 8k rpm , then let off to about 6 and nailed it again. nothin, i felt the kick for sure, but wheel didnt move, Should i be pulling up? im 6' tall 260 lbs. I tell you, it was scary as hell when i gave it a twist, it was that feeling where you think your going to lose the bike for a second, everything tenses up.
So any suggestions? I also tried to kick it into second and slip the clutch, but as i said, im a little scared doing that, so i only did it once... I had done it once before by accident, and i didnt know the front lifted until i felt it hit again and start to wobble
good vid.. show you how to power wheelie, then drop clutch... then for giggles he does a 2 mile wheelie on a fazer 1000 (6:00 in)
