I will come out for a bit, but I don't know if I will do any wheelies. I might bring the camera out to get a few HD pics of Shaner just to prove his bike is running

We will start you off slow then get consistent with little wheelies and then work from there all about consistency and and smoothness

i kinda figured that would have to happen since i way 2/3 of the bike haha.

Scout16 · 08-19-2009, 01:27 AM

well youll learn when you find where your comfterable with its mostly about about how you and the bike react. start by learning to get up to speed roll off the throttle let the suspension dip and then roll it back on and it will bring it up. but start off just barley bringing the wheel off the ground, get use to that then higher get use to that and so on. i know for myself and a few people when i first started doing wheelies 6 inches felt like it was going over backwards already haha. now im up maybe 4 feet and still getting use to it coming up higher than that.

its kinda like a big b.s. session, wheelies are optional.

Scout16 · 08-19-2009, 01:34 AM

exactly. and for clutch wheelies youll be running at speed and pull in the clutch and rev the bike smoothly up and just pop the clutch of course the guys who ride the 750's will be way more help on that one. cuase my bikes set up way different than yours
