Member Contributer jeremy556 Posted September 12, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted September 12, 2008 Ride along at 4,000RPM in second gear. Open throttle fully and hold it there then slip the clutch. Don't dump it, but move through the friction zone over the about 3/4 of a second or so. Do it right and it will bring the front end right up to the balance point with ease, it will take a little practice. Changing the gearing and lowering your rear tire pressure will help also. :warranty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer keithbob Posted September 12, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted September 12, 2008 It will do it though. When Jalene and I have the bike packed heavy for a cross-country jaunt, it will come right up in first or second on a freeway on-ramp with throttle alone. First gear wheelies are easy, why not just bang it up into second while it's up there? You try it first. :warranty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veefer800Canuck Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Pop it up in first, then shift to second on the fly...... It's how I do it. I actually made it into 3rd one time. That was way rad (for little old me anyhow) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 +1 on starting out in first. Last time I did it I could have made it to 3rd, but had to set it down cause I was coming up on my wife too quick. She wasn't impressed, and I couldn't wipe the grin off.

Speak for yourself buddy, I try riding wheelies every time I'm on the the bike. And it doesn't look like we're at a loss for advice on the last 10 posts. Say what you want about killing the fork seals, chain, clutch, etc. etc... If I were totally opposed to wheelies, I'd be on the VTX forum instead. We ride a sportbike. They sometimes wheelie. Imagine that! :fing02: Thanks for the advice last 10 posters! LOL I usually do power wheelies at about 4-5K, but have also been thinking about clutching it up in 2nd. I tried briefly today, but just did some herky jerky BS. More practice. VFR wheelie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soichiro Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Get a CBR1000!! :offtopic: +1 If your gonna do stanup wheelies you should be able to get it up in first and while it's up shift to second. If you cant do that you shouldnt be doing stand up, or any wheelie for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer NorthernVFRDave Posted September 13, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted September 13, 2008 I do sit down ones in second all the time, first time scared the crap out of myself. All you need is about 2 bars on the fuel gauge and shift your butt back and up comes that front wheel everytime as the V-tec kicks in. Ok so its more of a power lift as its only a few inches and doesn't last long, but my brother the CRB rider has a lot more respect for the VFR after it happened to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer ECX585 Posted September 13, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted September 13, 2008 Guys...........I have a deep, dark secret that eats away at my very core. Even though a sense of inadequacy will surely follow, I feel as though I must get this off my chest once and for all. My name is Eric........and I never learned how to do wheelies (wiping tear from eye). I really want to do them, but I'm poor and I dislike pain very much. Does this make me any less of a man?? ::sniffle:: Any encouragement would be appreciated :fing02: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
