hey guys, jus bought my first bike, 125cc thumpy. i loove riding the beast, but i wana do wheelies lol, ne1 giv me ne trick tips

 

[eichkay]

Get some low speed up, back of the throttle as the bike leans forward due to weight shift get on the gas and give the bike a little tug on the bars and it'l come up with ease, then its playing on the throttle to keep the balance point in check. Use the rear brake to pull the nose down as required.

Yeah, drag ya feet on the ground. That seems to be how I see most boys doing it. LOL

Or as eichkay says above. Start small and build it up. Practice, practice, practice. But keep your foot covering that rear brake just in case

pop the clutch lean back lean back!

I agree with eichkay although i don't cover the rear brake because it forces me to get the balance point right.

consequently i can now sit on the back wheel with one smooth throttle opening rather than brap brap brap to keep the balance i believe wheelies are more about balance than throttle control although throttle control is very important.

so remember just go slow either in 1st or 2nd and just open it up and lean back it should come straight up and then from then balance balance balance.

ive been doin a bit of that, from experience on a pushy, but actualy trying it is rly diferent. practice makes poifect i guess

Just cover the rear brake anyway in case you flip it. Then as you get better you'll lose the need for it.

Oh, and make sure your health insurance is paid up.

I honestly think foot drag wheelies are harder than normal sitting wheelies.

I honestly think foot drag wheelies are harder than normal sitting wheelies.

Narh , dont think so.. i can do foot drags all day long. Sitting down is harder than fet dragging and try standing on the rear pegs, now thats a hard wheelie. i thought it was gunna be easy on the rear pegs.
