Can you wheelie a 125

It just takes some practice and the right technique. The powerband on a 2 stroke bike can get you into some pretty crazy situations. The short answer to this question is that doing a wheelie is NOT very hard. Did you stay on 2 wheels your first try? Probably not. All you really have to do is shift your weight back towards the back wheel, get into 2nd gear works best for me , give it a bunch of gas, and pull up on the handlebars. I actually find it harder to do a wheelie on a 2 stroke dirt bike.

Being in 1st or 2nd gear and hitting the powerband will be more than enough to get your bike up. Just try that out first a few times. They make for some of the most engaging machines, ready to power-wheelie out of every corner or even go out on a cross-country tour. You can definitely clutch wheelie a cc sport bike, it just takes higher revs. Some pop wheelies using the combination of clutch and sudden throttle twist, while others with more powerful bikes simply do power wheelies.

So is wheeling harmful to the bike or not? The transformation from automatic to manual was quite quick! But for me it was easy. For a , it has a lot of power. Yes, it is possible to damage wheels doing wheelies and taking falls; however, it is less likely on a bike truly designed to take the abuse of off-road riding such as your new stumpy. Steps: Put the bike into a medium or low gear and begin at rolling speed. Crouch your upper body so your weight is over the handlebars.

Turn the cranks to the position. This is VERY important because it compresses your rear suspension. It's very difficult to clutch a wheelie without compressing rear suspension first.

You're not trying to build up speed! Starting at low RPMs is very important. If you start a clutch wheelie at RPM, it will be very difficult and you'll red line long before you go vertical.

Power comes from low RPM. Almost immediately after accelerating, pull clutch in enough to disengage and let the engine rev to about RPM. You can do this slow at first, eventually it becomes an instantaneous motion.

This is the hardest part. You HAVE to release fast. You'll know you released too fast when your RPM drops down to - this means you released too fast. Practice, practice, practice. When you get it right it will feel like you have hydraulics on your front wheel and pop right up much quicker and smoother than a power-bounce wheelie.

Once you master this, your bike should be popping up a little bit. The next step is throttle control. While releasing the clutch, add throttle. If you want to go big - vertical - and stay there - the big thing to learn is that you can not let go of the throttle OR the clutch. You will control height of the wheelie with your clutch at this point. So once again. You should be able to keep it up in 1st gear for a few seconds without any problems.

The higher you go the longer you stay up. Once you get good, you won't have to rev before you clutch. Do them at the same time. Yes, pull in clutch, rev engine a little in low gear then let off clutch but don't drop it. Yes No. Not Helpful 5 Helpful Yes, it does. It is located under the swing arm, and ends where it becomes hidden by the rear wheel.

Not Helpful 11 Helpful Do I have to hold the throttle, or do I just quickly accelerate and then pull the clutch? Get your motorcycle rolling on half clutch. Then, you just need to sit back, rev hard, and let the clutch go. Your bike will do the rest. Not Helpful 3 Helpful 8. Not Helpful 1 Helpful 6. A cc engine, two-stroke or four-, has way more than enough power. I've seen people doing wheelies with scooters and Vespas.

A smaller bike is easier and safer to learn on, then you can move up to bigger bikes. Not Helpful 2 Helpful 6. Adam Monk. Get it in gear 1, find your balance and go as slowly as possible. Give it lots of revs then drop the clutch and your wheel should rise, but if it doesn't, just repeat the steps and lean back.

Not Helpful 6 Helpful 9. You need to sit right back on the seat to change the bike's balance point and rev the crap out of the throttle. Not Helpful 1 Helpful 3. Apart from the torque reaction, no. Although, you might want to think about the weight of your bike.

If it's a biggie, it is critical to wind the throttle on and have revs left to do so as the front comes down. You do not want to be dropping something like an FJR repeatedly on its head bearings!
