wheelie

s Before moving on to the first wheelie exercise, you must first consider three things: one is a safe place or you find an empty parking lot or, behind me, a training facility and don't even think about it, the public road is not a place where you can practice wheelies, the second thing is safety equipment when you learn new tricks, always wear all the protective equipment possible, like helmet, gloves, motorcycle jacket, knee protectors, motorcycle boots, whatever, the only thing that doesn't I would recommend when learning how to do wheelies on a street

bike

. is to wear thick motocross boots because with them you don't have a very good feeling with the foot brake, which is crucial when learning to wheelie, the third and last thing, prepare the bike to facilitate balance.

I recommend that you lower the pressure in the rear wheels. up to 1.5 bar, of course, when you are learning tricks an accident can happen and in that case you don't want only your body to be protected but you are also valuable and for that I recommend that you add some protective accessories like us. we did it for my 1290 super duke r we added the shock coils and we added a shock cage to my wheelie time on my 1290 super adventure guys let's learn how to do wheelies first we will learn how to control our foot brake mainly a street bike normal.

The rider uses the front brakes, but in the wheelie you need to use the rear brake, so let me show you an exercise so we can work on that. Well, for that exercise we have a place here with other lines and two cones and we're going to do it. a figure of eight and very tight curves that will force us to use the foot brake. The rule here doesn't allow me to cross the white line and you can already hear my rear brake and I'm not even touching the accelerator. Everything is there. This is done with the foot brake and my clutch and this is how I manage to make the tight turns once the exercise becomes boring and you are no longer thinking about how to use the foot brake, that is a sign that you are ready for the next exercise.

I'll show you now, once you're comfortable with the foot brake, you're ready for the next exercise I call the wheelie lift. This exercise is a combination of four movements that you do at the same time as the clutch and foot brake throttle body position, so let me show you now step by step how to do each of them when driving on the streets through traffic , you usually release the clutch slowly to have smooth acceleration, but on the wheelie you have to do it faster so that you can create this lifting effect, this looks like this and a side note: don't hold the bag with all four fingers because you have nothing to hold on to, so there are no fingers left here, so I recommend two fingers or one finger in the bag. two fingers on the lever so that you have a good grip and good control of the bike, at the same time you release the clutch, add acceleration between two and three thousand rpm more than the idle, keep it stable, don't do it. pump because you will lose your balance while riding and one important thing is not to accelerate too much, it is not necessary to enter the red zone because you can make a loop with your bike and you don't want that to appear a wheelie in a smooth and controlled way, the position of the body is key, you need to shift all your body weight as much as possible backwards and this will force the bike to lift up, what I mean by that move your butt towards the edge of the passenger seat. the upper body position not in front don't pull with your hands but move back stay there and once you are up just lean back and stay lean back and this will help you lift control of the steering wheel and a really nice and smooth movement the last movement you need to combine with the clutch accelerator and body position is the foot brake.

It's there for two reasons: the first is to soften the landing, so you touch it lightly or if you have an emergency situation and you're just before you turn the bike, you hit the brake, close the throttle, land again and avoid the accident. Okay guys, we're ready to do some wheelies, so one important thing before you start this exercise if you usually sit on a newer model bike. These types of bikes have a lot of electronics and a lot of ride assist so turn everything off, turn off the abs, turn off the mtc, turn off the traction control and a little tip that will help you do a smooth wheelie if your bike has modes of driving like the ones my super duke has. track performance sports street and rain put it in the rain which usually means the throttle response is smoother and not as twitchy and this will make things easier so I have it on remote everything is off and we start rolling in first gear March.

Do that trick, all in first gear, so slowly approach the clutch and accelerate and go up and down and once again up and down, try to use the foot brake as much as possible and not the front brake, so with that you will be able to pass. The practice is becoming more and more controllable, the goal here is to go higher and higher in the angle, but not higher and higher so you can start with the small steps, just a small movement like this, this is enough to get an idea of to do. with the clutch throttle body and the foot brake, so lift, you will see, you will hear that I will not wrap the bike much, like I said, two to three thousand rpm and not too much, so that the clutch is in and out of the body and The back appears up and back so I'm not lifting the bike with my hands but I'm actually leaning back and this helps me lift the bike so boom once you get comfortable with the clutch and the throttle, then you will be able to concentrate on going higher and lean back, so the body position now is the next focus. , so go up and lean back and you'll see that it was already a wheelie longer.

If you lean back, the better the wheel will be, so we mastered how to lift the wheelie. Now we want to stay on the wheelie, so it's time to learn the wheelie. Our goal here is the break-even point. This is the sweet spot you want to be at. and it feels like the bike has no weight and you're just floating on the back wheel and here are four steps to do it so we're gripping it and we're in the air what to do with constant throttle, don't pump it too much if you need to correct with the accelerator a smooth movement with a body position of the hand similar to that of the pop up but do not jump off the bicycle, lie down, this is how you will transform the weight and you will find the balance point only with the position of your body you will feel it the more you lean back, the more you will reach the sweet spot and listen now to the rest of the bike.

I won't accelerate it much and it's because of my body position, lean back and that's it, lock your legs on the bike to hold on and feel the foot brake of the bike, don't forget the fruit break, this It is the number one rule, the most important foot rest, once you are on the wheelie, you can touch it gently and you can see what happens with the bike. Don't be afraid to brake a little. If you are going to break it a lot, you are going to start. Let's go down, nothing worse, let's go back to the starting point and try the wheelie one more time, one important thing that I realized is what people do when I try to teach them a wheelie, they want to push it, they want to learn it very quickly, wrong, and what happens?

They go up and are happy on the wheelie but suddenly the bike goes down and when it goes down they already lose their balance point but they want to correct it with a lot of accelerator and you don't want to do that because it's not a very big place, maybe you can fly somewhere you don't want to fly into it, it's game over, you'll never get back to the balance point and smooth it out, and I recommend stopping, gently going backwards, going back to the starting point and starting again, leaning back and really smoothing out. we're doing a long wheelie oh so we have to turn back then be careful guys an important tip you want to land softly so you don't destroy your front forks or have a heavy hit on the tank and you can lose control and hit the bicycle that does not.

I want that, so let me show you what happens if I close the throttle and hit it hard, go up and bomb, oh that hurts my butt, so how to do it, just one thing, when the front tire goes back down just before to touch the On the ground add throttle, not full power but add a little to soften the landing and this will keep the front fork safe and once you master the wheelie you can apply the same technique on any type of bike you want. I have the adventure here, a big and strong bike.

I am sued. Oh, wrong helmet. Let me change it quickly. Well, now I'm ready. I need to turn off all the abs and msr systems that are taking my phone away. Oh yes, oh yes, so soft. The V-Twin engine runs very smoothly, it is much smoother than the module. Well, guys, that's how you learn to wheelie on a big, strong street bike, but if you have an off-road bike at home, my friend Chris Burch, who's my KTM buddy. ambassador so he made an amazing video on how to do a wheelie on a dirt bike and the link is in the description so go watch it you won't regret it it's giveaway time I didn't forget guys thanks for staying with us throughout the entire instructional video and now it's time to show you how you can win this six scorpion adx1 helmet three simple things first follow the scorpion sports instagram account second share the
