2nd or 3rd to bust wheelie @ 75 mph
I always go 2nd, but always sitting. For some reason I find it harder to stand up first. I always feel like I'm gonna get thrown off balance backwards when I try that way. Then if it don't pop up, all my weight goes on front wheel and wants to do tank-slappers. Sitting, I can get the bike straight up and hang it. How do YOU do stand up wheelies? And in 2nd or 3rd?
I know how to use the clutch, thats how I do all wheelies.
I have a 954RR w/lots of mods. 165HP. enough power! but it's body position and the bike learching forward suddenly makes me always rock back too far when standing.
i also have 1-tooth smaller front sprocket. the bike is VERY fast so thats not the issue.
Plus, leaning back is NOT recommended!

I am a sit down wheelie guy...i can bring up my 02 R1 from 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, with some effort in 3rd...
best way for me to get it into 3rd is to quickly shift to 3rd after i get it up in 2nd...
im a big guy, no one certainly needs to clutch up 1st, but i do slightly pull the clutch in and 'blip' it to jerk the bike up so i can bring it up going very slow....
my favorite wheelies are from around 50 mph in 2nd, shift to 3rd, and ride it out as long as i can..i know that i am just not quite at the balance point, but when i get going fast enough, the wind helps me with that....
i have a buddy that is stand up wheelie crazy, he can ride his bike like a unicycle down the highway and never put it down...all in one motion, he compresses the front forks, hits the throttle, and then brings his body into standing motion....i am regurgitating what he has told me, cause i tried it, and obviously didnt do it quick enough, and I feel like u, like im going to get tossed off thebike.
this guy can wheelie his bike doing standups in 4th gear over 140mph....one night we were screwing around, he kept bringin it up while we were going faster and faster, and then he brought it up in 4th, we were flying...its was pretty neat...
3am, no one on the highway, yadda yadda...if you dont like this kinda stuff, shouldnt be in thos post.
good luck to you...be careful..my thoughts are to stick to what you know...i can sit down wheelie and do stoppies with the best of them....im not looking for any more excitement!
Source(s): ps u said leaning back is not rec. not for a standup...but for a sitdown, dont lean at all, keep your body static till u get it up... i figure you know that already, you say u are doing sit downs already...later dude - silvestreLv 44 years ago
previous the line the minimize contains the supply of progressed existence help and for regulation enforcement to supervise crash web content. seventy 5 mph is a lot greater survivable than 80 mph, which in turn is a lot greater survivable than 80 5 mph. At one hundred mph in simple terms approximately all injuries are fatalities, which (from a regulatory point of view) can tie up officers and close down the line for one million/2 an afternoon. At one hundred twenty mph, see the video interior the 1st source. autos might desire to be designed for a optimal impression speed, the cost at which the provide way zones are exhausted and the restraints have completed all they might. interior the Seventies it replace into usual the "candy spot" for optimal impression speed for passenger autos replace into approximately 80 mph. with the aid of that speed fatalities are elementary besides so it did not count if the automobiles have been designed for ninety mph. speed limits replicate the jurisdiction's willingness to handle the carnage from larger speeds. 70 mph is tremendously risk-free, 80 mph is soliciting for hassle. ninety mph is in simple terms trouble-free stupid.

Just clutch it up. It takes practice... But you gotta have the power to pull the wheel off the ground. If you don't have the power, then it doesn't matter how high you rev it

IF YOU HAVE A GIRL BIKE, YOU COULD CLUTCH IT AND BRING IT UP, BUT A BETTER WAY IS TO RE-GEAR IT. IF YOU REALLY WANT TO BRING IT UP, PUT A FULL SHOT OF NOS ON IT AND IT WILL COME UP AT ANYTIME, JUST LEAN BACK AND HOLD ON.
