I suspect that's your problem then. Usually you need to dump the clutch, not slip it.

(Haven't watched the vid.)

You're going a bit quick whenever you try and launch them. Slow it down and keep practicing.

I think your problem, although I am in no way an expert, or even a novice, lol, is that when you get up you are suddenly laying off the throttle, bringing you down. I can't wait till I can try though! Very Happy

Anyway... nice vids! Very Happy

You are getting there, practice makes perfect! Very Happy

AAhh takes me back to me yoof watching that!! It's all been said b4 but your a little bit to close to the power band b4 you were clutching it up so when you got the front up you were running out of revs..but fair does you did 2 or 3 with a gear change mid wheelie. on the 125's if you can get it to the point of balance then i used to find it easier to blip the throttle on off on off style to keep it up as you can keep the speed down but does take a bit of practice. Once you feel comfatable with a bike on the point of balance then you will be able to wheelie just about anything with 2 wheels.I havent owned a 125 for about 17 yrs now but popping a good wheelie still puts a smile on my face. Very Happy

EDIT....just seen the second vid .........thats what i was talking about lol
