is it easy for a 125 to pop a descent wheelie ? if so what would i need on my bike to do it ? and is it wrecking my bike in any way?

A top box filled with bricks.

What kind of bike is it?

I did them on my restricted NSR 125. And by "them" I don't really mean a decent wheelie. I found it best to actually do them from standing rather than rolling along, to max difference between engine speed and road speed. Rev it up, dump the clutch, up it jumps, rev to try and hold it and try not to fall to either side because of the slow speed, and come down hard probably wrecking your forks.

Good thing that bike got written off and I didn't have to try and sell it to be honest. Wink

i can kind of do them on my 50.
sit right at the back of the seat and use the rear pegs if you have them.
ride along slowly about 5-10mph build up the revs and dump the clutch.
if it doesnt come up try revving it harder or pull up a bit.

You haven't said what 125. Presume it's the CBR125? Haven't got proper graphics here to see your avatar.

Some 125s can do them fine, others can't at all.

If you've got a short first gear, it'll be a case of clutching it and keeping your weight back, maybe with a bounce.
Doing them on a 125 like this is much harder than on bigger bikes, meaning you're much more likely to have problems if you don't know what you're doing; possibly causing damage or crashing your bike.
A skilled stunter could undoubtedly do them for several miles fine and still do less damage to the bike than riding down a pot-holed road.

To conclude, spend your time practicing for your test and get a bigger bike Smile

You still haven't said what bike you have.

If it's one of the really-heavy CBR copies then you've got even less chance.
