Right, iv tried and tried to clutch wheelie but i just cant seem to get it right,

My bike wieghs 150k, im about 90k myself and the bike has 14.6 break horse. Now i know it wont power wheelie, but it should clutch wheelie.

However, can someone post the procedure? My bike redlines at 11'000 if thats anyhelp for setting out where i should rev to.

Any more info i can give then i will. Any help is very much appriciated.

I want to try a wheelie at some point.

I am thinking its mby not a good idea on the FJR as its a bit big.
Are wheelies on heavy bikes a lot more difficult? (ie more likely to land heavily into a tank slapper or some such)

+ my bike is really long, I am guessing this would make it a lot more difficult to wheelie.

Closest I have been is to have the front steering go when accelerating onto a motorway, front mby just left the floor, or at least very close too it.

Someone said a while ago that no one would be able to wheelie a 33bhp r6, how wrong they were. So unless it's someone you trust whos giving you the advice, don't listen! Wink

Innominate, your bike is going to be a total bitch to wheelie, you'll do damn well to keep that up and get a decent landing.

Yorkshirelad, just gradually increase the revs, sit upright, and be ready on the back brake. Start at about 8k, then gradually increase the revs by about 500 each time.

When bringing the bike back down keep the revs up. Stops it from slamming down so hard.

Probably.

I want some crash bungs & a specific area to practice before I try and refine my technique.

Panels are quite expensive for the FJR & I can see myself dropping it at some point.

Just make sure your little tyres are warmed up enough.

Is it a sports bike? and at 14.6hp I think you got pretty much no chance... I been trying for ages on my RS 125 which is full power, about 36hp ( I think.. ) and it just dosnt want to stay up, it just dies no matter what I do, I tried slipping it with the front will in the air and didnt do anything, I tried different speeds.

I can pop the front but only about a foot or so high then its back down.

hyosong comet easy to wheely, let me have a go Laughing

try bouncing it a bit using the back break, dab the brake gently then as you release the pressure on brake clutch it up.... try it standing staggered (left foot on back peg) to get some more weight over back wheel... I've often seen the little comet 125's to be a good stunt bike. look like a mini sv650 Cool

you can wheelie any bike i can wheelie my peds with ease and they dont power wheelie or have a clutch to slip just sit right on the back and rev and up pops the front, so a 14.6 bhp geared bike should be "easy" to wheelie, my m8 could wheelie both his rs 50 and derbi gprr 50 until he binned them both lol

open the throttle when its coming down, you'll get a softer landing as the power from the engine will slow the descent of the front end. I can image the fork seals on it aren't liking you much...

I completely agree Sparks! I used that technique on a ZX7R because it was a bitch to get up otherwise.

I just clutch up my ZX10R in first or second from low speed, or if i'm feeling lazy a long power wheelie is fairly easy with this much horsepower.

Yeah, it was Jimmy Fireblades wheelie school over at East Kirkby, had a damn good day. Although did it on my own bike, which meant i didn't have the luxury of the tilt switch that cuts the motor if you get too high that was fitted on the schools bandits.

I'm thinking of hanving another go one day, but using Jimmy's bikes
