Got the Honda NSR which is 125 and since i had it for around 3 month now.

Dunno, may be now it's time to explore something new, as i want something more.

Just want some advices how do you wheelie 125 from 5-10mph speed as i have seen some guys doing it, need exact figures of where the revs should be, what to do with clutch etc...

thx, Yarri

go out, start small, and practise its the only way you will learn properly.

Use speed bumps to unweight the front. Get used to just lifting the front a few inches, then work up.

on my 125cc Yammy TDR, 6000rpm and dump the clutch. You will need to experiment.

be careful, and cover the back brake. If it gets too high dabbing the back brake will bring it down. Don't slam it on otherwise you can bring the front down with enough force to pop the fork seals.

Fun if done right tho Thumbs Up

I don't know if it is just me, but I wasn't able to until I had mine de-restricted.

I managed to do some very small ones before hand, I basically rolled at about 10mph with the clutch open, then grabbed the clutch and revved really hard then let go of the clutch. - The front would jump up a bit, not a lot though.

I recently did a very small wheelie accidentally when pulling away, wasn't much but I reckon if I try the method above I could wheelie it (And probably wreck my bike but hey)

It shouldn't have anything to do with power - roll the throttle off, compress the forks, open it up in 1st and pull the bars - the front wheel will come up! Watch it doesn't keep on coming though or you'll be running down the road still holding the bars... Oh, when you bring it down, it helps if the front wheel is pointing forwards... lol
