Steering Wheelies

[0l0dom0l0]

So, I can now sufficiently keep the front wheel off the ground for a reasonable amount of time.

How do I start to steer them? I'm not talking about crazy amounts just a little bit to keep the wheelie on course etc.

Use your rear handlebars obviously

I see them turning their wheel at the front which seems to alter the weight slightly to turn, but could mess up on land I guess

watch superretards on youtube and you will see how they alter their path

You lean, but move your body as well.

Turning the bars is just to keep you balanced. Cos if you turn the front wheel, half of the wheel goes left, half right so the weight is still centred as it balances.

hijacking your thread but...
what is the easiest way to wheelie?
I am worried about dropping the clutch and taking the bike too far over and wrecking it
Never ever had an accidental power wheelie either, previous bikes, thundercat, '05 z750 and current bike is a '03 daytona 600

I thought this topic was going to be about when people racing somehow wheelie while still leaned over coming out of a turn always wondered how they do that!

Don't forget life savers when you switch lanes

You need to be able to wheelie indefinitely before you consider trying to steer and change lanes etc.

But once you are comfortable sitting at a set speed on the back wheel, you can use counter steering to change lanes etc.
Only while the front wheel is still spinning though.
On the YZF450, after about 3/4 mile, the front wheel would eventually stop spinning, meaning you have to lean / hang off to change lanes on the bike.
It also makes landing it a little interesting, especially when doing triple figures.

To be fair, since selling the 450F, I've not bothered with them. I can manage 2nd to 4th on the R1, but cant settle down with speed, so keep accelerating, which isn't nice. Once it gets to about 140, I put the front down. DO NOT LIKE.

apply weight to the turn side foot peg.

Is this thread a guessing game or something?
