You need to dump the clutch.

Don't do this around cars or people.

On a nice quiet road, roll along in first at about 5 mph. Sit slightly back on your seat. Rev the engine hard to about 10k then drop the clutch, the front wheel should pop up.

Id its possible on my little 50, its definantly possible on your 125.

RS125's are very tricky to wheelie. Its either lots of clutch abuse or down gear the bike.

I put a smaller front sprocket on my old RS and it would wheelie off throttle quite well, neither huge or small, just a decent wheelie. Of course, its more hassle changing sprocket than dumping the clutch at 8000rpm. Just make sure you have the rear brake covered over! Very Happy

They will wheelie. The issue is not the peak torque, but the spread of torque. You need to be in the power band to get decent lift really. So we're talking go along slowly, then rev to near the redline and dump the clutch.

Definitely do not do this the first time you try. Build up the rev range gradually or you could find yourself on your back!

A little 'bounce' can help; stand up then push down on the pegs, as the bike bounces back up do your clutch thang.
