Hey guys,
im kinda new to the bike scene, only been riding for about a season. I'm really comfortable with my bike(it an f2), and think I'm ready to take the motorcycle experience to the next level. I've been trying to do a wheelie for awhile now, but can't seem to get the front up.
My wheelie entry rpm is around 4k and I think when I release the clutch its somewhere around 6k. I as just wondering if this was too low? And is there just a ball park rpm rage I should be aiming for?
I know every machine will be different, I'm just looking for a range that I can play around with to see where mine needs to be. Thanks for any help or info!!!

Oh and i do have a bigger sprocket in the rear.

 

What gear are you doing this in?

 

Don't think about the rpms having to be at a certain rate as that will have you looking down and not concentrating on your wheelie.
rpm speed does not really matter when clutching up.
It comes down to how much you have twisted your throttle.
If you don't stay on the gas the rpm's will drop as soon as you release the clutch.
Just start low and keep twisting the throttle more and more until the front pops up, then you can start learning to stay on the throttle to keep the front up.

 

Ok, ill try more tonight just playing with the throttle. I'm doing this in 1st gear btw at around 15-20 mph sometimes in second. I'm trying to learn in 1st gear first just to get used to the feeling, then ill go to second. Now I've herd the stand up on the the rear peg( with the left, and covering brake with the right) would be a good way to learn how to handle the clutch and get a feeling for it. Is this really a good idea?

 

I wouldn't try that until you get them down first.
Are you used to riding like that? Then why throw another variable in.
That is more of a stance for low speed parking lot wheelies.

 

I also have an f2 man, and trust me its not that easy to pop a wheelie. First of all I can only do it in 1st gear for some reason, but I cant stay on the throttle and balancing it, so nose always goes down.

If this is gonna be a stunt bike just swap the sprockets and you will make your life alot easier.

 

I already have the sprockets swaped for more torque. are the f2s really that under powered?

 

No, Its all technique.
There was a video posted the other day of a guy doing a 2nd gear wheelie down the highway on one.
Also a buddy can do wheelies all day long on his 30HP 250.

 

Yea man, If you already have the big sprocket you should be good to go. Are your doing clutch or throttle wheelies? The clutch is the easiest on these bikes.

 

Im trying to clutch it up. i just feel like im not giving it enough throttle when I release to clutch. Can anyone give me a ballpark of how much to give?
