uh oh...your going to get burned on this one. 2 months of riding and you want to learn how to wheelie? Everyone is going to say "learn how to ride first, then if your still alive learn to wheelie" And they are right. Dude take your time learning to ride. Learn, Learn, Learn and then when your done learning, learn some more. But I know this wont stop you from trying to get that front end up. So be safe out there. Take it slow and wear your gear.

Right on. Well just be safe. Trying to do wheelies when your not ready can really come back to sting you...hard. The easiest way to get the front end up on your bike is to clutch it up. Bring the clutch in about halfway then rev it up to about 9-10K and pop the clutch...make sure your going about 20 mph first...the front end will come up quick so make sure your covering that rear brake. If it comes up to quick let go of the throttle and SLOWLY apply the rear brake. You dont want the front end to come crashing down. Take it slow, its going to take you a while to get it right and have the front come up at all. TAKE IT SLOW!!!!!!!!!

Not here to say if you should or should not do anything, but here is some video I took after having my CBR 3 weeks. This will show you how quick it comes up. Your not going to get it to stand up without at least blipping the throttle a little as you can see on the tank cam. I am no expert or near as good as some guys on this site, but I will help you get the basics down. PM me with specifics.

Lol. Sorry Murph but you as wrong as they come. You don't try power wheelies do you? Every single wheelie in that video I posted is power up. Sorry, there are 2 clutched up. Don't give false advice. Get higher with clutch? I don't want any higher or I am going to be on my ***.

rydnlo99 : I will help answer any questions you may have. I will not give you advice that I have not experienced first hand.
