I can do second and third gear wheelies pretty easy. I have to stand up staggered in 3rd to get it up and I clutch and pull pretty hard on the bars.

That was a pretty impressive video. I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it myself.

Default RE: 3rd gear wheelies?

I got my bike August 2nd, so I'm really new to riding a streetbike (been racing dirtbikes since age six). I've been practicing wheelies, and I have been able to get my bike up in 3rd. So it is definitely possible and in my case, obviously not about experience. My first wheelie was atabout 45mph in third gear. First gear wheelies make me more nervous because they are very jerky and not very smooth to keep up. Just my opinion...

Right now i am running a 15/48 gear set up (1 down 2 up). going about 60, i have to burry it into the rev limiter to get it to clutch up. i can ride them out in second and shift into 3rd and keep it up but i hate having to drop down to like 60mph to get the front wheel off the ground.
