looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooong
... and it hurts me to see the guy is not happy at the end!

 

damn, i was hoping for a crash

 

Ok, I've got to ask, what is the best way to learn to do a wheelie?

 

this is the best video i've seem which tells you how to wheelie a bike: http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...2466&q=wheelie
google for more vids there are plenty, but this one explains it best for newbies.

 

does the first step in that video include 600's too? b/c I've gone a bit into first on my friends YZF 600 then got into it and the front wheel didnt budget until i accidently slipped the clutch a bit going into second at like 13k rpms and the front poped up for a split second about 3 inches. scared the sh*t outta me. But I havent tried one yet on my bike b/c its only got 185 miles on it and I was told not to take it above 7k for the first 400-600 miles.

 

if your serious about doing wheelies on a f4i PM me ok. i will get you my phone number and talk you through it. i did wheelies 3-5 miles long on my F4i, including a long one across the coronado bridge in San Deigo.

 

damn. i hate doin long wheelies. you can definatly split people's wigs by doin them, but they hurt your shins like no other. that was cool though. i like how he was riding the passenger pegs... nice touch!

 

WTF. NICE WHEELIE THOUGH

 

DAAAAAAMN speechless...... yep uh huh bad *** wheelie

 

Not quite sure what the best method for learning how to wheelie is, but I can tell you that the best method for starving your top end for oil is well represented in this video. Anytime you wheelie for longer than like 10-15 seconds, the oil is sloshed away from the pickup in the oil pan. No oil to pickup = low oil pressure = not enough oil to all important cams/crank/rods...think about it.
