Oh man I love that sound! I'm gonna go find me a service road...

 

Hey TK, thanks for posting your video. I'm also trying to learn how to clutchup a wheelie. What I was wondering about is throttle position.From the timeyou begin the slip of the clutch until the time the bikebegins to get close to BP are you atwide openthrottle? Thanks, Mike

 

I really dont know, i guess i could do one, hold it then shut the bike off to see how much more there is to go. I just give it a twist, little in 1st gear, a lot in 3rd [&:]. Definatly not wide open though, if i had to take a guess, id say from about 1/8th throttle to 1/2 throttle for a 2nd gear sitdown. But please dont go and try one based on my info. My point is you just have to play with it, you will just learn where to go with it.

 

no good answer tonite Mike, wont let me post much today [:@]. But no not wide open for sure. I would say maybe half, depending on what gear, sitting or standing. Its all just feel.


Here is another vid tho http://s131.photobucket.com/albums/p318/TK954rr/?action=view¤t=sofar.flv

 

Thanks TK. So you slip the clutch,at the same time increase throttle and then hold thethrottle in the new position as you release the clutch?Then as the front end comes upyou adjustthrottle and rear brakeas needed?

 

Srry for the double post, it was acting stupid for me last nite, guess the first one went thru afterall. Anyhow thats about it, the clutch slip is quick, by the time i have the throttle cracked open ive almost completed the slip. I would say though that once the slip is done i do keep rolling into the throttle some, dont just hold it steady. Especially learning, you will have to keep gassing it after the slip. Once you get more used to it you will kinda know how far to take it, but gotta keep on the gas.

 

Thanks for the info TK, I'll give it a shot. I'm sure once you get the hang of doing it it's a beautiful thing, I can't wait until I'm at that point.
