Default Frustration!

I dont know what's harder, clutching wheelies or dealing with the frustration of not being able to do them. Maybe a day or two w/out trying will help things out.

Take your time... start small and work your way up... The posibility of you getting hurt greatly increases when you try to do to much to soon...

These bikes can take a beating... just make sure you do proper maintenance and you should be fine for a while...

I feel ya nick, i'm seriously bout 2 go crazy cuz i cannot 4 the life of me do a damn wheelie! lol i swear i've read every wheelie-how-to that's on the internet. and i've been out riding & riding tryin all the time and i just can't do it, if i power it i can get it up like 7 inchesoff the ground..lol the first night i read all about clutchin it, i tried it first thing in the morning, failed the first time, 2nd time came up like 2 ft. ever since i can't clutch it off the ground to clear a ladybug. and i can't figure out what i'm doing wrong. i just let out the clutch and get the xtra power boost but no wheelie. what "exact" rpms are you guys hitting when u engage & disengage the clutch, and do u ease it out quick but smooth or just outright dump it? THANK YOU!

Its about time..... this morning i went out to give it a shot and i finally lifted it. After that first time it seems like all it was about was seeing how much higher i can bring it. I practiced the whole day and i can almost clutch it straight to bp.

glad to hear you got it...
the bike always "feels" higher than it actually is...
bp is when you start to feel the bike fall backwards, instead of forwards, cover the brake, and throttle brake it to keep it from tiping backwards
