Best way to learn to wheelie is to get your *** in the seat and practice. People can give advice on how to wheelie all day long, but it's one of them things that just takes time to learn. Try searching youtube if you need examples.

And frame sliders work about as well as a busted condom. False comfort. Invest in a cage or build one yourself.

Good luck.










P.S. I've got a wheelie button that attaches to your clip-on that I'll sell you for $200

try using the clutch. start off easy and work your way up.
Get rolling between 10-20 mph. pull the clutch, bring your rpm's up a bit and quickly release the clutch. Stay consistent with your speed and keep your rear brake covered.
If it's not coming up, try increasing your rpm's a little bit each time.
It's hard not to, but try not to concentrate too hard on watching your tach. Try to get familiar with how your bike sounds at different rpm's.
It all feels scetchy but eventually you'll get familiar with it and it becomes second nature.

Like I said, the only way to get better is seat time. practice makes perfect. all that good stuff.

If it's not working for you, try something different.

Keep me posted on your progress, I'll try to help if I can.

I too ride an F3. I'm definitely no expert but I've figured out the sweet spot to get my F3 up. I accelerate in 1st gear to @ 5k rpms then let off the throttle, then immediately get back on the throttle. My bike comes up almost everytime. I have to make sure that I'm sitting up straight and not leaning over the tank or the front end will just get light and won't come up. I've clutched it up a few times too but I'm not too comfortable with that yet. Take it a little bit at a time and be patient. People say to keep the rear brake covered but I don't know how that is possible exactly. My rear brake lever sits well above my footpeg so I have to take my foot off the peg to hit the brake. ???
