Long Wheelies...
Okay so I have been doing wheelies but I notice when I look at my RPM it is way up there like at 12 and it red-lines at 14 I don't move but like 6 feet maybe a little more but how could I do them where I can go for a while without having high RPM and is it because I do them in first gear?
BTW.. I'm not sure how far I move but I go from about 30 to 60 pretty fast on a wheelie

Moved to Stunter's Corner.
Short answer: you need to find the balance point. Right now you're chasing out the wheelie. If you get her up on her balance point, you can ride a wheelie till you run out of road.
Long answer: someone will prolly help you on how to find the balance point. I don't wheelie (intentionally) so I won't be much help

i would stay in first gear till you get a good feel for clutch ups. the higher the gear the more effort it will take to get the bike up and the faster you are going the lower your balance point will be.
cover your rear brake and practice where your not going to hurt anyone!
P.S. - if you were wondering what the balance point is - it is the point in a wheelie which the bike will stay in a wheelie with no input from the throttle or brake. Once you find it, it feels great. you might want to think about practicing with a dirtbike first tho...

+2 on the dirt bike. I'm 49 and have been stunting for a while and no matter how good you get falling is going to happen. Get a dirt bike or a quad, I enjoy them more. I have a honda xr70 that I just love to stunt. Johnnyh
