RE: Quick question // Wheelie
everyone feels uncomfortable for the first few standups at LEAST. It eventually grows on you and is completely comfortable. Its also a little easier to throw your weight around and steer the bike compared to sit downs. Youve obviously got the sit downs pretty decent if your doing what you say your doing, so just go out and practice them. As with anything else, take it slow. work your way up till your clutching them to balance point.
+1 on clutching them up
+1 for not worrying about rpm range/speed all that, its too much to think about. just listen to the bike, youll get it

DONT STAND IT UP IN FIRST. The way I was taught.is like this. Go to a safe area were there is NO other traffic. Get the bike upto where it starts really making power in 2nd gear. ie.(ALL THESE STEPS HAVE TO BE IN A FLUID MOTION1. somwhere around 8 or 9k Rpm and up (approximately). Let off the Throttle, as you2. Stand up and litlerally bounce down on the bike Hard to compress the suspension,3 RIght as the suspension starts to decompress. Wack the throttle. And you kinda push down and forward at the same time with your legs on the pegs, And the front should come right up. DONT pull on the Clip ons( handle bars) You'll have a tuff time pulling up the front evenly. Just use the throttle, YOur and your Legs. AGAIN I would not TRY this in First Gear, Not a good Idea, It will come up to fast and you'll just end up slamming the front down( Bad on the fork seals) Plus If you do get it Up. You'll run out of power to quick and set it down hard. JUST REMEMBER PLEASE BE CAREFUL, ITS INevitable That We all Get A little nutz sometimes. Just know when to be stupid. Where YOUR GEAR. And take your time Learning, Preferably on a road with no Side streets AND NO traffic. BE CAREFUL bro.
PS when u first start doing it. YOUR GONNA FEEL LIKE THE BIKE it 3 feet higher off the ground then it really is. so take it slow
DISCLAIMER: I dont endorse Doing wheelies, I get more of a thrill out of track ridiing, But lets face it , Pulling it up here and there is Fun. Be Careful bro.Cheers
