Im new to wheelies and I wanted to ask if this is a correct conclusion:

it doesnt matter how fast your going and how high your rpm is when you grab the clutch, what matters is how much you bring the rpm up after you grab the clutch.

Example: The Rpm was 7k and I tried wheelie at 11k-12k but it didnt pop up

however when i was at 5k and i tried wheelie at 11k-10k and it pops up

is this correct?

Thanks!

 

well try to clutch it around the power band and while accelerating of course

 

Hard to say, are you sliping the clutch or pulling it in all the way? depends on your gearing too. are you on stock gears? Go up 2 in rear, or down 1 in front and try again.

 

I actually pull it all the way. is that wrong?

yeah im on stock gears. go up 2 in rear and 1 down in front? you mean my sprockets?

I mean i got up pretty damn far, i DID lots of wheelies but any other tips would be great. cuz im new as hell

 

You have an f3 correct? And do you have 15/43 sprockets?

Because with these stock sprockets you should have ease in 1st, and even 2nd gear, as you get better.

If you're at 7k in w/e gear and you clutch-rev. to 11k, then that means you're moving faster than when at 5k.

Leaning back on the seat more (if doing sit-downs) will help you when you're trying to pop it up, when moving faster!

 

yea, its all got to do with the physics as in your speed and how fast the tire is rolling. There are no RPMs that you should shoot for. I would just say keep it around powerband.

 

try going 5 mph. feels like almost a dead stop. rev it to 8 - 10rpm and hold it.

 

if you go to 7k in first then rev to 8 or 9 k it will come up nicely.

 

Are you SERIOUS?! he would do back flips.

 

whats the diff betweeen slipping the clutch and pullin it in all the way
