@@TheMxFactory You've got one student right here! If you were to come over, my recommendation would be to float the idea on social media - see how many followers you have from NZ, and gauge interest.

I could sort out a good couple of days for you guys to ride and check out my home if you were to come to nz plus I ride a fire breathing honda aswell haha
I used to have a 1989 Yamaha TT600, and I could do wheelies with it. I would ride slowly in third gear and then pop the clutch while pulling on the handlebars. The front wheel lifted smoothly and stayed up without any issues. I never used the rear brake because as soon as I eased off the throttle, the front wheel would come back down immediately, so I never worried about flipping over. I felt completely in control and wasn't afraid of falling backward. I would keep the wheelie going until I reached the top speed I was comfortable with in third gear, then I would stop. I tried shifting up a few times during the wheelie, but it never worked well for me. Recently, I was talking to a friend, and he mentioned that what I was doing was more of a "speed wheelie" rather than a "real" wheelie. He explained that a real wheelie involves reaching the "balance point," where you need to use the rear brake to maintain control. Since cutting the throttle causes the front wheel to come down immediately, does that mean I'm not at the balance point? What do you think? Thanks.
Loved the video man! But one thing I was hoping you would touch on for the people actually trying to learn is when and why you would pull a standing wheelie vs sitting! I know your just touching on basics but I feel like with most trails that people will be running and learning on will be quite rough where i find standing gives far more control! Better to learn real enviroment usable wheelies off the hop in my opinion!
I wouldn’t say (or admit) to being a beginner, but I’ve never been able to constantly pull and hold a controlled wheelie. Look forward to watching through this video and taking some notes to try. Would you say a 4 stroke is easier than a 2 stroke? I find with 2 strokes the power band never works to my advantage.
4 strokes are easier to learn anything on because they are such smooth, linear throttle responses. 2 strokes only have the linear at the low RPM, then they SLAM the powerband and it's too inconsistent to learn on. I have a 2000 CR250 and am trading it for a 19 CRF250R because I have never ridden dirt bikes always was a quad guy.
@@JMKGarage I love the bike, but being that I've never really ridden a dirt bike before and just getting into riding tracks, I traded my buddy for 2 days and felt at home on the CRF and he had a blast on the CR. Well he had so much fun that it roasted the piston and cylinder wall, so I'm waiting on parts, but as soon as it's fixed we agreed to trade and we'll both be on "new" bikes😂
@@ClutchMTB24 hahaha, sounds like he definitely enjoyed it then if he was pushing it that hard. A 250cc 2-stroke is definitely a wild bike to try learning on.
Hey i did a wheelie today and slammed the front pretty hard, thought I heard something and now it feels a bit more vibraty, also when I when I'm on my bike I would have to tip toe to back it up since I'm short but now I feel like more of my feet can touch the ground like my bike is lower?? Any thoughts??😅😐😔 got a zx6r
is it just me that no matter what i do i can NOT get the front end up? i ride a 2024 yz250f and for some reason its so hard for me to get the front end up. im trying to learn how to wheelie and i want to do it but i need help.
Your other video might be a little better, where you say to start with little wheelies and hit the back brake and get used to that, and the part where you say to load the front suspension using the front brake, and maybe putting your weight down into it too. But definitely the first two.
its so hard on a 2 stroke. At least for me. I am afraid of hitting too much power band and looping so I either barely get the wheel up, or I bring it up too quick and I panic and cant ride it out
Depends on the bike man my yz 450f i wheelie all gears 5th is nice tho because you don’t need to touch your back brake as much in high gear in my experience
When your starting definitely use the back break but when you know where you balance point is and you know how to control your throttle ect the back break isn’t as nessasery (4stroke engine braking) but on a 2 stroke it’s the opposite 😂
How many degrees of arc are there in the balance zone without brake, clutch, or throttle? More of an engineering problem……. I want to know without having to enter back flip. I’m an old guy, and almost there, guess it’s time to just feel it and use the brake. I feel better if someone figured out there were 3-5 degrees up there to play around it.
Is it just me or is that bike fkn HUGE!! He's either 5ft 2 or that's a tall horse. I've got a retro scrambler but it's not a full dirt bike and that's tall but shit man!! 😮

Hello, i just ordered my first bike. I watched *LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE TUTORIAL* so thank you for helping me out
How do u order a bike
Glad I could help!
When in doubt. Throttle out
@@joemccarthy1991 I halfway looped out my first slow wheelie, definitely harder on a 4 stroke at real slow speeds
What bike

Awesome video!! Feels so weird to find the balance point. It's waaaay higher than I first thought. 💪🔥
wow you explain this very smoothly
“Just little throttle bites” haha i love this explanation 😂 sounds like were teaching toddlers lmao

a wheelie is a wheelie mate. fuck yer pal
Awesome vid and entered for the video series.
Was out most the day trying this!
Keep up the great work ✌
So how do you think you did on scale 1-10 10 being you pretty much mastered the concept and are able to wheelie
What gear should u do it in
thanks! been riding all my life and long controlled wheelies still mystify me :/ these tips look helpful, cant wait to try them out.
Any progress
Yeah, any progress so far?
I looped out 5 times today
Priceless tips.

In which gear do you use for wheelie? Ive want to get these answers frim
All these videos but havent found one yet.
You r my very favorite dirt bike youtuber
Respect for that Brother
My buddy nick needs this video
any tips i cant get my front tire even off the ground doing this

@@ClutchMTB24 I would much rather have the CR250, although the CRF will be much more manageable to ride, and still fun. (Race) quads are a blast.

Can you do one on lofting the front wheel over rollers and keeping the rear wheel down.
I’m kinda late but does it matter wha gear your in
Thanks you great teacher 👍
when i give it throttle to pop the clutch how much throttle do i need just to get the front end up?
So are you lightly using the clutch during the actual wheelie to control the slow speed?
What gear is recommended?

Yeah you blew out the fork seals lol thats why the bike sits lower and is easier to mount and dismount.
Great vid, as always.
This helps- cheers buddy👍
is it just me that no matter what i do i can NOT get the front end up? i ride a 2024 yz250f and for some reason its so hard for me to get the front end up. im trying to learn how to wheelie and i want to do it but i need help.
Currently sat in a field on my kx watching this lol
Its best to start training this with first gear i suppose?
Can’t relate lmao. I just wish I could say the same about whips. Anyway dope video though 😂 Good explanations!
i cant stop looking at that spider web flying around connected to the bike lol.
What’s a good gear to be in
What about learning on a 2 stroke?
Great Tips
Great info!
What bike do you have
What about the 150cc? It's hard to wheelie it for small amount of throttle.
Your other video might be a little better, where you say to start with little wheelies and hit the back brake and get used to that, and the part where you say to load the front suspension using the front brake, and maybe putting your weight down into it too. But definitely the first two.

its so hard on a 2 stroke. At least for me. I am afraid of hitting too much power band and looping so I either barely get the wheel up, or I bring it up too quick and I panic and cant ride it out
I got a 150rb is that a good bike? It’s a 2009
what about a 2 stroke with no engine braking ?
Good video!
Hey what gear should I be in on a two stroke
Good practical instruction👍does it ever rain in Texas!!!
Rarely however as I comment it has been raining 10 hours straight.
is it the same to wheelie on a honda 1995 250cc 2 stroke
Hello tldo you fallow the same steps I'f your learning on a 450?
Yeah he is rideing a 450
man, I have a xr 650r, should it be easier? because the pig scares the shit out of me when i think on whillies
i wanna learn how to wheelie but i have a 150cc evoqu bike whicj is really hard any tips
dump the clutch and pin it
That’s called “How to loop out… like a pro” 😂
Hey so I'm 12 and I'm just getting into racing but I have been riding off track for a while what do you think my chances are of making it pro?
That’s up to you
None, absolutely none
mate there’s no. chances it’s just practise
What gear you use normally for wheelies?
Depends on the bike man my yz 450f i wheelie all gears 5th is nice tho because you don’t need to touch your back brake as much in high gear in my experience
Thanks so much
You're welcome!
How do you like those boots??
what if the bike i have cant clutch pop bc of the lack of power
I have a difficult time just trying to keep the front end down on my 2022 KTM 500 EXC-F Six Days motorcycle.
Sick 😂
Ok so I'm new to the vids but I have a problem 1 first gear red lines to fast bit 2 gear I can't get the frot wheel up and I don't have a clutch
Looks like you got the hang of it😂
@Logantortello33 yeah lol took my a few years
my bike always goes to the left or right when the front wheel stops turning and then I can no longer 'steer' the wheelie
Wat do you think of tm 85
Great bike ;)
Can you do a wheelie race
what track do you guys recommend for a beginner near Austin Texas?
Murphy’s mx
We are based in Austin, did you know that? I would says spoaks, Murphy’s, Austin moto park.
@@TheMxFactorythanks!
Wheelie in first gear right?
Second is best
@@jamesmilombe3241 thank you
I cant pop it up the front wheel isnt even close to being up
I’ve raced for years, I can whip and scrub but I suck at wheelies!
when i'm wheeling i just get dragged / fall randomly left or right with dirt bikes why is that? Any advice?
Need to keep even amount of weight on each peg, same with handle bars
i really wanna learn how to wheeli but i have a crf250f trail bike and it makes it feel like i dont have enough power to get it up
you have plenty of power, just work on throttle/clutch timing and you will get it.
@@TM-lw8wn ok thanks
I can't even touch floor on my motorbike so I feel Ive got more fear than my taller mates
I'm 13 60 kg and 5,6 I'm new to motor cross rarely ride my friends bikes but I'm buying a 250 for 100 bucks you think I got it?
2 stroke or 4 stroke either way 100bucks seem to be really cheap
My back breaks are buns but ima still learn 😂
I tried so hard to pay attention but that f-ing spider web….
First gear
Whats up!!!
Could I do this with my 4 stroke Kawasaki 140L?
Should be able to I can do them pretty easy on my 110 l
Can slow wheelie those forever. KLX family of bikes are great bikes to wheelie around on.
I can get my bike up no clutch I j power it up but I can’t hold it for very long and I don’t want to shift mid wheelie what do I do
Hold the brake very lightly
When your starting definitely use the back break but when you know where you balance point is and you know how to control your throttle ect the back break isn’t as nessasery (4stroke engine braking) but on a 2 stroke it’s the opposite 😂

What if my bike dont have a rear brake
I followed the steps but I can get my wheel 6in off the ground what could I be doing wrong. P.s I am on a Ttr-125
Whats wrong is the bike 😂, i had one before they are fucking tanks can lift them but its possible
I know right so dang heavy
On a ttr 125 you need to pop the clutch because the bike doesn't have that much power
How about a ttr 240? R they heavy also for wheelie?
What gear do I wheelie in
Normal gear
2nd
@@Blackgelato too low. gonna loop out. bad advice
@@Baboner984no

why dont you mention what gear you star off in?
Because it’s obvious
Hi
What up?!
I can get the bike up, but as soon as it gets up it just drops back down I can’t keep it
Thanks i tried i sucsedeed also almost died lol

thanks and love the vids and tips

thank you bro love the vids and tips
Why does no one ever talk about that to get maximum traction and to make wheelies easier you need to compress the bike evenly in a neutral position
Is it just me or is that bike fkn HUGE!! He's either 5ft 2 or that's a tall horse. I've got a retro scrambler but it's not a full dirt bike and that's tall but shit man!! 😮
I am not a beginner but I have just never tried to wheelie
If you're good any gear
i dont have a rear break
it's time to go practice!!
Let’s goooo!

Thanks for watching!
