Here's the playlist I'll have of each day ua-cam.com/play/PLC0dZgVosHttf8gL3SUEpZR1eayUcihM2.html
Do you have to pull in the clutch first to pull a wheelie, even on the most powerful sportbike? Or will the front tire come up if you just crank the throttle hard at the right RPM? My concern is accidental wheelies. i am not a wheelie person and want to avoid an accidental wheelie, but I also want to be able to crank the throttle without the fear of this happening. It's is not an issue on my '98 Ninja 500, but might be on the new Daytona 660 I hope to own someday.
I think the key to learning wheelies is to practice a maximum of 20-30 mins, after that you're gonna make mistakes with the timing and it will get confusing. It took me a couple of days to finally get it up a couple of feet with my DRZ400SM. But progress will only happen the next session and not in the same session. I find that very weird but I think that's how our brains work when learning a new skill. So after a couple runs just call it a day
The brain "digests" the experience you've made over the day when you sleep so that could be one explanation why things get better the next day.
Yep, for muscle memory the body needs to sleep on it, then the next time you get out there, you don't have to 'Think' as much about it...
When learning anything new on a motorcycle. Impatience is your biggest challenge. Motojitsu. You're the man
I started learning wheelies at about the same time, but noticed your videos just today. It’s going slower than I expected, but it is very encouraging to see someone else taking the similar approach! Thanks for posting, keep it up.
hey MotoJitsu,If you want to wheelie at that speed you're going to need more throttle and a more aggressive clutch release. I would recommend learning at slower speeds.
For someone who can ride blindfolded, I didn’t think it would be this hard for you to wheelie.
I watched Day 1 and now this one.
I noticed one small noobie error.. I think...
I notice everytime you go to pop, your face/go pro comes closer to the bars. When people learn wheelies they'll usually do this, it weights the front. Only time you should do the is if you lean in while clutch in then lean back decompressing the front as you clutch out and throttle.
But at this point, I wouldn't worry about compressing/decompressing. So just don't lean forward as you pop.
If you read my previous comment on your last video about clutch ups being like aggressive take offs... Adding to that..
When you take off, once the clutch is fully out you keep adding throttle (progressively and smoothly). Likewise with wheelies, the initial clutch pop, is just that, the pop. It allows you to get that boost so the smooth throttle afterwards gets you to the height.
You want the initial clutch pop to get you to a decent 40-55⁰ angle. Any less, and you'll have to add too much follow up throttle to where it'll be a power wheelie really. Practice the pop, till it's high. I highly doubt you will loop just from the pop without follow up throttle.
Once your pops are highish, this is when you start practicing rear brake. And don't stop practicing rear brakes. Don't let wheelies come down, you brake them down. Just to write that in your brain, foot down = wheelie down. Even if was already coming down, just touch the brake. Foot down = wheelie down.
But as you say, nice and steady, learn at your own pace. Just food for thought! Not saying any of my advice is better than anyone elses, just this is how my brain understands wheelies, so maybe your brain understands my brain easier than someone else's. Hope it helps!
I'm highly excited for you!
You were always like top rider in my list of youtubers I like to watch, so I was super surprised when I seen you posted about learning to wheelie!
This is one of the most helpful things I've found about wheelies. I've just started to learn how to wheelie and I'm obviously practising the clutch up first. But I feel like I have to go from 4000 to 8-9000 revs to any any height whatsoever. I ride a cfmoto 450sr so I feel like it's not a power issue, but I feel the need to hold the clutch in a little longer to get higher revs before I release.
I'm using second gear and I try to wheelie at about 30kph
Any clue what I may be doing wrong?
Awesome advice bro, I'm trying to learn as well. Quick question, what height should the brake pedal be adjusted to? Mine is stock height and I have to lift my foot off the peg to engage it.
@@GUNSnDOZES yeah that’s definitely not good. Mine’s not adjustable but I know it should be almost parallel to where you foot sits naturally. So only a slight movement in your ankle is needed to engage the brake. If your foot is coming off the foot peg you are unnecessarily destabilising yourself. You want the back brake to be really easy muscle memory, so when you come up too high and panic you don’t struggle to bring it back down
Motojitsu with your level of control you will easily be able to wheelie soon your a legend mate definitely learn clutch up over rolling on the power unless geared properly or your good at clutch ups and used to the wheel being in the air already you’ll run out of gear quick boom 💥
No he won’t what ?
Went to Wheelie U and this is where you're at? Remind me to stay far away from that place.
Your patience and focus are admirable. Those skills are quite valuable and I am endeavoring to aquire them, along with the many belt-worthy ones. My learning curve is very circumspect (love that word) and convoluted (eh). As a motorcycle "grasshopper"(sorry about the Kung Fu metaphor) i feel I have to attack these exercises from all sides as well as when riding. However, I also realize the importance of formally completing each segment (belt) and I don't want to miss any part of the process.
Having too much fun.... thanks
Setup a camera on a tripod so we can see how high the wheelies go!
Confidence and control are all it really takes. Wheelies take practice, and the faster you are going, the more danger is involved. You also risk more wear and tear on the front suspension with bigger and faster wheelies. It's all about feel. Take your time, get it right, and enjoy learning.
You are always accelerating until you reach balance point.
For higher wheelies you need to get closer to the RPM that yields max torque BEFORE you clutch up or rev up and that can only be done by lower gear or higher speed.
You can do it buddy!! 😎I respect your patience! It’s incredible. Usually 99.9% fails due to not being patient.
So relaxing, I could watch this guy trying to do wheelies all day, loved the skateboarding back story too haha
When I start practicing wheelies again soon I'm gonna try and have a friend film me. Because it always feels like you're up higher than you really are. So being able to see yourself and where you're really at should help you learn and progress.
Love this series. I am learning along with you. I am currently barely getting the front wheel up like you are in this vid. I am in no rush, but I am adamant to learn this new skill. My goal is to learn how and be confident in the wheelie by the end of this riding season. Good luck!
Clutch up is ideal. Allows more control and a slower speed wheelie. It teaches fundamentals used later on especially when you can no longer just toe it up.
Power wheelie gets sketchy because it’s gonna go fast and it kinda slowly comes up, then snaps hard.
Stick with it! I’ve been at it for months with practice every day and am just now hitting balance point and sitting on it and shifting gears and getting a good feel for it.
Have you dropped your bike yet to get to this point? Also what bike are you riding?
This whole thing kind of reminds me of when we had a gungy gunny senior drill instructor with a chest full of ribbons from the Vietnam era, a real Chesty Puller type BUT he could barely qualify as a borderline marksman on the range. Ooooooh RAH! Hang in there Marine, attack those wheelies!!🛵🏍
Excellent video but you can condense day 5-10 into 1 video as this was a very background video or 2nd Chanel video.thanks
I bought a drz110 to learn how to wheelie on. I highly suggest learning on small pitbikes such as a 110, 125 or grom. They are pretty much indestructible so you can loop them a million times and they are perfectly fine. It hurts less to crash a pitbike vs your beautiful dual sport. Secondly since they have so little power it forces you to learn balance point and modulating the rear brake. Whereas with a big bike it's easy to get stuck only doing chasers and never truly learning balance point. Just a word from experience learning wheelies on smaller bikes is more confidence inspiring, and you learn much more quickly too.
Awesome advice bro, I'm trying to learn as well. Quick question, what height should the brake pedal be adjusted to? Mine is stock height and I have to lift my foot off the peg to engage it.
@@GUNSnDOZES most dirtbike levers are kind of high so if you can lower it a bit having it level with the peg makes things a bit more comfortable.
I love the giggle every time you talk about inches 😂
It's great going through the process with you, thanks. So many things we learn when we are "young and reckless" which we take for granted, and there's a big taboo about not being able to do something, too much pride and/or fear of being seen to be incapable. Well sucks to be them. Humility wins the day. Semper fi.
No it's too exaggeratedly slow, as in slow but for him but for us viewers
You used to say, wheelies wasn’t for you. What made you change your mind?
I’m lovin this! I know you’ll get it! You are persistent and determined! 👍🌟🤟🏼😊
20 minutes of my life wasted that I will never get back.
Holy shit you were pretty good at skateboarding then. I like that methodology.
Love this as I’m also learning or was until the ice and snow hit the Uk.
Little baby steps and wins are what I’m doing, build confidence and find my limits. No accidents yet, no incredible wheelies or anything either but getting the bike higher and I’ve not had any scrapes or bangs or looped it yet. Hope you stick at it as I love to see the progress 👍🏻
i have no intention of doing a wheelie, ever. but i find this progression fascinating, and i think the concept applies to many aspects of riding.
Pump the front end down and the shock rebound will assist as you come out with the clutch. I know you want to learn slow and i get what your saying, but for me nothing much happened until I kind of yeeted the throttle slightly more than I thought I should. There is a bit of a fear barrier to cross until you realize your rear brake is your friend.
Awesome advice bro, quick question, what height should the brake pedal be set to? Currently mine is high and I have to lift my foot off the peg to engage it.
Please continue the series!
The next time i suggest you to add a bit of motion of your body: bent your arms a little and bring your torso forward just a few inches and then while popping the clutch bring it back. I noticed that if you do it (even without a big range of motion) the bike will come up with your body and it will feel better: if you stay still and clutch up you feel like the bike is going up and against you but it’s wrong! you have to follow her trust me you will feel much safer.
by the way i like your approach in learning a new skill👏🏻
Awesome advice bro, I'm trying to learn as well. Quick question, what height should the brake pedal be adjusted to? Mine is stock height and I have to lift my foot off the peg to engage it.
This guy is a GOON!!!!
Love this as I'm also learning to wheelie my z125 pro
Funny man, we’re learning at the same time roughly, although, my frustration in my lack of progression brought me here 😂
I like the way you're training. It's very positive. Keep it up man. 🤙
Very methodical approach, hands down !!
Thank you for your service to our country & thank you for your honest approach to riding motorcycles 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
More like service to the Zionist overlords
Love your methods of learning !
When the next part?
Greg....the biggest /most immediate setback is .....don't cover the front brake.....you have no way to effectively modulate the throttle while gripping the brake lever ..that throttle feel is whats needed to eventually hitbalance point...and for now to get acclimated to power distribution via incremental throttle inputs
Awesome advice bro, I'm trying to learn as well. Quick question, what height should the brake pedal be adjusted to? Mine is stock height and I have to lift my foot off the peg to engage it.
@@GUNSnDOZES first...mark where the brake pedal is on the spline.......take rear brake pedal off it....lower down two notches on the spline...try that first..then lower tor your preference.....
Then purposely slam that brake and get used to drop that wheelie down in a hurry....
One you get balance point...you'll want to pull in the clutch instead of hitting the back brake...but that will take the to reach that skill set...be patient and practice on a cheap dirt bike if possible
one thing I heard was thinking about it as rev matching when you downshift but obviously going up
put the camera facing front wheel, i was thinking im improving until i put camera there and see that most of the times only expanding suspension, wheel doesn't come up at all
26 years riding and only just learned to wheelie last year.
try make 2 clutchups in row and you'll see the second one will be nice cuz of the bounce
Are you still practicing?
Don't fear looping its what your signing up for. fear will cause you to make misinformed actions. start slow and record your self so you can see that your not as far back as you think. you have alot more room for error(to much throttle) than you think and avoid chasing the wheelie practice reaching balance point. thats my two cents. love the channel 👍
you just need to commit more , cover the back break you'll be fine! i get my bike up easy but find myself leaning forward when its up out of fear of flipping a brand new bike 😂
Thank you for showing your hands. The timing is difficult and scary.
If I were you, I would try to find a small dirtbike and some grass. You could do it and your bike can definitely do it but I think part of it is it’s an expensive bike it’s new to you and you don’t wanna wreck it or get hurt. if you get a little dirt bike, find some grass it’s not gonna be that big a deal if you flip it and just work your way up, that’s a lot of bike to start learning wheelies on.
To protect your fork seals a bit use a bit more throttle as the front wheel comes down to lighten the impact.
Hello sir. Ridesafe always. Hope you shoutout me to your next video 😎😁😊from japan
yes Eddie on the wheelies,
I am in practice to and agree on what your saying, quick one for you.
over reach which your throttle wrist trust me
doing that you will lift it more easy.
1st gear slow roll over reach with wrist, maintain steady throttle.
rear brake on enough to drag.
throttle roll on blip the clutch and let off rear brake.
11 to 12 o'clock you will get.
1 more thing for wheelies do not have brake fingers over the leaver.
why because you can not over reach whith the throttle.
people remember this any one who learned to do bad arse wheelies they did it on a stolen bike ect.
nobody wants to brake there own bike I know I don't.
once you download muscle skills.
start going from 1st into 2nd.
to do it do not use clutch just let off throttle and press up fast.
when doing that the bike will want to drop.
use more throttle remember rear brake!
once the bike feels light you are at balance point.
at that point you should be on less throttle and touching rear brake on off to maintain balance point.
Awesome advice bro, I'm trying to learn as well. Quick question, what height should the brake pedal be adjusted to? Mine is stock height and I have to lift my foot off the peg to engage it.
stock rear brake is ok, only way you will feel a difference is if you had racing rear sets on.
I have them but no rear passenger pegs.
once you have got the feel for the bike lifting, and you start to go higher.
just as the bike wants to drop nurse it down with some throttle.
I am 161cm tall, and just over 9 stone, my bike is a 1998 honda cbr 600 f3, race tune ect, that's a heavy bike man just under 200kg steel frame.
I have to give it some to get it up, once up the rear brake is there in case you go to far back.
if so just a stoke will bring you back.
whe. you set up for the wheelie your only using rear brake for a moment to create a push and pull effect for the kinetic energy to do its thing more smoothly.
i would say instead of pulling the clutch in then letting it out just give it a tap in one quick motion.
The more you push your bike to the limits off the road, the safer you will be on the road because you will understand where its limitations are. 👍
This is the only way to learn most things safely
If you have a flat front tire, you can still ride home with the rear tire only.
Haha makes me feel a whole lot better about my wheelies 😅 im an expert in bicycle wheelies but doing it on a motorcycle takes wayyy more courage, the biggest problem i have is the reflex for the rear brake,on my bicycle is a hand brake and on a bike is a foot brake ,i cant brake that habit ,when ever i feel like im gonna loop it i press the front brake ...luckily the engine braking saves my ass,the key is not giving up,just keep trying..
Would be interesting if there was a datalog feature for bikes like there is on cars to see throttle input etc each episode
A husqy is one of the perfect bikes for doing long wheelies but I prefer to stay on the ground with my cb500 😉
You're getting the hang of it dude. Clutch up then bring it down with foot brake.
your letting the clutch out by hand lol..let go of the clutch...pull it in then let it go as fast as possible.
Where in SD is this?
Going strong 👍🏻
I am practising the same way
I kind of like your slow approach to learning. Many years ago I watched a western I think it was Bridget Bardot and she wanted to shoot the man who killed her father or husband or whatever and she hired a guy to teach her to draw and shoot a gun. I don't remember much about the film but the one thing I have remembered and applied to many aspects of life is that she was trying to draw fast straight away and he told her this: first comes right, then comes fast. This works for anything that you are learning.
In the words of a great mentor.
SHUT UP AND PRACTICE!
When you pop the clutch keep gas open a litle bit time
grab a grip strength trainer. hold it half way shut, and try making 1mm adjustments
Are you weight shifting while you dump the clutch. This point you are at is the worst. You need to transition past that low wheelie with more than the throttle. Pulling on the bars while shifting weight back is key to low throttle input while getting the front wheel over that transition point. This is often used in dirt riding to get the front wheel to clear a log. That 701 will wheelie on the throttle but that transition just using the throttle is too quick. Using body English is key to doing slowly. Wheelies on a Grom require more English and the motor can’t help you much so you will find yourself being better at pumping-dumping&shifting weight as the same motion on all motorcycles that you wheelie. Pump suspension with your arms pushing bar down. Pull and dump clutch at same time while shift weight back. Head and shoulders go past your butt and aren’t forward or above butt. This motion makes a smoother and slower wheelie. Using just clutch and motor is possible but it is not correct if you are learning. Watch dirt bike videos on wheelies over logs. It that same motion that slows the front end so it comes up predictable. Good luck
Awesome advice bro, I'm trying to learn as well. Quick question, what height should the brake pedal be adjusted to? Mine is stock height and I have to lift my foot off the peg to engage it.
Hey MotoJistu. Will you keep practising your wheelies now that you that you traded in this bike for the S1000R? I really like your approach to learning new skills and I'm eager to see you succeed in this one :)
Maybe MJ said and I missed it. Can he ride a wheelie on a bicycle?
I never could ride a wheelie on a bicycle, dirt bike, or quad. Just could never find the balance point. Probably too afraid to crash to stick with it.
Don’t think getting it up is the issue.
Will be interesting to watch the progress.
I am learning also watching you! I can relate realy good with the "do it with sense "aproach :) You said 25miles and you no giving extra gass as the clutch is pulled the revs go up.
Is it sensable to say that the result is a only a bunny hop max because the real wheel is already in the rollingspeed matching the rev's ? So my gues would be to make it easier give a little bit more gas to make the wheel want to go up a little more? good work do by the way! and to mension. your'e app is a great practice tool! love it!
Like everything it is bike control, knowing how is good, doesn’t mean you are going 100 miles on the rear wheel every day.
Love all the vids bro I’m learning wheelies right now also. I’d love to go on a ride sometime I’m all the way up in OC tho
You can go a tooth less of the front sprocket. This bike will wheelie sooo easy with that mod! (I have the 690 enduro R - more or less the same bike.)
I just didn't like the feeling of practicing wheelie on my second day already mainly because of thinking I'm slowly damaging suspension, clutch...
You literally are not, motorcycle clutches are different than car clutches, meant to last for an insane amount of use. Get back out there your bike will be fine.
Its my goal to get wheelies down on my cbr 954 this year, started practicing them a bit last year, then stepped away from doing them so much and started practicing them on my bicycle, i spent 15 min every night practicing wheelies on my bicycle for 2 months n can now wheelie a bicycle probably 100 ft, so hoping if i apply same amount of practice to my motorcycle this year i will be able to go a lot farther and higher with my wheelies, for me its scary when the bike comes up higher than i expect it to, hoping that my hand brake coordination i learned on my bicylce will translate to my foot brake on my motorcycle as i rode bicycle with rear brake on both right hand side and left hand side and was pretty much the same muscle memory to hit it when i got too high so hoping my foot will work the same, can you wheelie a bicycle?
Have you considered changing the sprocket?
Are you wearing your e turtle airbag vest in this video? I’m looking to purchase one but I am worried it will deploy when I’m doing wheelies. I emailed helite they didn’t have a definite answer on it. They said I could push the limits of the system but were not sure. So I’m hoping to find someone who has done some real world test.
You should reach out to some of the west coast connection guys there are some by you and they likely would be willing to help out.
Small light 125cc or less Chinese dirt bike on a grassy field, so if drop no problem. You will have no inhibitions about flinging the bike all over the place. Gear up pad up. When you are an adult, that asphalt is scary. I could be wrong.
You can’t be that good at skating and quit to never do it again. Start skating again. I’d watch that
The more times you do something wrong the more you reinforce that bad habbit
Yup
Have you tried standing up then trying to wheelie? Maybe get comfortable with the bike up and knowing what it feels like.
Wheelie definition: Bad for your clutch, front forks seals, engine oil starvation due to angle of oil pickup tube, no control on one wheel, for looks only. But hey if you enjoy do it. !
....things people who don't know how to wheelie would say? JK
Took me a few weeks but I was 12 years old
The KTM 690 wheelies better.
Greg,
Don’t you know by now that people sitting on the couch in their mom’s basement know how to wheelie better than you?
Just call them episodes, haha. Then you don't have to worry about matching the whole number video and number day thing.
Quite hilarious how someone accused you of encouraging people to do wheelies. Not once have you said to anyone that they should or need to do a wheelie lmoa
Needs way, way more throttle. Like twice as much at least.
I told you need to learn how to wheelie
I think you should watch tarzan moto vlogs for his tutorial.
When he said he was in the USMC my respect went from 100% to 1000000% just like that
Not criticizing - love your videos - but you could have titled it Learning to Wheelie: Days 2-3...or something to that effect. Keep up the great content!
T
HELL YEAH!! Oh damn that thumb nail throw me way of but STILL, SIIIIIIIIICK!
Hi Moto Jitsu, there seems to be a pirate trying to scam us using your name. Contacted me saying I have won an E bike after several messages I was told to pay 40% of the delivery cost to France. Please put out a warning so nobody gets caught.
Crosstourertony ✌️
I already did, in the description at the bottom of every single one of my videos. Go look.
mai plictisitor de atat, nu ai cum
