Rado - I've ridden for 50+ years now and, I swear, the most difficult thing for me to learn was to wheelie to the height and distance that I wanted to carry the front end. Most of my riding was either desert in Wyoming or woods riding in Michigan. In WY the trails are many times in big rocks and the ability to get the front end over those rocks to avoid damage to both the bike and myself. In the Michigan woods they must drop dead trees out of the sky because you will come around a corner and, damn!!, there is one! You don't have time to think and it must be automatic. Toward the end of my riding, I still had trouble many times getting it just right. Dunno if I'll be doing much of that anymore as I'm 75 and scheduled for at least one new knee and maybe two and a shoulder.......it is hell getting old. Good luck, my friend, and don't be afraid to fall on your butt learning this technique. Tom P.S. the pivot turn is a really handy move!
I live and ride in Michigan and know exactly what you mean, I'm healing from an accident with a fallen tree that was laying on the side of the track at Cedar Creek, washed out the front end in a turn.
@@JacobSnover In the fall the leaves pile up on the trail and are slippery as deer guts when they get wet. I lost the front end on the slick, wet leaves and hit an old oak about the size of a redwood. Needless to say, I didn't move the tree much. I laid there for 30 minutes......you know how it goes.....you don't hurt until you breathe and I could only hold my breath for about 25 minutes........then when you breathe you damn-near pass out. I was working for Dow Chemical in Midland as a research chemist at that point. The riding is awesome, especially in the U.P. I was riding a YZ400....certainly not the thing in the woods. I switched to Husqvarna WR and quit hitting trees.......did hit a deer once, tho, when it ran across in front of me.....almost ended up on my lap.
I am 5’-9” and did the same thing back in 2020…bought a low-time KX100 to work on “Garvis” moves in my back yard. It works! I love that bike! It has a surprisingly low first gear too. Great video!
I just got the kx112 as my first motocross bike as an adult. I had trail bikes for the last 2 years but wanted something with better components and I really wanted a 2 stroke. I had a yz125x on order but I dont have a ton of time to ride so I saw this video and said screw it when I saw my local dealer got in a kx112. Sure it's not a full sized bike but I wanted it to gain skills. Ill upgrade in a few years when I'm sick of this one and hopefully I'm a better rider.
@@dirtniron definitely like the 2 stroke engine compared to the gutless trail bikes. Love the light weight too! Hoping going to grow my skills and have fun
@@davidlewis3744 If you like the small engine but want a full size bike… TM Racing let’s you order an 85 to 114 cc engine in the full size TM 125 frame.
Yea the 125x is the choice for taller guys for sure I am only 5'8" tho and love my kx100 Shame they don't make an enduro version of the 112 similar to the yz125x
I can ride a 4 stroke wheeie really good and carry it, but ive had a 2 stroke and wanted to have fun with friends and learn to do wheelies with a 2 stroke
A 125 is in no way a supermini. If anything the superminis are just 125s for kids. A 125 is a full size race bike ridden by skilled racers. If anything a 250f would be a better adult bike to start on.

I'm 58 and Tuesday I go to see if I get a new hip. This would be a perfect fun bike to go play in the trails again.

Just got a 21 kx100 recently really enjoying the bike
I'm the same height and everything and I love my KX100 I can throw that thing around like nothing 2016
I ride 250 2 strokes n still go back to the 85-100 2 strokes to try stuff
I miss my kx85 bored to a 105. It was so fun but I out grew it and had to get a bigger one
thanks for sharing Liam!
@@dirtniron thanks for replying XD
Nice tips ... thanks for sharing this ...
you got it bro!
That dude knows how to ride a motorcycle. Holy shit

@@davidlewis3744how’s it now?
Wow nice amazing practice makes perfect goodjob
Thank you! Cheers!
At 6'2" a 112 would be too small I think? But A YZ125X would be perfect for these kind of drills!
yea, that makes sense
Yea the 125x is the choice for taller guys for sure
I am only 5'8" tho and love my kx100
Shame they don't make an enduro version of the 112 similar to the yz125x
I have a cr85 set up as a pit bike and it swear I have too much fun with it
right on!
Great skills!
Thank you! Cheers!

I can ride a 4 stroke wheeie really good and carry it, but ive had a 2 stroke and wanted to have fun with friends and learn to do wheelies with a 2 stroke
The only problem is I never really use my rear brake I just found the sweet spot on it
1st or 2nd gear
1st gear for the wheelies
Are you popping ur wheelie from 1st gear ?
yes, 1st gear
My front forks on mine seems more stiff then what this one looks like in the video
What is the Top Speed for the KX112?
Speed of light my friend.
70 mph stock
Nice wheelie video. And how to do a wheelie 👍
Thanks 👍
👏
Is the KX112 any bigger than a CR85RB and CRF150RB?
it has a big wheels, frame is same like on kx85
All big wheel 85s or 150r are the same size. Wheel size and seat height is all you need to know
@@rainemiller3567 Thanks, I just finished building my own, using a modified '89 CR125 frame for a bigger riders compartment.
@@jpmorgen5726 personally I would just ride the 125 at that point but you do you lol
@@rainemiller3567 I have three 90's CR125's already, I like small light bikes, and we have an adult mini race once a year.

I’m 12 and probably getting ready to hit my growth spurt but I have a 2023 kx 112 should I keep it as a pit bike?
I’d sell it for the money then use the money you get to buy a new bike
How tall are you ?
What’s the power difference between the 112 and the crf150rb?
112 is faster, not sure the exact numbers
Im going to get 1 i promise 🙏🏾💯
So Did u end up getting one?
@@livefreetoolreview6110 ion gone lie I took my mind off these mfers so long ago yz450 now🔥
The small bikes can and will bite you quick!
its a sharp bike for sure!
Big ones dont?
@@geraltofrivia4651big bikes are heavy. This one isn’t. About as fast as a 125 with a smaller wheelbase will catch you off guard

It's still a kids bike. I always say the 125 2 stroke is the ADULT supermini. People sleep on 125 2 strokes sometimes.
A yz125 is all they need
