Do Wheelies Damage Your Clutch?

Some people seem to think doing clutch up wheelies will damage your clutch, but how? You're literally using the clutch just like you're shifting gears except you stay in the same gear while performing the clutch up wheelie. Thought this would be a great topic of discussion.

Obviously this is if you’re doing them correctly, if you’re burning the clutch too long then it will likely cause premature wear. Have fun and ride safe guys n gals! 🤠
How tight should be the clutch, and also does chain slack matter . What about the front and rear suspension settings they need to be hard or smooth??? Answering these wud help a lot 🙄
Always love your videos your the reason I can do stand ups and wheelies in general for that matter lol. 💪
Akshay akku of course your chain slack should be proper, as well as your suspension should be dialed in for YOU. Wheelies don’t need special adjustments to your bike unless you’re stunting.
Travis thanks a lot man! Keep that front wheel up 😁👍🏻
@@SALTxTHExWOUND clear on chain slack , but yeah ofcourse suspension setting for ME but what kind smooth comfort settings or hard race settings???
I don't know.......you're just some dude on UA-cam.......I'm gonna wait and see what the "experts" in the comments section say about it🤣🤣
This is exactly why I made this video. I need to get the experts opinion! 😂👌🏻
If you don't make videos, you're obviously a clueless moron.
Heck yeah. I don’t have to worry about messing my clutch up, only wrecking lol.
PUNISHER865 lol 😂
I havent noticed any crazy wear on my clutch disks from doing wheelies. It's a wet clutch system so the lubrication I'm sure helps.
It will wear out your clutch about as much as a launch from a complete stop. The bike is literally made to do it.
Thinking about getting a motorcycle. I’ve never ridden. Your videos are definitely pushing me to take the next step
msixhun6206 its an amazing sport, highly addictive! I say do it! 😁
Take an msf course. You'll be addicted
Do they provide or do I need to provide my own motorcycle
Love your videos man, stay humble my friend.
Love the vids man keep it up bro 🤙🏻
AC Alloys thanks a lot brother! 👊🏻
Not gonna lie you make it look so much fun. Might get a cage next year and start practicing
HFR83 warning: its highly addictive! Haha 😂
I just wanted to say i love your videos , greetings from germany 🇩🇪✌
J. M. Thank you very much!! 😁
You r insane thx for making my day
FYB dixy haha you got it!
Just like you said if it's done right you won't an with my built gsxr 1000 I do power wheelies good video thought
Wheelies are good for the mental health and general satisfaction!
That’s all that counts 😂🤙
Cheers
I literally just walked into the house from trying wheelies and was wondering this and this popped up into the recommended
SquidCity excellent timing!
I learned clutch wheelies recently on my v4 and my clutch just blew. I have been doing a lot of them recently, I was just quickly slipping the clutch.. what do you think happened?
I'm getting close but I just messed up my clutch but reviewing my mistakes I was just to heavy on everything and didnt do it as a fast smooth motion only learn by trying tho🤷🏽♂️
I had to replace my Honda Grom clutch because they are trash from factory, but it wouldn't wheelie until I changed it...
Good topic. When you were learning wheelies, how many time did you drop your bike? If ever you did.
Kevin Levy luckily I never dropped it, although I had 2-3 close calls 😅
Jesus, how long is this straightaway before the curve? couldn't ask for a better road to do these on.
J Rods haha one of the pros to living in Florida is we do have some nice straights 😁
I wish FL had more twisties, the endless straights get pretty monotonous. Can't wait to get up to foothills parkway and deal's gap in a couple weeks.
anyone seen a Fulldress Harley touring bike do a stand up? I did for the first time this year. old dude impressed the shit out of me 😆
J Rods I’ve only seen it done on Instagram lol
amazing vid
James Korkes thank you! 😁
I burnt out my clutch today very first day of ever trying to wheelie. Did a few 1st gear sit down clutch ups got the front end up a foot at most. Left parking lot got up to 50 and boom so much slipping at high rpm fml
Sorry to hear that man, I've never burned out a clutch fortunately. 30K on this bike, 25K on my last bike, at least it's an inexpensive fix.
Bro I watched your video and tried wheelies and got addicted and now I have bike problems lmao jk I have a zx6r 2008 it sounds like I have a clogged fuel pump which is annoying
Before I even started riding I've wanted to learn to wheelie (a lot of which is your fault btw). I've now been riding for about a year and a half and I haven't built up the courage to pop a wheelie. Mainly because I don't wana crash my bike..again
idk sometimes you gotta crash to get better man. I learned how to wheelie 3 years ago watching this guy and downshift83. Crashed 2 times learning but after each crash I got better now I’m doing stand ups consistently and haven’t crashed in 2 years. You got it man 💪
I had a 600 3 years for six months. Sold and just got a 1000 3 months ago. I've mentally accepted that I'm going to loop it eventually learning wheelies, but I'm at peace with it. To me its worth it to learn this skill I've always wanted to have. Thankfully I haven't crashed yet and they are getting high enough that I cant see over the front of the bike while sitting down. Just got to go for it.
@@travis6951 The thing I'm worried about is having to go through fixing the bike again or worst case scenario totaling the bike. The first fall I had was pretty small but the repairs still costed quite a lot so I don't really want to have to fix the bike again. But yeah eventually I'll probably just push myself to do it!
idk Carry full coverage bro
Get a cage and engine sliders. I'm gonna keep my current bike and buy another then use one for practicing wheelies
All the people that say wheelies burn out your clutch, are probably the same knuckleheads who blast the rev limiter 10 times when someone cuts them off. Wheelies are less detrimental to the clutch than that stuff. The only thing that wheelies put stress on is the drivetrain (chain, sprockets, and tires). I'd be more concerned about wearing the center of my tire flat before anything mechanical on the bike. They are built for high speed, high torque abuse.
Paul absolutely! 💯👌🏻
Paul don’t they damage the engine? I want to start practicing wheelies but I really don’t want to ruin my engine in a month lol
Agree 100% Wheelie on! 👍
David & Elizabeth 🤠👍🏻
One like for you love your bike.
Subodh 🙏🏻
On a lower cc bike like a 125cc yes you'll wear your clutch cause obviously you need to rev it much higher and stress your clutch a lot.... on a 1000cc or 600cc cause it has loads of power the clutch won't be that stressed to pop a wheelie cause with just a slight twist of the throttle you'll be pointing at the sky.... 😂😂
Yeah my transmission/ clutch are fucked up because of wheelie practice
Wheelies still silky smooth man.
xxSTONExx appreciate it bro!
Was salt in 2nd gear when he pop that wheelie?
Orlando Sanchez 3rd 👍🏻
25 year rider and mechanic here. If you pull your clutch in at high rev for any reason and drop it... youre damaging it. Literally anything longer than to shift up or down and you're causing unnecessary wear. Same for those fools who like to pull it in and hit their rev limiter. You shouldnt even launch with a ton of revs. This will also kill it. Enjoy the premature replacement :)
33k on the original clutch, had 28k on my last bike with original clutch…🤔
Truth be told yes they aren’t designed for it getting oil to the top is the bigger issue
903Assen Gsxr on the older models yes, newer gen bikes have no problems 👍🏻
My clutch started slipping on my cbrf4i on my second day of learning wheelies. I'm just gonna lay off the wheelies until I rebuild it. Maybe it was already weak? Idk but it was fine until I started trying but according to you maybe I'm just doing it wrong.
You gonna make mistakes while learning. I guess its expected to add more wear to the clutch compared when you get good at it.
Two days of learning how to wheelie and my clutch is gone 😢
Jesus bro! Don’t feather the clutch out, dump it completely. I’ve got 33k on the original clutch
@@SALTxTHExWOUND if only someone told me that a couple of days ago.
so greetings from switzerland haha
Hello there!
Wet clutch is designed to be slipped, don’t see the problems with it
CSHATFIREBALL exactly! 😁👌🏻
Salt, what's a wheelie? 😁
J Rods it’s when your bike gets a boner 🦴😂
My clutch started slipping while i tried doing wheelies
that sucks, maybe premature wear from other factors. I've got 33k on the OEM clutch and had 27k on my last OEM clutch before selling that bike
Clutch in or out. No riding the clutch...
Uk Rolla yup! 💯👌🏻
Lmao just don’t do wheelies. Than you wouldn’t be worried in the first place. Or buy a bike you don’t and would not care about.
Giovanny Delgado lol if you’re worried about it that much then yes that’s solid advice haha
