Today I'm going over some of the biggest challenges I've encountered as a newbie (new rider) trying to learn wheelies on a Harley Davidson. These are some of the things I wish I had known prior to embarking on this journey. This is not a how-to by any means; rather, a review of some of the difficulties I've encountered. Hopefully these insights will provide some tricks and tips for new riders looking to get into the Harley Wheelies. It's been a struggle thus far, but a fun ride nonetheless! Enjoy

Man i like how you really took the time to go over all of the small problems and changes you made to help you wheelie. Good job man
Thanks, brotha! I found it surprisingly hard to find vids like this when trying to get into the game myself. I'm still wicked new but having a blast learning. I'll keep updating as I progress and learn new things. Thanks for checking the channel! Ride safe!
Broke my left leg and left foot the last two years...not from riding but I can't chance it. I'm keeping two on the ground. I'll watch you instead.
I hear ya! Better leave these for those who don't know better. Lol. Every time I go out to practice, Jackie's voice rings through my ears, "do you have to do this?"
Fuck yeah...
@@dwtnigg thx for checking out the channel!
Jon's Moto Garage you got balls dude. Subbed
@@dwtnigg hecks yeah! Thanks, bro!
As someone who has gone through this already, an can now hold em high for long long distances. The 2 best mods you can do is a reklus torque drive clutch. It makes it butter. An Shinko 777 tire. Cheap an incredibly sticky. Seriously that tire made a difference of smoking tire in 2nd gear to power wheeling in 2nd. Ur getting there bro. Don’t be afraid to lean back a little more, as long as. Have rear breake control. An check out in’s customs for a case saver bar
Heck yeah! I appreciate the tips and tricks from a seasoned pro! I'm still very much in the early stages. Got a shinko 777 last week. Haven't had a chance to get out on it yet. The feedback is much appreciated!
I cant Find in's customs. anymore info?
Downside of having the 777 is for those of us that enjoy wheelies AND rolling burnings
N dont count on throwing it up at 70 like a 1000cc sport bike, lol thats not happenin. Good luck 👌
Harleys are fun bikes
I wheelie a 93 Harley fxr with throttle alone no clutch “I have a bike upgraded to do this “ then it’s all about up shifting but loved the video a lot of what you talked about is right and what nobody else will tell you it depends on the rider the asphalt ,tire ,psi ,set up you name it but yes you are going to spend a lot of time repairing your bike and tightening bolts it’s just part of the game when you wanna put a 800+ pound bike on one wheel everything takes a beating. good job though hope see more when your scraping paint !
Thanks, brotha! I'm finding more and more how important set up is with this type of bike. Work smart, not hard. Lol.
Tap front brake compress and load front forks a little then clutch and throttle as the forks are coming back up. You won’t have to rev so high that way bc the suspension is working for you. Much easier to get it up.
Thanks for the tips, brotha! I've tried that a bit when I first got the bike. I'll have to revisit and see if my technique is any better. Definitely a steep learning curve, that's for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting! Ride safe!
careful with those loose laces man. they love wrapping around the controls.
Yes! I've had it happen before! I'll double check the laces next round. Good looking out!
Common sense and physics really...Harleys are, long, HEAVY, and have pathetically poor power to weight ratio. Go to the other end of the motorcycle spectrum a ride a modern dirtbike. Much shorter wheelbase, WAY lighter at about 1/8 of a ton, and with the same HP as most Harleys...they are actually hard to keep the front end down when you give them throttle... See that was easy!
Hahahah...I missed that class in high school. Lol. I happen to have a drz supermoto, so I know what you mean. Thanks for checking the vid and commenting! Ride safe!
First thing I learned with learning to wheelie my ride is setting the bike down not dropping down. Best advice i got to keep a good wheelie an not crash!
Thanks, brotha! Great point!
Shinko 777 will wheelie in the rain they don’t last worth a dam but they are super sticky
My biggest issue was my back tire breaking loose. Oh and it being like wheeling a school bus.
Hahaha...no kidding. It is like trying to wheelie a school bus! Lol. Your new paint looks sick btw!
Thanks dude I'm in love with it. Took a month of no wheelies with her getting painted. Now I'm rusty lol
@@wylie-coyote2694 I know the feeling. Lol. My bike was out of commission for two weeks while waiting on the clutch/parts. You start going through withdrawal syndrome. Lol.
Dawg it was worse than when I quit smoking!!!
The worst! Lol. You gonna get any vids up, or what!? I saw some good ones on your ig.
F Y I. We Truckers Live in those trucks so most times if you see one parked in those loading docks behind a big old empty warehouse try not to start doing wheelies near them. We have 70 plus hour work weeks and put in an average of 14 hours or more a day doing trucker stuff so give us a break and let us sleep when you can please. Besides no one wants a sleepy Trucker on the road Hauling 44 thousand pounds of whatever all just because he was woke up by people doing wheelies on HOGS! We get enough of the homeless knocking on our door every few hours begging for money and constantly having to move our rigs while on break to clear a dock just to add this. THANK YOU Ride safe BRO's because truckers always have bikers backs!
A few times I've rolled into lots and seen lights on in the trucks (I usually ride at night). Whenever that's the case I move to a different location. I definitely try to be cognizant of that. Thanks for the additional insights! Ride safe!
Take it for what it's worth,
Shinko 777. Best tire for wheelie's. Worst tire for burnouts. Mine WILL NOT BREAK LOOSE. I can wheelie on the worst of roads.
Have faith in the rear brake and engine compression, half the time I go "too far back" I just let the engine bring me back forward. You'll know if you need back brake.
Thanks, brotha! I appreciate the tips. The shinko 777 is my next tirefor sure. Seems like the way to go. Been busy ths last week so havent gotten out but I'll be rolling out an update vid as soon as I can. I'm getting closer. Let me know if you have any vids! I'd love to check em out.
Start trying to tap that tail light on the ground at a slower speed. But not really you know what I mean... Wheelie slower and get that balence point right b4 your about to tip... You know what I mean. An endo, no throttle just balance and brake then a tap of throttle to bring it back to endo
Most people cant get comfy going back to that point but once you can its all nothing but getting way better...
Think unicycle if that makes any motherfuckin sense...😒🤔 Hard to explain bro
My biggest issue wit Harleys was getting them up and slowing them down right b4 loop, but years of dirtbikes and quads made me master this and then all that weight coming back down. One tip is to newbies, she will throw you over the bars if you snap the front end down to quik because of the weight of that heavy motherfucker newbies need to know that more than anything. She will throw you, just sayin and your sack and ribs or abdomin will be raining in pain if you catch your bars..
Fucking OWWWWWSKIES 🚬 GOOD LUCK LIL BROS
Thanks for the tips and tricks, brotha! I'm getting a little bit better (if you check some of my more recent vids), but still lots of room for improvement. Slowly, but surely. Lol.
@@JonsMotoGarage Bro, its not easy, most people cant evan get the front end up let alone have the balls to attempt it.... 👌 They're heavy fucking bikes. What they say in that one rideout movie? "It's like trying to wheelie a refrigerator" 😂
Most Cruisers are based on the Dyna ergos. My Warrior 1700 center of balance very much like a Harley Dyna although you sit on rather into the bike the way the seat is positioned. Foot position is more straight down on my Warrior. No feet forward controls. Weight of a cruiser works against raising the front wheel. Love dark rubbery type tar asphalt streets. Makes me feel very secure even normal riding. I have those half floor board pegs. Love your Dyna. Lots of problems or just ridden hard by previous owner?
solid video brutha!
Thanks, bro! I'm a follower of your channel! You have some dope content! Thanks for rollin through!
@@JonsMotoGarage for sure! just got my sporty dialed in with a hella big sprocket to help me dial in wheelies a little more consistently! Loved the video!
@@ConnorFXDB Nice! I want a sporty st some point for wheelies, and then on to the road glide. Baby steps for now. Lol. Thanks for the support, bro!
The best way I found was to install a stag 4 and beyond with screaming eagle ..so you end up with 1è5 HP and over a hundred foot pounds of torque .. And wheelies are no problem
Man if you ever have to eject from one of these hogs, you're fucked. I lost 7 people in 3 years because they cannot escape the accident because these fucking things suck you in the bike and those bars will indeed crush your rib cage if you hit something. These pieces of shit are game over. I own a bagger, an FXRP and a few standards so yeah don't run into anything with one of these.
Yeah, no doubt there's a good amount of risk involved. I try to be systematic when going about learning things like this. Not that all risk can be eliminated, but there seem to be ways of reducing it. Either way, I hear ya loud and clear! Thanks for watching and commenting! Ride safe!
I taught its a Dankwheelie video.
Nice video bro !
I am struggling with my.body position and fear of getting far at height
KID YOUR A MONSTER !!! Get the right bike was the 1st thing. Passing on the Heritage Soft tail/Fatboy ETC is obvious to most riders with Common sense. The fact that you started on a pit bike was a good Dirt bike would be best 2nd option PIT BIKE. 《Small and Forgiving 》 Then a Sport Bike AKA A WHEELIE MACHINE . I Did The same a Honda ATC 70 Then a YZ 125cc 2 stroke. 250 4 Stroke Honda Enduro. A Couple of Hardtail Harleys《 Bar Hoppers》 Then got serious and Got a FXR HARLEY. In my opinion that's one of There best motorcycles ever built and their greatest Wheelie Machine . You're awesome man. Keep Going Bro. 《 Free tip =ARP HARDWARE - NUTS&BOLTS AND ALWAYS USE RED🔴LOCTITE !!!
Thanks, brotha! Surprisingly, I've had a handful of people bashing on the harley wheelie stuff. Lol. Can't believe the sensitivity level for some. We all have to start somewhere. Hahaha. Thanks for the support, brotha! I'll look into the arp hardware for sure!
It's not often I watch an entire 12-minute video without fast-forwarding good job
Woah! That's awesome! I'm not sure that I even sit through the entire vids! Lol. Much appreciated, brotha! Thanks for watching and commenting!
That bike is almost identical to Jax Tellers on SOA. Looks sick
Crazy thing is I've never watched a single episode of soa. Lol. Thanks for checking the channel!
You have to go check out delboy's garage he's awesome and he will show you tricks and tips he likes to put little paint dots on his screws and when they come loose, he can do just look at them and see when they come loose and I think that's an awesome tip use nail polish on the nut. It's a cool trick
Right on! Thanks for the recommendation! The name sounds familiar - I may already by subscribed. Lol. Thanks for watching, brotha!
You're killin it!! Always remember....she'll never let you go. It's damn near impossible to go all the way back if you got the risers and the bucket seat. Just keep that foot cusioned on that rear brake and you can floss it....drag your hand on the ground if you get it back far enough.
Heck yeah! The hand drag is the goal eventually! Thanks for the encouragement, brotha! Ride safe!
You're making those wheelies look too easy!
Hahaha... thanks, man! I'm still far from balance point, but getting closer. The biggest struggle is not being able to just roll out and ride. The supermoto is a lot easier to get wheelie practice in.
@@JonsMotoGarage keep it up, I'm sure it won't take you too long to figure that out.
Easiest way to wheelie on a Big Twin is to do a Stage 3 Screamin Eagle engine package or S&S power. Do the chain conversion. You should then have no problem riding power wheelies and not tearing your bike up by always doing clutch up wheelies. Just 2 cents from a long time HD rider.😎
Thanks for the info, brotha! Eventually I may get something with more engine work done to it. Yeah, this is bone stock as far as the engine goes. Thanks for watching! Ride safe!
S&s is absolute shit. Chinese crap shot
A long time Harley rider should know you don’t need any of that. I will tell you the MOST important combo: a sticky tire (777’s are great.), mid controls, and a good clutch spring.
Hows it going bud?? Any progress? Just checkin in. Hey when you twist that throttle..... pull back harder but don't give it that same twist. You gotta pull really hard to get it up without spin'n the rear. And you don't need to pop the clutch....if you pull really hard
Great video. Two questions...what seat and exhaust are on your bike? (They look good)
Thanks for checking the vid, bro! Seat: Saddleman
Exhaust: Royal T Racing
Here's a walk around vid I just uploaded yesterday w/hi def (much better quality). I also added a parts list to the description of the walk around vid: ua-cam.com/video/SaS-VpcLKpc/v-deo.html
I'm in love with the Dyna, god damn i want one D:
Right!? I don't know what it is, but I've become obsessed with the entire dyna scene. Thanks for watching and commenting! Keep me posted if you pick one up!
@@JonsMotoGarage Thank you for the kind reply! I'm saving up some cash so i can buy a Harley, i might start with a cheaper one first, but the dyna will definitely be mine one day 🙏
Keep up the great content!
@@SOUNDWAVE98 Nice! My first bike was a shadow 600. There are lots of nice options out there.
@@JonsMotoGarage I'll definitely keep an eye out, the iron 883 is also a very good choice, i think! I saw you got one! That little beast looks like so much fun!
@@SOUNDWAVE98 yeah, the iron 883 is a good fun bike. Depending on the market/where you live, you can get nice ones with low miles for around $4k-$5k. The nightster and 48 are great options as well. All can be found for less than $6k. Grear transition into the dyna or larger bikes. Feel free to hit me up with any questions.
You're doing an awesome job!! Keep up the great videos.
Thanks man! I always appreciate the support and encouragement! It means a lot!
Dope video homie! subscribed for sure man
Thanks, bromano! Didn't see this comment the first run through.
Gotta try loading your front shocks so slight front brake then dump the brake and clutch at the same time an throw ur weight back.
Shinko 777, they always hook
Just got one installed yesterday. Still working it in. Hopefully by this weekend we'll see some improvements. Lol. Thanks for checking the vid!
Mine hooks up solid.
Great Video!
Thanks, bro!
Wheelies looking good!!!! Working on mine and that rear tire is a no go,,, going to try some Shinko 777 as soon as I burn through the stock one... great vid!!!
Thanks, brother! I'll be getting a new rear tire real soon here. I've heard good things about the shinko as well so that'll be the next one for sure. Thanks for checking the vids!
Your channels amazing bro
Keep up the good work !👌🏼
Thanks a bunch, brotha! I appreciate the support!
Now I need a how to wheelie a Vulcan 900....
Hahaha! Not sure I can pull it off on that bike. Lol.
@@JonsMotoGarage yeah. It might be lacking in power. Lol
I was waiting to see if you mentioned the chain? That's a huge factor! I come from rockets wheelies and stoppies were a way of life for years! But I now have a streetbob like you it's still belt no more wheelies for me. I'm all done with that now. nice bike be safe crashing down time and repairs from dumb shit sucks! Be safe bro good vid.
Good point! I mentioned the chain in one of my vids. Not sure how I missed it here. Lol. Thanks for checking the channel! Ride safe, amigo!
I had a Yamaha radian 600. You could tug the bars in 1st and wheelie.....no clutch needed.
What exhaust is on there? I like that a lot!
Thanks, bro! It's royal t racing. They're somewhere on the east coast. I believe they only do custom exhaust. Thanks for checking the channel! Roll safe!
That is the MRI truck. For guys who did wheelies without a helmet ⛑.
That's an unfortunate truth right there. Lol. TBI's are no joke.
Watching this video again....lol great video man...👍👍👍👍
Great Video man thanks for the help....cant wait to start practicing on my dyna...
Nice! I'll be looking out for the vids!
I got a 2000 fxdx dynaglide from my pops after he passed away. I used to ride it all the time and then I had some health issues and the last time I rode the bike i got bad speed wobble when accelerating, the day before the last ride I had dumped it doing dumb ass burnouts when I was not in the right state of mind or in the right physical condition to even be riding. After that I had to move out of state for awhile and the bike sat there. it’s been a good year since I’ve been back and I can’t seem to save up enough money to buy parts to get it running again. I also don’t have the mechanic know how or the right tools to fix it and it kills me everyday that I can’t ride. Right now it’s sitting in my garage attempting to collect dust but I clean it every week. The last couple months when I was riding, it kept having problems where it wouldn’t start for hella long and I’d be stuck there trying over and over to start it and it usually worked eventually. Also it died on me twice when leaving the Harley dealership after telling them to fix all the problems it had. They kept sending me out saying it’s all good and it’d die on my way home almost killing me on the freeway, I finally got it home then it’d keep dying randomly I’d be stuck for 30 minutes and then it’d start back up, but it pissed me off so bad to have it keep dying on me in random areas of town. So I know I have a lot of work to do to it, I’m thinking I’m going to need a new starter and stator and a bunch of electrical shit to replace, I’m probably going to get a new carburetor (my dads best friend who was a mechanic would tell me it always had carburetor problems since my dad got it, but he’s passed away now too so I have no one to help me out with the bike and no knowledge of my own). I know I could do a lot of the work myself I would just need to learn first. It makes it hard when you’re poor as fuck and have crazy amounts of bills to pay tho. I’m jealous as fuck of the freedom you have riding your bike, even when I was riding the freedom wasn’t there cause it die on me and I couldn’t leave my neighborhood basically. I just needed to vent to some people who know the pain I’m in. I have terrible luck with bikes just got a dirt bike stolen from me, and all you guys know what it’s like to not be able to ride. I’m slowly going crazier and crazier not being able to ride at all.
Sorry to hear about your pops! Hope you can get it back up and running! It can be a project of love and remembrance! I'm not much of a mechanic myself, but with some tools and a few buddies with the know how, anything is possible!
I've been a cycle rider for 35 years,,been down twice once hit by car in which left me with one leg second time loose gravel on turn ending up with a few broken bones,not fun hitting the pavement,but I still ride and love it,,my advice to anyone trying to do this senseless wheelie shit,,don't do it,,get on your bike and enjoy the ride rather then risk serious injury for nothing as it don't prove a thing to show off.
Thanks for checking out the vid and sharing your story/experiences. Sorry to hear about those accidents. Motorcycle riding is no doubt a very dangerous hobby, whether you're in an empty back lot trying wheelies, or as you point out, simply out cruising. In some cases, I think the latter can be even more dangerous. Many would argue that jumping on a two wheeled death machine at all is senseless. I think we can both come up with a few reasons explaining why we still do it, despite the risk involved. I can only speak for myself, but I get a sense of enjoyment trying/learning new things. Trying to learn wheelies has been no different. Doesn't mean it's for everyone, or that it's a good idea, or that it even makes sense to be out spending time doing it. But at the end of the day, I'm having a good time. As I always say, "different strokes for different folks." Ride safe, my friend!
Great video man! I’m learning too here are a few things that I do to get her up which I don’t think I heard you mention.
1. I drop my weight back into the seat as I release the clutch. This loads your suspension and helps increase the contact patch.
2. I have a harder compound tire so I drop down to 20psi and warm the tire up before wheelin.
Both seem to help me.
Why not just ride your sport bike it cost less and don't fall apart when you ride wheelies I don't undersatnd?
My biggest problem I’m having is trying to get down not being a pussy. I’ll get it up but can’t seem to push myself to that sweet spot 🤷🏻♂️
I've been watching the harley wheelie videos for years. Suscribed to you when this video came out. Today was the first 70 degree day of the year. It might be stupid.... I have never wheelied ANY bike. But this street bob is all I got. Technically I did attempt it with my indian scout. So I am used to the burnout feeling. And for 30 or so tries, that's all I got with the bob. Burn out after burnout.
The one thing I did that changed it was pulling back as I dumped the clutch. That thing pushed me back into my seat and I wasn't prepared for it to come up. My clutch hand let go since I was grabbing it with all 4 fingers and let them go to dump it.
Scary... but exhilirating. feeling this beast come up. Unfortunately it's back to 40s... rain... 30s... So I wont practice for a while. But yeah. After rewatching your video, I see how pulling back helps out a lot.
Oh. And it was just an inch or two. It wasn't that big a of a rise. Ha
Dude, that's AWESOME! And major props for trying your first moto wheelie on a dyna! That takes cojones! Hahaha. The dyna has seriously been the absolute most challenging two wheeled machine I have ever tried to wheelie. It's absurd how difficult it is for us newbies. But isn't it crazy how when you get the formula just right, it feels like the bike was totally built for it. The biggest challenge for us newbies is figuring out what the correct formula is, and getting consistent with it. I'm reluctant to say keep it up, given all the issues I've had with my bike breaking, but we both know you'll make your own judgment call there, so no worries. Thanks a bunch for sharing this! Totally made my day! Hope the weather clears up soon enough, bro!
And that's one of the reasons I post my sub par, noobie wheelies: there aren't any out there and these are the things I was having to learn the hard way. I used to think you could find everything online until I wanted some legit help with harley wheelies. Lmao. When I finally figure these out I'll be sure to post a how to vid.
@@JonsMotoGarage yeah man. I used to have lowriders. Breaking shit was part of the game. I understand how it goes. You cant beat up a machine and not have it break some. But building it up makes it fun. I think ill get those shorty levers you posted too. These clutches are a bitch.
You're also right about seeing someone work up to achieving the wheelie goal.
Compared to someone who knows it and posting.
They just tell you "do this then that then this"
They don't say what goes wrong... and how to compensate.
Keep it up.
@@mr.b3168 hahaha...exactly! Low riders are sick! If you can wrench on those, these bikes are probably a cake walk. Lol.
Yo! i live in AZ and i recognize the area that your in, and i think this spot is 2 min from where i work. Just got a 22' softail lowrider and if you need someone to cruise around with id be more than down! (might want you to teach me a thing or 2 about getting the bike onto one wheel as well)
Nice, a have never did a wheelie, I have been riding for 30 years on Harley's never seen one pop wheelies before, it looks cool have fun. I enjoyed watching, too old to try now i just ride. lol
I’ve been trying to get a wheelie on my Honda Africa twin for a little bit here and there and i think I’m just being a bitch about it. I’ve power wheelied on a newer r1 but the clutchup is just nerve wracking. I think I’m just too scared to fuck up my bike if i drop it.
Better to play it safe imo. The grom is a great and relatively cheap way to get into it. I wouldn't wanna destroy the African twin either.
Jon's Moto Garage i have a few other bikes to try on when they are eventually put back together.
@@DirtyDuramax for sure! I'd start on the smallest bike possible. Lol.
some dude just died near us riding down the highway, rear wheel detatched smacked side wall no helmet..
check your shit before your ride!!!! be safe.
I have a titanium shoulder, I’ll keep both on the ground.Cool video bro but wheeling is for you young bucks with all your original body parts.lol
Completely open the throttle, dumping the clutch, and yeah.. good luck😂😂😂
14" shocks and 2" over tubes will help you get her up alot easier. You can also get 11" dampening rods to give you the 2" in the front and shock block extensions if you want to go the cheap route
Thanks for the info, brotha! I cam very close to picking up a bike out in cali (dyna low rider). Had the 14" shocks, 2" over tubes and all. Sold a day before a was gonna get out there. Major bummer! Thanks for checking the channel! Ride safe!
Check out them boys in the bay
Yup, those dudes have been killing it for years! I've watched them over the years and for the longest time told myself there was no way I'd ever get the wheel up on a harley. I might get there eventually. Ha! Thanks for watching and commenting! Roll safe, man!
What bars are those on the bike?
Hey man, I live in the exact same area of Chandler as you. Been working on my wheelies and wanted to know the lot you go to if you wouldn't mind sharing. I have a 2014 FXDL and just been getting my feet wet on getting that thing on one wheel. Would appreciate any info you have an if you would like some company on any of your wheelies sessions. Any input i can get while riding would be amazing. Thanks dude and keep it up!
Dude, I would love to have a wheelie practice/riding buddy! I usually roll out at random times but never hurts to throw out an invite when I roll (and vice versa). Hit me up on ig: @jonsmotogarage.🤘😎
Secret spot
me: perfect company pallets work trucks all over, ill just google it :P
Dang, that brake fluid from the rear looked black, no Bueno!
Yeah, that was probably the original stuff. Ugh.
There are brake fluids that are purple in color. It could be one. But I doubt it.
@@sife3438 sounds like something royal purple would make 😂
How does the Jim's 135 compare cant use the 52cm carb no parts but went to Mquiny148
yes not sure but heard something about Calif. emissions steering the whole thing which makes sence
the reason throttle actions is weird because harleys are a 4 stroke carburated where are the other is two stroke with injection
This one is fuel injected, but its definitely a different feel. Thanks for watching and commenting! Ride safe!
I'm learning too and you're a fair amount further than me, but I love your videos thanks! I also recommend the Shinko.. My dyna pops right up but it comes up FAST. My feet flew up off the pegs and scared the *** out of me lol
Hahaha...I cant wait to get the shinko! I think you're the fourth or fifth to make the recommendation. Maybe that'll be the magic bullet. Lol. Thanks for the info, and thanks for checking the vid! Let me know if you post any vids so I can check em out. Ride safe, brotha!
Jon's Moto Garage hee hee I'm a sista but yeah I'm definitely gonna start posting when I get a little better. Thanks again!
@@D1sc1p1e SISTA!?! That's awesome! I guess that makes more sense with your username. Lol. You have to start a channel! There are only a handful of girls tearing it up in the stunt scene, and even fewer on the harleys! No pressure tho. 🤘🤙
Jon's Moto Garage it is definitely a rare thing for chicks but I've seen a couple that can do it! Thanks for the encouragement and inspiration. Do you have an Instagram too?
@@D1sc1p1e Maybe you can convince my wife to start stunting. Lol. She dabbles on the grom a bit. Yeah, my ig is @jonsmotogarage. Thanks again for watching, and keep shredding!
Gooseneck bearings dont last long on the harleys
Good to know! Thanks for the info! I'm afraid nothing will last too long the way these wheelies are going. Lol. Thanks for watching and commenting! Ride safe!
Orale Jon, that's Bad Azzz Bro...
U got a new Sub. 👍👊✌
Thanks, brotha!
I like those foot pegs what kind are they. Sick wheelies!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, brotha! I'm on the lookout for the triumph rocket 3! I hear those wheelie like sport bikes! The foot pegs are San Diego customs. Thx for checking the channel! I appreciate the support!
off topic but where did you get that fuel gauge and cap? or were they the stock ones
Any problems with oil filling back cylinder?
None that I've run into...yet. but I haven't mastered it enough to sit in 12 o'clock for an extended period. I need to research that a bit more myself. I've heard conflicting statements on the matter.
Buying a Harley that was wheelied?? Good bad ugly?
High risers ,let a touch of air out the back tire , and when your making your turn right when you straighten being her up and just power it into 2nd right before you wind out the gear so it will get up to your balance point then you can get threw some gears learn that back break good fun
Great tips! I'll have to give those a try! Thanks for watching and commenting! Ride safe!
@@JonsMotoGarage I couldn't see your seat but if you haven't already ,go get you a electric turkey cutter ,pull off your seat ,pull staples under it out leave the staples in the leather but peal that shit back and cut the foam in thin slices and what your going for is a "gun fighter" type of style I'm sure you can find some videos of what I'm telling you but basically putting your ass a bit father back and down ... it's the Lil shit that gives you that kool aide smile when you park her in the garage at night ...cut them brake and clutch levers like dirt bike style get some 8" risers and 883 sportster bars also get longer springs in the front shocks like maybe an inch taller know what I mean the dynas fulkrum point is not like a fxr fulcrum point so you just gotta make it more "gooder" lol have that shit rockin 12 all day everyday watch ..
New subscriber here. Like your videos a lot. I wheelie my dyna all the time and I highly suggest getting a shinko 777 for the rear. You can run that tire at full psi and it will pick up no matter what. Only bad thing about them is they only last a couple thousand miles, but they are cheap.
Thanks for watching, bro! I've heard the shinko is the grippiest so that was my next thing on the list (I'll get one in the next few weeks I'm sure). Thanks for the tip, and I appreciate the support!
what year is this bike
I saw a harley bager wheelie in 1st and keep going then 2nd gear wheelie he new how to ride?
would love to hear some feedback on the Jim's 135 Evo drop in crate motor. I spent the money to duplicate exactly the way they built their demo to insure the same torque and HP numbers. immediately disappointed because needle jet in the super duper toilet bowl carb could not be obtained throughout a world wide search over the (interweb). oh well so I installed a 48Mkuinny at a major cost. I could only get 250ftlbs torque and almost exactly the same HP.
I'm not saying it's not a giddy up go hang on and smile I'm just a little disappointed with the outcome when I spent the money to replicate their model to obtain their numbers and ended up spending quite alot of extra money only to come close. I really think its capable of much more but need some expert advise and some possible retooling to achieve. shes a kick in the ass now but I need more. hahaha
I wonder how all that Idling if affecting the motor. These things get hot
I'm sure it won't do to well come summer time in az. Lol. I've thought about the same thing.
Hey dude, on your clutch up, are you keeping the throttle the same and dumping the clutch and holding throttle at the same and adjusting and it’s going up? Or revving up with clutch in dumping clutch with no throttle and pulling up with throttle afterward? I’m getting good pop but can’t get it to climb and I’m breaking loose.
Thanks man!!!
Great question! So, my method/technique with the throttle/clutch has changed a bit. When I first started, I would roll about 5mph, pull clutch in, go wide open throttle, lean forward/compress front forks, and then dump the clutch and throw weight back. It took some refining/figuring out rpm, etc with this method and was wicked hard on the bike (not that wheelies are easy on the bike anyway). After getting my new shinko tire, however, this method didn't work at all. It did nothing but burn rubber. So, I had to start from square one again. What I ended up figuring out was the following: I slip the clutch at much lower rpms (still going pretty slow) with the throttle probably only about a quarter open. But I open the throttle up as the front wheel comes up/after the rear wheel sticks. This approach still requires a lot of refinement/adjusting speed, rpms, throttle, etc. But, I'm able to do it with 35 psi in the rear tire and it is a lot less work on the motor. The only drag is I still have sessions where I go out and only get like 1/5. Especially as of late cause I've been busy and haven't gotten out much. Consistency and lots of practice is the name of the game. The drag is every time I start to get it, the bike breaks or something happens. Lol. Hope this helps somewhat. Eventually I'll do a how to vid, but I need to dial em in better myself for that. And keep in mind everyone does it a little bit different. Good luck! Ride safe!
Jon's Moto Garage it does greatly, I find that lower rpm was helping with it some, even with 30psi I lowered it and it felt sloppy and didn’t like it and felt like my clutch was paying for it.
I quit looking at my gauges and it helped a little more by going with muscle memory and sound! Need a new tire soon anyway so hopefully that will help more!!!
Thanks for your reply!!!!
Heck yeah! I never look at the gauges either. The new tire should help once it's broken in as well!
trying to find those rims for my princess. any idea where i can get them?
I believe they're off a lowrider. I bought the bike as is so not sure where the previous owner found them. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Thanks for watching! Ride safe!
Shit try wheeling a stryker.
hahaha...I've had a few people suggest that. We'll see...
Thanks for watching, bro!
What new Harley’s would be good for this?
Great vid, although I think trying this on my lowrider Shovel I'd rip both my shoulders out of their sockets! It WOULD look spectacular though...
Maybe when I get my Ironhead rebuilt. It had a much better stance for doing this sort of thing... Keep up the great vids!
Hahahaha! That'd be a crazy site to see for sure! Lol. Thanks for watching and commenting! I appreciate the support! Ride safe! And if you wanna have any of your bikes featured in my next "sub shoutout vid" feel free to shoot me pics and a short blurb to jonsmotogarage@gmail.com. I love seeing what other people roll around on.
This is a good video. Wrestling a bike like a HD into tricks you’re gonna get intimate with RED lock tight. But still a good video. Thx man
Good video and you got some skills but I would never ride with tennis shoes or fabric gloves. I like both my feet and my hands.
Good looking out! I need to up my gear game for sure! Lol. Thanks, brotha!
Yes sir, keep the rubber side down! But always remember there’s only two kinds of riders, those that have been down and those that are going...period.
Kick ass video man! Question...what pegs are you running ? Rubber down rider up brother!
Thanks, brotha! Pegs are San Diego customs. I prefer mx style tho. These are slippery when I try knee knockers.
Jon's Moto Garage I agree! I grew up in the dirt riding and racing moto because that’s what my dad grew up doing and naturally I followed in his steps. We have always had bikes in the family growing up and I just got my first one 3 weeks back but am fixing it to fit more my “ style “ thank you for the quick reply by the way! I like those bars too! I got a pair of chubbies street fighters yesterday and going to have to throw them on soon!
of course, the harley is heavy. Most Dynas weigh 750 ish wet. Those dirt bikes with power bands weigh 450 and more horse power out of the hole. Just ride it. Fuck the wheelies.
Hahahaha...eventually I'll grow out of being a wheelie wannabe. My drz400sm is much easier for the wheelie game. Thanks for watching and commenting! Ride safe!
Jon how tall are you and what size are those bars higher and width?
5'8" 12" bars not sure on width tho
I live in Gilbert by power and pecos if you ever want to rip
10:25 i mean i used to be at the lot 6 to 8 hours a day 7 days a week.
Challenge accepted on doing wheelies did you ever see the guys that are professional stunt drivers with dynas
Heck yeah! Those dudes straight kill it!
Yes he is my dad
What pipe is that?
Royal t racing exhaust. Thanks for checking out the video!
Have you wrecked the Dyna yet ? Just curious. Also I recommend blue loctite, not red. Great video !!
Hahaha! Fortunately I have not wrecked it yet. If you check some of my more recent vids, you can see the wheelie improvement. Still room for progress, but getting a bit better. Although I will say I've had a handful of things break/wear out d/t the qheelie game (clutch, chains, tires, battery...). Thanks for watching and commenting! Ride safe! Oh yeah, blue loctite! Noted!
I absolutely agree, use blue loctite, not red! Red is to make sure whatever you put it on will never, ever come off again!
Great job considering your only 5 months in. If your handy. Add a second rear caliper and finger pull. A lot of the stunt riders go that route and it’s a help. They make kits but they easy to throw together without one. Also keep your tire fresh and your balance point can still go back a bit. The idea is not hiding behind the throttle out. Great job bud!
We gotta ride man I’m in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area always trying to ride dirt and street!
Heck yeah! Hit me up on ig: @jonsmotogarage. I'll be pretty tied up until august but I'm down to get out and ride!
Lol the answer to the title. *because they aren’t made for wheelies* lmao. But still gnarly when you do em.
Hahahaha....very true, brotha!
Jon's Moto Garage yessir it is haha. I need a bike tho. Lol life is empty with out one!
@@RoGuExPaNcAkE I feel your pain! 🤘😎
1000 SUBS!!! Just a start for you BOSS!!!
Thanks, man! Did you hit the big 1k? I know you were close.
Nope not yet. Need believe it or not. 29 more!!! And my sub count has stalled. 🤨
Yeah, I've yet to find any real rhyme or reason to this youtube stuff. Lol. But as long as we're having fun it's all good.
2nd gear
1 finger clutch pull in
Rev - flick clutch slide back and pull
Or just power wheelie In 1st gear
I've tried a few in second but can't get it to catch. Maybe once I get it dialed in first. Thanks for the tips!
Jon's Moto Garage what’s your gear ratio on the final drive? You have a chain conversion so that’s definitely a step in the right direction. Also what kind of rear tire are you running?
@@dynahack505 Not sure on the gear ratio. Didnt think to ask the dude when I bought it and haven't checked myself. Rear tire was a Michelin commander 2. Its now a slick. Lol. I plan on trying the shinko 777 next. What are your thoughts?
Jon's Moto Garage I’m running a shrinko 777 now and it hooks up pretty good. At any rate you got a sweet bike!
@@dynahack505 Thanks, man! I look forward to trying the 777 as well!
Chandler?
Heck yeah! C-town!
I would love to ride wheelies on my Harley! Probably not possible though on my 883 lol.
Its possible dude even stock
You should do a complete flush on those brakes that fluid looks dirty as hell
Yeah, that's exactly what i did. Pretty sure that was the first brake flush ever on the bike. Lol. Yeah, that stuff was grimey. Thanks for watching and commenting!
What plate holder and lights are you running
I'll have to do some research. It was on the bike when I bought it so not sure. If I can find the details I'll let you know. Thanks for checking out the vid!
@@JonsMotoGarage thanks man I appreciate it
I think the plate holder is custom dynamics, with alloy arts integrated rear turn signals (got some help from the subs on my recent walk around vid). Thanks again for watching!
@@JonsMotoGarage thanks for the reply. I'm looking to get some bags so I'm probably gonna have to relocate my signals and plate. I think your set up looks really clean
@@frankd9784 Thanks, brotha!
