    Hi i have sort of the same bike its a 2018 husqvarna fc350. It does have a full fmf system on. But ive tried power wheelies on it and couldn't get it to come up. Idk if its bc im not staying in the throttle long enough to get the bike to do it. (I have a loose chain) do you think i should stay in the power longer until it comes up? Idk how to explain it exactly haha. To make it easier i guees im blipping the throttle i dont stay in it for more then 2 seconds lol. Also i just have hard pack around

    Ronnie, Thanx a lot for the video. This is the far most clear video for how to do a wheelie! I watched lots of content and I missed something... after watching this video, I took my 2T Husky and practice. In very little time it hit me! What I was missing is using the front break - now I'm getting it :)

Btw my main bike is a yz250f can i learn to wheelie on that?

    I can do great higher speed wheelies both sitting or standing. The slow clutch/brake ones have always been my struggle. Not confident enough and don’t have the muscle memory to hit the rear brake before its to late. And then I end up not in the balance point and wind out the gear too soon.

    • @faisstlife
      @faisstlife  4 роки тому +5

      yeah the slow ones are a little harder. just have to keep practicing them until you get them.. try to just start with your foot already over the rear break. that way it's already in place if needed 👍🏼👍🏼

    I've been practicing like crazy. The bike tends to start falling to one side or the other as soon as the wheel comes up and I have to let off. Also, does tire pressure matter? I have the rear set pretty low, around 10 psi because there's a lot of loose terrain where I'm practicing

    • @vladastamosiunas6592
      @vladastamosiunas6592 3 роки тому +1

      Happened to me before as well. Just invested a lot of time on stationary balance and general balance training. Also was extremely difficult for me to do it on Yamaha YZ250, but on KTM EXC300 is way way easier. Maybe its just a preference, but I felt so much better on KTM imediatelly.
