Bonecracker · 06-26-2006, 05:44 PM

I saw that one for Powering wheelies but my ZX-7r is too heavy in the front so i hear you really cant power them up

Is there a Good vide ofor clutching them?

How to clutch wheelies:
There are a couple different methods for clutching wheelies. I prefer the second method.
Method 1: First accelerate with the clutch engaged. Then, with the throttle still opened, pull in the clutch with one finger, to the point where the clutch disengages. With the engine still under throttle, quickly let the clutch back out as the tach is rising.

Because im a noob. I tired this on my bike and this is what i did. Riding at 4grand in 1st. I pulled the clutch in revved it up to 7 or so and dumped it.. It didn't go up because i dont think i was use to the Jolt. Is this the right way to do it and if so it seems very violent.

no you dont just rev and dump. it is a quick slip/fan of the clutch while acclerating hard. read the stickies then come back

Ok, this is how I ‘discovered’ how to wheelie (on a ninja 250).
In first gear I would tach up hard and smoothly release the clutch, slow at first, then faster and faster. (I like the feeling of launching fast)
I found that the little 250 had enough torque to hoist the front up real quick if you’re not careful. I can now do straight first gear wheelies with ease on my 250 and continue through second gear, then I run out of torque, on a 750 it should have more then enough ass to hoist that front end up in first second and third.
In closing, I believe that on street bikes popping a wheelie is all about clutch control, if you don’t have it you will end up on your ass or landing really hard on the front.

Take a look at this heavy ninja 600 (with less power) pulling up the front wheel.

im just telling you guys what i hear from the ZX-7r boreds.. Like i said before im learning and im hoping that i could get better Advise at doing it.

Today i was messing around and i am not doing it right i just don't get it.
What i did was- from first i would hit like 2k then open the throttle fully just to have the bike hit 80 in a matter for 3seconds..
Then i tired this- started out when i hit like 3k grand (in first) i pulled the clutch in a bit the bike revved up to like 6 or so then i let the clutch back in.. Nothing but me going faster. I know im doing something wrong so please if you can point it out. I would also let to say thanks for helping me.

correct if i'm wrong but i'm not sure your bike might be producing maximum torque at 6k..you might be just getting into the sweetspot of the power band.

snigg · 06-29-2006, 10:54 AM

you have a number of problems here. forget the power wheelies, im sure your bike will power wheelie but who cares. accelerate briskly in first gear and when you get around 6k or so slip the clutch in and out rather quickly while maintaining/increasing throttle. The bike will come up, and then you'll get scared and slam it down which will cause your nuts to hit the tank. stop being a pussy and trying a little slip of the clutch at 2k rpm...you want to be around 6k at least
