Wheelies on a motorbike? |
[Edit] |
Answer
If what you're asking is How To Do Wheelies?
Remember this first:
When you are first learning you will probably do more damage to your bike then during any other time. This is mainly because of missed shifts, or rear brake stomping, or anything that slams your front end down. You may bust a fork seal. You will probably wear out your steering stem bearings faster than normal, and you will definitely need to tighten your steering head down more frequently. You may also wear your rear tire slightly flat, as hard wheelie acceleration wears out the centers more quickly than normal. You will stretch your chain out, if you use the clutch method. Another detriment to the clutch method, aren't clutch wear, but clutch basket wear. The sudden force of the clutch plates against the ears of the basket can notch the basket. This will prevent you from pulling in the clutch, any time there is load on the engine. Of course, all sorts of fasteners may come loose a little faster than normal, I've noticed mirrors and other front end body fasteners in particular want to fall off. So check out em out frequently.
Ok now that that's out of the way.There's 3 basic ways really to wheelie a bike :(lots of variations on each way however)
~~1~~ Rolling It On ~power wheelies
~~2~~ SuSpension Help
~~3~~ Clutching It Up
Depending on what size and type of bike you intend on using can dictate the method of lofting the front end skyward.
Clutching is easiest so I'll try to explain.
1. Drop the tire pressure to about 15-20psi
2. Put the bike into first gear
3. Go about 15mph
4. Pull in the clutch
5. Rev up the engine a little and drop the clutch
6. Repeat step 5, increasing the rpm?s, until the front end comes up close to the balance point.
7. Reduce the throttle as the front end comes up to the balance point.
8. Cover the rear brake.
9. Stay on the throttle as it comes back down.
If you can master this exercise then you are ready for other ways of doing it. Throttle control is key, balancing front to back, side to side stearing wheelies etc will all come with practice...Good luck and be safe!!!!
