Default For All Who Says You Can't Wheelie A Stock KLX250S

This is not my video. I requested him to do a wheelie tutorial video and to my surprise he did just that. I asked him for permission to post on this forum and he gave me the go ahead. Watch and be amazed

OK...a wheelie...OK. But I'm glad I watched this vid because there was an ad at the bottom I'd never seen before...."Meet a nice Chinese lady to warm your feet at night". Y'all excuse me while I do a little internet link search.

Obviously technique is all it is. I can pop the front up but have never practiced enough to nail down the balance point. Watch the wheelie at 5:32 , you can see his shadow next to him, and get a double view of what is going on.
Thanks for posting up Maui

Yeah but yanking back on the bars like that can have a tendancy to jerk the bike to either the left or the right. Much better to be neutral on the bike and torque or clutch it up, obviously not as easy to do on the stock bore but thats why i put in the 331 kit.

How many times is that guy gonna hit the turn signal button? I lost count. Must be a nervous twitch or something.

I'm constantly poking my turn signal button. It really messes me up when I switch bikes.

Right, I am constantly hitting mine. I don't have indicators on my "dash" and never know for sure if I have my signal off. Hitting the button makes sure they are off. I think its a good habit.

Anyone go out and try his technique? If so, how was it?

I tried but I can't get the front wheel up without clutching it up. Maybe just more practice time but I'm definitely getting better.
