I have seen guys wheelie everything from a scooter to a fully dressed Harley; I have no doubt that a stock KLX can be wheelied

I still say the stock klx can not do clutchless wheelies. I want to do power wheelies not jump on the bike like a circus acrobat. I have no doubt that if i stand and yank the bike back this will work.

My dtracker can get the front up with quick deceleration then quick acceleration with a pull on the bars. This is with 13/39 and cam mod. It does not go very high but i've only tried a
few times.

At the right rpm my stocker would pull the front with no clutch.

Thanks for the comment about waiting for 5:32 in the video.
I think my problem so far has been that I pull up more than shift my weight back suddenly. And that's just what Maui's buddy does, just to get it to lift. Then he pulls back in. Brilliant demo!
I once rode with my college roommate 120 miles to see his uncle. He outweighs me by 50 lbs at least. And I could wheelie throttle only with him on there. And I know, because I had tried to wheelie my EX-500, and you couldn't twist the throttle and make it wheelie, UNLESS you put some weight out back. My Ducati would wheelie throttle only, I just never really let it get more than 6" off the ground(that kind of power from out of a turn onto a straight, well...it scares the crap outta me and I love it all the same).
I got the bounce already, it's just the weight shift I'm missing.
Gotta throw on the armour on and try that, once I get my bike back, but that is another story(might be the shortest ride report ever, really need to bond with my carb).

Anyone getting this technique down? Better at wheeling in general after watching this?
