No worries deej, I'm always up for a good burn!

Anyway, from the sounds of things, i should probably keep my weight off the pegs? i've been trying to do it standing up so i can really pull back on the bars

 

If you start off like that, right as you are giving it gas and trying to pull up, sit back on the passenger part of the seat, this should also cause the front springs to help with the lift. Ever so little, but it might just enough help.

 

you got to learn from the seat, you can feel the balance of the bike better; and as a plus........ if your a big guy sittingback on the seat will help unload your front and bring it up easier. I'm only 170lbs so I sit back and clutch it a little- I try not to pull or jerk on anything; I'm lazy so I let the bike do the work for me.

 

sounds logical....can't wait to try this all out. although i'd have to go alone...thats probably not wise.

 

Actually dumping hte clutch is easier on it than letting it slip and grab.

Usually I dump the clutch or stand up pre load the front, whack the throttle and pull back. But my usuall way is either over whoops or sitting on the rakc and leaning back and rip the throttle, or stand on the passanger pegs and bounce as I open the throttle. This bike with stock gearing doesn't do them too well, I've had a couple long but if I wanted to ride on one wheel I would have bought a unicycle.

 

see where my butt is on the seat? that's too far forward. you should be further towards the rear of the seat. this wheelie did not go far. also the front wheel is NOT at the balance point it's too low. i'd show you the correct way to do a wheellie if i had anyskills...... I DON'T

 

Do you own all that?!?! There would so be a woods trakc and a open trakc if that was my house!

 

For getting the bike up in 2nd, or 3rd, it comes up the best by pre-loading the suspension. I have the clutch set to that I can disengage the clutch with 1 or 2 fingers and still hold a good grip on the bars.
So it's like a one motion thing, disengage the clutch with a finger, and as you pre-load the suspension, crank the throttle and basically dump the clutch as the suspension begins to push you back upwards and pull on the bars.
After trying it for a day you're elbows will probably be sore. Or at least mine did.... Probably not a good thing.
Then when you can get it up, you can practice the balanceing thing.... I can't do it either. I hate when I see the guys doing it down a dirt road at 100 kms/hr. I get so jealous.
Should be easier on our bikes tho, because it dosn't have as much engine breaking as most 4 strokes. Or dosn't seem to. In Theory

 

no i don't own that land. that field is a very small portion of a 50 acre parcel that's surrounded by woods and power lines. i have access to it thru a friend who goes up there to bring his nephew riding. it's nirvana for for the 14 yr. old kid in all of us.

 

I learned a long time ago to do it by getting into second gear, and dumping the clutch in second gear while you are going slow. I tried it on some grass a few weeks ago and the front end came right up. Then just need to find the balance point. (need to work on that)[8D]
