WOW...nice wheelie DEEJ!!!!! I will now make the wife sit on the curb by the railroad tracks in town and video me when i cross them.......It is by far my favorite place and even with my stock 14-42 i can wheelie in 3rd gear for about 50 yards up the road......and i know you guys won't believe me till I do it so i will have to .as soon as my new clutch cable comes in this week i'll have her video me this week.....Man it is a big rush as I approach the tracks in 4th or 5th and i knock her down to third and just hammer the throttle standing up and she stands right up all around the corner.....man i have an urge to do it right now but ...no clutch cable.......
I bet with my 47t on the rear i'd be able to ride and hold it but i always have a fear of road rash...LOL

Deej, How's the wheelying going? I did my longest wheely yesterday at about 20 feet. I ultimately had to come down for fear of flipping. Any Tips for staying up without plipping??? I am using first gear while rolling real slow and I just punch the throttle. It comes right up with a little pull and my KLX is still bone stock.

Thanks

Could practice like this guy. Slow and steady. Keep your foot over the rear brake and when it gets too high, a stab of the toe will bring it down. Eventually (so I'm told) you will get to the point where you can modulate the rear brake to maintain balance.
