How to do a wheelie on a dirt bike?

Question

it's a 200cc four stroke, nearly brand new

well i know of two methods, first one is from a still position and in first gear, rev it up and pop the clutch out, that works for me, but what else they say about it is also true... that by the time you got the front wheel in the air you will have already peaked PRMS, meaning you either blow the bike, or blow your wheelie....

the other one i heard recent is from a very slow speed and in 2nd do the same thing, rev it up and pop out the clutch. i've been trying this and it will just not work the tire wants to get off the ground bad but just odens' thave quite enough pick up power.... am i missing something here or am i doing everything?

Answer 1

any gear preload the front suspension and just as the front end rebounds gas it

Answer 2

Answer 3

you can start in first and when the front is up you can shift to second. i had a 350X 3 wheeler that i would ride wheelies on for 4 miles. i could start in first and go all the way to sixth and back to first without dropping the front. it just takes practice.

Answer 4

Hit the gas, pop the clutch, and hold on tight. Enjoy.

Answer 5

You can drive it in second gear, then down shift  back to first while still moving, and then pop the clutch while gasing it. You can do this in 3rd gear also, ... Drive in 3rd , down shift to 2nd and pop the clutch and gas it.
