[QUOTE="High Lord Gomer, post: 1388051, member: 16469"] Ryan, the four stroke was much easier to wheelie because merely letting off the gas was like applying the rear brake. On the 125 2 stroke there is almost no compression braking so you have to use the rear brake to control it if you get it up too far. It is counter intuitive, but a friend who was much better at them than me told me to bring the front wheel up while already "on the pipe" with a 2 stroke. That way, you wouldn't loop out when all of the power came on when you did get it on the pipe. Another friend, who was also much better than me (notice a pattern, here?), told me to starting feeding the rear brake in as soon as the front wheel left the ground. While practicing with a street bike errors are more costly and I learned to start small, always start applying the rear brake slightly as soon as the front came up, and it is better to set it down than to try to extend a wheelie that was in less than perfect control (kind of what happened to Ivan above).
