Wheelies

[DrzWheelie]

I just got my bike and I got a drz 125, i want to know how to do a wheelie

Whatever you do... don't do it like this...

I laugh inside everytime I see a wheelie thread that truespode has replied to. That's just greatness.

When you learn to wheelie a bike, you WILL perform the manuever shown above at least once. You WILL pick the gravel out of your butt cheeks, replace the rear fender, handlebars, seat cover, and possibly other parts. Do not make the statement, "Hey guys, watch this!" before attempting this manuever for as you have seen, your friends have cameras!
BTDT to many times to count.

is it harder to wheelie a dirt bike or a quad cuz i tried to wheelie a little KX 65 and i flipped off of it, it wasnt even mine.

the 65 is one of the worst because of the violent hit of the power. Smooth power delivery (XRs) are much easier to control.

yea its def. alot easier to controle a 4 stroke during a wheelie, much smoother and even power delivery, unlike a 2 stroke where the powerband will throw you off the back in a second, just ask my friend, who after a few days of owning his 03 cr125 flipped over the back doing a wheelie when his powerband hit, but he was ok after a short trip to the doctor to get some stitches and a trip to the shop to get a few houndred worth of parts (bars, fender, seat cover, and a subframe.)

There have been several threads in the Riding Techniques forum. I did a search for Wheelie and came up with several that had good advice: http://www.dirtrider.net/forums3/search.php?searchid=146410

It's cool, I don't have crooked butt any more.

Like I said, BTDT more than once.
