[QUOTE="ButtonFly, post: 33869, member: 16889"] I can do the venerable wheelie on an xr 100. Or my little brother's RM80, or my littlest bro's z50 monkey bike. Ever see On any sunday? Remember that kid on the z50? Heck yeah. I weigh in about 185 (nekked [img]http://dirtrider-forum.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif[/img] ) so anybody should be able to do it. On of the keys to doing a wheelie is selecting an easy gear to do it in. Second on the Xr, first on the rm. On a four stroke speed up until you are at least in the power range. Chop the gas, allowing the bike to slow down, and then hit it all the way. The chopping the throttle compresses the front, and you don't have to pull the bars hard, or as hard. On a two stroke speed up until you are just over the powerband, then chop the throttle again. When you hit the throttle it will be right at the powerband, and the wheel will be in your face. If you can, practice going uphill. That way you have the wheel already above horizontal, and it takes less work. If you want to be even lazier, get one of the farm quads, with stiff suspension and loads of torque (Honda Recon comes to mind) and put it in first. Automatics are also sweet for this. Role down the hill just a little, and hit the gas all the way. Make sure you let it off eventually unless you like sitting under whatever you are riding. Four strokes are easier to learn on, since there is no pipe worrys, but two strokes can get it up easier. <--- generalization disclaimer*** [img]http://dirtrider-forum.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif[/img] good luck. And wear your safety gear. [/QUOTE]
