wild foamy Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 sell the MT-03 and get a jawa, much easier on them, just keep your foot pressed down on the gearlever to disengage the clutch, build up the revs and let go of the gear lever, the clutch engages and off you go dont forget your MT is only a little single so dont expect it to go up easy (ooh er, missus), standing on the rear footpegs does make wheelieing easier as the majority of your weight is transferred to the back end. oh, and make sure your mates are filming it on their camera phones so they can upload the videos onto youtube and we can all have a good laugh when you drop it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just a question of experience and balance coupled with enough money to fix it WHEN you get it wrong. When that happens on a pushbike you just get up but it can have some nasty concequences on a motorbike. Its all about balance point which is quite high, the same as the sweet spot when you whelie a mountain bike. Its high enough to sort of float, needs very little effort to keep it there. When you have hoisted it you need to cover the rear brake to stop you going over the top. I can't do it, well at least not with any style and i've bust enough taillights to know when to give up. OH BTW it WILL kracker your steering head bearings and your headlight assy will fall to bits, have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ttaskmaster Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 you can whelie anything. I'd love to see someone manage it on my Dragstar!!! Try this; Find a long, wide stretch of straight, level, empty road to practice on. Pull away in 1st and rev it up to speed. At the point where you'd normally shift up, just pull in the clutch and let it coast. The speed will drop away slowly. Then give it some serious revs on the throttle and let the clutch out. Experiment with how far you let the clutch out. Start by letting it out and then pulling it in straight away. Remember to make sure the bike is perfectly upright when you start fucking about on it, else you'll high and/or low side the thing.

barwell1992 Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 cheers for that i thoght that was the way you did it properly but wasent sure but will have to wait to try it when i have my crosser or a bike i paid for lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilninggas Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 cover the back brake (^^^), in first ride up to have of the available revs, tottle along at this speed (will no doubt sound revvy). When you are ready, just whip the throttle open. Be prepared for it to come up fast (this is prob what happened to you the other day). I find standing on the pegs makes this a lot easier. go steady.

Ttaskmaster Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Now now, children.... No need for a pissing contest!!! Me and Sven got an electra glide up in the air 2 up Does that weigh 230kgs and have only 40bhp? That's MASSIVE next to my Drag!! If you can indeed wheelie anything, do it with a Tank!!!! People who behave like that on the public road get the rest of us a bad name. Hence me directing him to a proper school, where he can go to safely learn this. He never precisely said it was on private land.... but neither did he say it was public road, either... Hi don't loose it sunshine, were exactly does it say you WERE ON PRIVATE LAND, a tip for you use spell check . So he ain't the only one, then? Seriously though, let it go. OK, so he's not exactly behaving himself, but he's having fun and not hurting anyone else. He's also taking steps to ensure he isn't going to hurt anyone else. Let him get on with it, let him learn at a proper school and if he falls of and hurts himself, just smile sweetly and mercilessly take the piss out of him. No worries, eh!!!
