hey everybody..well..I've started to ride wheelies and shift up through the gears...I started tryin this yesterday and stayed on it for about 30 minutes and I managed to get to 3rd...today I got on and got to 4th....I just can't quite keep it up there to get to 5th....anybody have any advice besides practice practice practice??!?! lol..

 

anyone?????????????????????????

 

HA I can't even get to second, but Im old and heavy and have a great adversion to landing on my rear
Do you have to drop the clutch to get it up or just pull back? We had to drop the clutch (which I don't like to do) before we got the pipe and stuff but now I can just lean back and she'll go up, just not for very long.
The boy stands on the back rack to do it, he can ride one in 1st till he runs out of room(can't reach the shifter since hes feet are on the rack), its funny seeing a wheelie that slow for so long. I think Honda came out with the ES Recon to fix this

 

I have a Honda 250ex. I have had it for a month and i can ride wheelies from first to fourth but I can't hit the last gear. I think there isn't enough power

 

I put my feet on the back rack b/c I don't weigh enough to just throw my weight back but when I get it up enough I take and I put my leg up there to shift and just balance it out then I can keep my leg up there but when I get to 4th it won't stay up.....goes down...oh well....I'll get it one day...

 

once in fourth gear, you have to come back a little further with the front end and then shift really quick or the front will drop. i find the balance point in fifth is easier to stay with because the power is not as strong on top so its not as jerky as 1st,2nd, and 3rd. just be careful when you land on the rack on accident, dont let it drag on the ground because eventually your plastic will crack like mine did. if it does crack just use the smallest drill bit you can find and drill a small hole at the end of the crack so it wont go any further.

 

what happens if you land on the rack in 5th gear??? the highest gear I've hit the back rack on is 2nd and I can put my feet down and run fast enough and give it a good push to put it back down but what about in 5th? would it flip or what?

 

could you just hit the back brake? would that put it down?
