ok i have my 1st gear wheelies down pretty pat. now how do folks just cruising in 2/3/4th gears get the front end up for a wheelie? explain the technique as best u can plz. thx!

 

Well, what i do in 2nd, is when it is rolling after you pull in the clutch at half throttle in 2nd gear, lift your butt off the seat about 2 inches, rev the engine to about 3/4 throttle, then slam your butt back down on the seat and pop the clutch, it works for me everytime, try it and tell me how it works.

 

u must be a pretty bad driver im only 16 and 120 puonds and i can still haul mine up in 4th gear and i only have it piped jetter cam and air filter and i can even get it up in 5th gear if i have someone on back a honda 400ex is the best wheeieing bike out there so i dont know what ur problem it is shuoulc haul up in 2nd with out even hauling back on it and it should haul up in third if u are on pavement with out even hauling back its 4th and 5 that it starts to ger hard in and even if u cant do it just get it up in 1st then just shift through the gears doin a wheelie

 

When I test drove a 400 EX a couple months ago, I found that in 2nd gear I could just slide back in the seat, "bounce"(1) the throttle, and up it went...really quick. Since I was freezing to death and didn't want to crash it, that's about all I know though.

(1) rev it up a bit, back off, then get back on it.

Definitely not an expert,

 

wow, what a jerk

 

yup. er maby he just has a lot of self prid and thats ok will thats good but not when start thinking your better then evenone els around you. like alot of people on thes forums.

 

i never said i was better than any one i bet any one could do wheelies if they had practice i bet if he practices in a cople weeks he will be able to shift througth the gears doin wheelies its not that hard and you dont use the cluch to pop u just get it wide open in the gear ur in and let off the gas for a second and then punch it and it should haul up u have to lean forward then when u punch it bring all the weight to the back of the seat in third and 4th it will come up sloe

 

sorry there bud. din't mean it to seem like i was aiming that at you.. after your in here for a while you learn to just stay of othere peoples stupid fights. like my wheeler is better then yours and carp or bashing other brands ya know. for a min. there i thought you were one of them. welcome to the forums 440exguy.

i would say something along the lines of OH IM SORRY IM NOT AS GOOD AS YOU. but i dont need to, i have only been riding my bike for a week and how many times a week do you ride???

maybe next time you can gather a bit more information before you...

back to the topic,thanks for the suggestions guys!

 

hey i only had my bike for a day and i was still gettin it up in third and i only drive my bike once a day but this could be cause im used to driving bikes i had one since i was 4 my last bike was a yamaha 350 wolverine it has a cobra pipe and i still have it and a cr80 and i could wheeler that pretty good 2 its probably just because i was brought up around then u will probably get to be a good driver it just takes practice if i were you id say the easyest way to wheelie it is with some one on back its no problem to get it to wheele then and the balance point is lower so it dosent feel like ur gonna flip over
