aliright when your in a wheelie in 2nd. pull in the clutch use your left foot to lift up the shift lever so it will go into 3rd.. then ....let out the clutch. the next thing you'll know your in 3rd.

Ah, don't feel bad - I can't even shift from 1 - 2 in a wheelie. Just can't balance and shift at the same time... of course I can't walk a chew gum at the same time either. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

LOFL!!

Ok, first, when you are balanced in 2nd, give it a little more gas to where it is on the verge of coming back past the balance point, then in a lightning fast motion- shift into third, and as it starts to fall down give it some gas, this will keep it from falling. DONT be afraid if you feel it start to come back on you, just hit the rear brake while holding on, the fear will go away after you do this a few times.

I had a 1986 atc 250r three-wheeler that i spent the winter restoring, we were riding down a gravel road . I down shifted from 4th to 3rd and brought the front end up. I was wheeling pretty darn good for a long ways , so i figured id grabe another gear. the nose droped and i gased it , powerband came on and that was the end of it . the rear grab hit ,she did a 180 ,landed headlight,front fender,handelbars,radiator,and gas cap down.bloody elbows and a rasberry the size of a pancake on ur a$$ is'nt worth it . I would practice ,knee on the seat and ready to abandon ship.

dont use the clutch, pratice without it because it will fall alot less when u let off the gas,
it wont hurt it power shifting it if you let off the gas. Once you learn to do it then learn with the clutch and it will be alot easier.

NP, but i forgot to add, when you are in 2nd gear, be at about 3/4 throttle, and THEN with that little bit of extra power, pull it back on top of the balance point. If this doesnt seem to help, just lemme know and ill try to think of an easier way to do it. BTW, if you have the fear of falling backwards, put your foot up on the grabbar, your other on the brake, and pop it up to its balance point and ride it a little and purposely, make it come back to the grabbar, this lets you know that it WILL NOT come back on you, this is also the technique i used to master the "creeper" wheelie ( very slow wheelie) sitting down, hope this helps.
