Default wheelies

i currently have a 300ex. i can get it up and ride it for a good 10-15 seconds but ive seen where people have ridden them for about a good minute. i can pull it up and ride it in 2nd gear. in 3rd gear i can get it up but it doesnt ride for very long. in low rpms its all good but with high rmps it gets up then bogs down. while im in 2nd gear people tell me to shift when the front starts to let down...ive done it...and theres no way possible to use the clutch when you shift into a wheelie so. i want to know how i can ride my wheelies for a while. if any one can help it would help me out alot.. i cant really do that sit down wheelie which i know means you cant do wheelies but when i put my foot on the back grab bar and pull it up and just balance it until the rpms get to high in 2nd gear....what gear do you recommend is the greatest. i would like to get real good at wheelies so i am skilled at it when i get my 05 predator 500

Practice,practice, then practice some more. You'll get the hang of shifting all 4 times.

u dont need to shift, just find your balance point, i can ride a wheelie for a constant 5-10 mile per our, but again i use the balance technic.

balance , the part you left out was the brake the brake has a way of keeping the speed down.

you dont have to use the clutch to shift gears, as long as the rpms are right, let off when you get up real high shift, gas it a bit ---smooth on the throttle, always though.

i drive a honda 400ex and to do this just wind out first gear and do not cluch it when you get it up just click it but be careful about the catch it has a tendency to jurk a little when i first tried it i succeeded but when i tried to show my friend i wrecked and tore my grab bar of and the best way to get used to riding them along time is to start on a grassy hillside but be aware that if it tries to come back and you do not hit your back brake in time you had better get up quick and stop it from comming back. that is how i learned i'm not saying it the best way but it worked for me . oh yea and do not put your nee on the set that will get you heart because your foot cant get to the foot brake
