ok i dont know how to do a stand up wheelie i can sit down and pop it up but its really hard to ride out cause i feel like i am going over. do i stand on my passenger pegs of mine own keeping the bike brake covered??

 

[DangerDoom]

im no wheelie expert, but i am just copying everyone else.

try staggered, left foot on passenger peg, right foot on front peg covering the back break. bounce/clutch it up.

Doing it staggered feels VERY akward at first, but its def. the way to rock it. Easy o balance once you get the feel of it. I still don't understand how to cover the brake while the bike is completely straight up....i never used the brake before...I just use the engine brake to brake while up on 1. Buutttttt I am still learning so don't listen to me.

I've gotten wicked comfortable doin the sitdowns so when i try standups the balance is so different im still kinda cautious... i dont have passenger pegs though so i feel like im 12 feet in the air when i put it up haha

like i have said before, i gave my 600rr up for a new 06 1k rr. but i have been on mr dirts 600rr and did a few wheelies on his a few days ago. i started out doing some 1st gear sit downs, the put it into 2nd gear doing about 45 ish i think it was and bounced it up with my left foot on the back peg and right foot covering break.came up real nice. not like my 1k but it came up after about 3 times of tring. bp was really easy to get to also. just remember when you think you to far, your not far enough. thats what i tell myself. listen to your bike, it will tell you where the bp is, along with the feel of the bike. when you hit that bp, its like heaven on wheels. trust me, you will know when you hit it. thanx again dirt for letting me rock your rr.

 

[shinerbock]

o yea, when i did the 2nd gear wheelies, i was standing. standing is sooooo much easier than sit downs.

staggered will feel like you are going to tip over won't it?

im doing pretty well with sit-downs, getting to bp now and then, so i hear bp is a lot easier to do on standups. so here i need your help. when your starting out doing standups how is your body positioned? i just feel so awkward even standing like that(pass peg and brake), just feels wrong. anyways what im asking is are your arms fully extended so your body is streight back, or are you arms compressed and musles tight? is your back streight and back. or bent at the waist? knees bent or streight?

i tried once with my arms bent but when i slipped the clutch i guess i didn't keep my muscles tight enough and my body flew back(like i almost fell of the back lol). so yeah, any tips would rock.

thanks!

i tend to move around alot, keeping the bike balanced. if it's just lurching on you and not coming up, give it more gas.

gotta remember tho, i'm 6' tall and those are dirtbike bars.

 

[tek]

thanks, ill play around with it more when i get my cage in, and a new rear brake lever(mines shortened lets say haha). i just got my rear sproket on today, haven't had a chance to ride with it yet, so now im 15/45. pretty excited about that. i think i needed to give her more gas. i only tried stand ups once and i didn't really commit.

oh and im 6'2

thanks

 

[Ceph]

no prob bro, that's what i'm here for.

 

[xdime00]

I can do sitdowns easy and rock em for a good distance. I have no problem commiting and getting the bike to stand up, but when Im trying stand ups that initial force pushes me back and I end up sitting on the passenger seat lol. Can anyone post a pic of body position before they stand it up? I just dont feel very stable the way im standing and I know im doing something wrong.
