First step is a basic "roll on
power wheelie". Basically,
you need a bike with enough
power to raise the front wheel
off the ground with simple
acceleration. You need to get
comfortable with the front end
getting "light". Most stock bikes
won't be able to do this
without some modification.
You can also try getting the
bike up to a good speed in first
gear(around 10-20 kph), once
you reach the powerband
(where the engine starts to go
faster with little throttle) let off
just a little, then give it a lot of
gas. Not so much gas that you
flip over, but a good amount.
You'll notice the front end pick
up, and if you let off the gas, it
goes back down. More gas
after the powerband will get it
up higher. If you don't have a
stabilizer, this would be the
ideal time to get one. Trying to
lift the bike off the ground and
then coming back down
suddenly will cause the front
tire to shake. If you don't land
almost perfectly straight, you
will do a highside (flip off the
bike over the front). You will
be hurting and so will your
bike.
2.Once you get comfortable
with the front end getting light,
try to carry the wheelie further
each time. After you are
comfortable with this move on
to the next step, which is
slipping the clutch.
Roll at about 10-20 kph in
first gear on.
3.Pull in the clutch and rev
the motor a little, then slip
the clutch. Do this a few times
with a little more gas each
time until you start to feel
comfortable with how high the
front end is coming up. The
front end will come up quicker
than a power wheelie, so be
prepared.
4.Once you are comfortable
getting the front up a little,
it's time to worry about throttle
and brake control. Use the
throttle to maintain the height
of the wheelie and the back
brake to keep from looping the
bike. Chopping the throttle
while in first will almost always
bring you back over, but you
will most likely slam the front
pretty hard.
