I got Up on 1!!!

[R6spdTerror]

So I got up on one yesterday, by powering my wheelies ! The way I do it is, I quickly gas it up to 25mph in 1st gear, let off the gas, and rip the throttle! Im comfortable this way and feel Im being easier on my bike. I only get about a foot of air, and I want to get higher! Is there anything Im doing wrong? What form do I use? Can I some day 12 0 clock by wheeling like this?!

No power wheelies...always clutch it up...power wheelies will get u hurt.

Ok, i am completely going against my beleifs telling you this , but since clutching is somehing you will do when you get on the track as well, try this out:
Get to where ever your power band is. Keep your throttle hand steady. With one finger, pull the clutch in and let it off very quickly; almost like flicking the clutch. You bike should have wanted to come up very smoothly. Try this out a couple of times and then just add gas as you get more comfortable. Also everytime you do a wheelie, put $4 aside. you will need it when you need to replace your springs, your seals, or your triple clamp assembly or maybe even your frame. Make sure that when you come down from the wheelies you don t just pull the clutch in and let tthe bike drop, that's how you break shit. Come down smoothly. Oh that reminds me, always have your foot on the brake or your hand ready to grab the clutch in case you over shoot it.

i thought power wheelies done by cruise around 5k rpm then wot? i tried this it didnt came up
now your way is kind of promising, tried this for long time it got up but no consitent may be lack of practise.When you close the gas did you open up stright away or pause a bit. any set of rpm when u rip the gas.
