hii have a wr450f and havent had it long only a few months and want to learn how to do a wheelie i dont really have any idea what to do or how to go about it so i thought i would ask before attempting to do one and kill myself
 i know it will take time to get good at it but some tips on where to begin would be great thanks guysNovember 12, 2009 at 10:38 am #160725A slight long up hill is a good start, the best wheely I ever did was on the nundle ride, (in a paddock going up hill) I’m no expert but getting better, the KATA 400 makes it easier than the 250 but I’m still practicing. Some guys make it look so easy.
Cheers

November 12, 2009 at 10:41 am #160727:woohoo: I didn`t once say that I was keeoing my front wheel under any control whatsoever :laugh:

Practice and throttle control, cover the rear brake in case it starts to flip and Chris was right grassy uphill best

November 12, 2009 at 10:49 am #160729Its a WR 450,,,,,
Pop the clutch a little & she will stand up real quick !!!AT least Dan`s did when I had a ltiile ride on it at louee

Now the KLX,,,,,,Thats almost an impossible task as TB will confirm :blink:
 Good Luck Whanny,
It just takes a little patience & practiceI`m actually surprised that TB hasn`t already given a tip or two or ten

He does some awsome wheelies on the fiddy :woohoo:So does Moto on the 450 kato , in the fog & half cut :blink: :silly:
November 12, 2009 at 10:49 am #160754Definately will whanny, I’m finding that as I get better obstacles on the trail are much easier to overcome, logs, holes etc become very easy to get over, basically I go down a gear and pull the clutch rev the F out of it drop the clutch whilst pulling up on the bars and pushing your weight towards the back of the bike… Practice Practice Practice… Do as I say not as I do

TB beat me by 10 seconds again

Baaaahhhh snort snort Baaahh haaaaaa :laugh: :laugh: Eags you are a classic :laugh: I remember you keeping kermit on the ground a bit to often :laugh: a certain mudhole in the watagans springs to mind :laugh:
Whanny, start slow mate,pop little wheelies in an open paddock or on a beach then slowly gain confidence and increase your speed. The yamaha 450 is an easy bike to wheelstand,but it can quickly spit you off bigtime as well
