I know that, but it's a risk i'll take. That you tube video was pretty good, I'll try and follow that. And if I wreck my bike i'll just buy another one.

Just a hint...just because you don't have chicken strips, it doesn't make you good! And I'm sure you have chicken strips!
but if you really want to learn to wheelie, there is a site out there that you actually pay them to learn to wheelie. They let you ride thier specially custom bike made for wheeling with wheelie bars and all...
I forgot what the site is and don't feel like wasting my time to googling it...good luck on your mission ![Buuuuuuuuuuussssaaaaaaaaa!](images/smilies/busa_sign.gif) If you really want to know all ron.google.com

Dude if you just started riding keep riding and eventually it will come naturally. THROTTLE CONTROL IS KEY. Start off by doing power wheelies....they are very predictable. First gear power wheelies are probably the easiest because you know where the power comes on and where it doesn't so you wont get bucked off as if you clutched it up.
After you can hold your power wheelies for awhile try shifting into the next gear and hit second. Like I said this is all about throttle control. I've done back when I was into wheelies 1st gear power wheelie shifted to second and even then shifted to third. Once you become comfortable on your bike it comes naturally so if it's a new bike ride it alot FIRST. Then attempt to do wheelies once you know how its going to react.
Hopefully its just a phase because man that bike can do so much more than just wheelie!!! Good luck.....and when you get comfortable and want to try clutch wheelies ask me or someone you know can wheelie.

If it's the site I'm thinking of someone just died on one of their bikes recently trying to learn how to wheelie........ ![MooCow](http://sportbikeaddicts.com/images/smilies/moocow.gif)

Thanks for a real answer, I've just started looking for an older sportbike to do stunts on, so I don't have to worry about wrecking my new bike. And I don't want to be doing wheelies all the time, I just want to learn to do them so if I want to I can do it.

wow you guys really beat up on the poor guy he just wants to wheelie and you guys are like oh i got dibs on ur bike when you crash thats just not right
some people wanrt to learn how to wheelie just to get over the fear of it and just incase the bike pops up that they can handle it with out spazzing out
every one has to start some where
the cheapest thing for you to do is get on a quad or a dirt bike preferably a quad and learn brake control... brake control is when you clutch up the bike and use the rear brake like a pengilum to keep the bike from going over and from the frontend comming down ..you balance out the bike by feathering the rear brake and the throttle at the same time the more gas you give the more brake preassure you applie...you can learn this on the quad and transfer it to the street bike
its hard for me to type out all the steps but if you ever want to start learning i have a clean title stuntbike that is set up this way you dont have to mess up your nice bike
not sayin you will mess your bike up but there are only 2 types of riders...the ones who have been down....and...the ones who are gonna go down..
i know that is sort of harsh to say but it is very true..
but if you are willing and want to learn and know that it will come with some pain
hit me up i'll be more than glad to help some one out
hell i still fall its just a part of the game ![Wink](images/smilies/wink2.gif)

Update!
Well guys I managed to get some practice in before I parked it for the winter, I've gotten pretty good at the standups, just pushing down on the front forks and as it comes up rolling the throttle on and giving her a good pull. and I feel pretty comfortable hitting the balance point doing it this way. Over winter I'm dropping a tooth on the front sprocket and adding a Power Commander, so it should have a little more pop up ability. Anyhow I made it thru my first season without any accidents, and thanks to those who gave me some positive feedback. ![Ride](http://sportbikeaddicts.com/images/smilies/ride.gif) Look here no scratches or cracks.

I've been trying to teach myself too dude. They are hard/scary/dangerous and fun as hell when you start to get it. I started over the summer doing first gear roll ons, now I'm working on 2nd gear standup/bounce ups. I've got the idea, its just holding onto it that I need to do. Once I find 12 oclock I usually shit my pants and drop back forward. I have however gotten a few awesome awesome ones that I had to put back down due to upcoming road conditions or a car coming or something. But yeah wheelies are a hoot. I want to be able to just bring it up on command and hold it indefinetly.

I hear ya! it took me about a month of screwing around with first gear rollon's before I started feeling more comfortable at 12 o' clock, It's a crazy rush doing stand ups at 130k I can't imagine doing a wheelie at 200k.

Who gives a shit what you believe? Why would anyone just decide to make that up? And FYI I got to learn the standups cuz a good buddy of mine spent some time showing me how to wheelie and that is the way he taught me to do it, it aint Rocket science.

First of all, nobody said they were sick nasty at the one wheeled approach to sportbiking, so don't interpret either of our posts as stating we are stuntmaster superstars. Second, the only thing worse than people who go on forums and make up stories regarding their motorcycling abilities are people who accuse everyone but themselves of being that guy making shit up online. Supposedly there are alot of those out there, but don't throw AkR6 and I in the mix. I see no reason to try to discredit anybody.
