Idle wheelies, step one of becoming a "real" stunter. Whether you've been playing around with power wheelies for a while or never even attempted to get your front wheel off the ground, this method will put you on track towards smooth, controlled, slow idle wheelies.

i have a gsxr 04 i heard there balance point is really high up nd everytime i try to wheelie rear tire slids..i can only do sit down in first gear..

can anyone help me lol?

[stuntbums]

@wez923 Sounds like you're popping the clutch too hard - or you have a bad tire. Maybe try a stickier tire and really pay attention to how you pop the clutch, there is a way to ease it up - like riders have to in the rain, or when it's really cold. Gixxers/636/f4i it's all the same for that.

is this all with a stock sprocket???

[stuntbums]

@cplikat I did originally learn with a stock sprocket - but now I have a 60 tooth on my kawi.

@stuntbums ebay so steel subframe conversions for cheap or weld one up buddy ;-) a nylon block is good at the furthest point at the rear to avoid bending/ scraping or even cracking youre rear brace bar. also, if you go too far back and youre nylon block is wide enough, hopefully it will help the bike stay straight. ;-)

@stuntbums or youre pressure is too high buddy

Won't chainging the Idle make the bike run either too lean or not enough? unless it's mapped to idle at 2.5k?

sounds like she knows her stuff and defintely has our undivided attention.
