Adventure Motorcycles riding tips

AdMo-Tours.com is presenting dual sport riding techniques for adventure motorcycles like the KTM 950 or BMW R1200GS, etc. The riding academy was held at the El Mirage OHV dirt bike riding area in Southern California. This video is teaching you how to lift your front wheel to wheelie across a hole or obstacle.

I agree with the comments that this maneuver should be well known to any adventure riders. Reality is that a growing number of riders getting from street bike riding into adventure riding, never been on the dirt before and wonder why the bike cant handle off-road as promised by the manufacturers advertising's.

The day we shoot this clip I searched for a bigger hole but we ran out of time and so we showed you this tip on the terrain we got. If you interested in some classes let me know.

It is a combination of fathering the clutch, letting the clutch go combined with acceleration just a foot or so before the front wheel gets to the obstacle. In addition you can see me preloading the front suspension with letting my weight drop a bit and “jumping” my weight slightly back without getting of the pegs. A slight pull on the bars often helps too. You can analyze this buddy position in the picture at 2:30 minute.

Do they use the clutch to make the bike wheelie slightly or just the throttle?

@graemelockieable You do realize dual sport bikes start on lower end cc as well, right? People have been know to start n 600 cc for christ sake, a dual sport on a lower cc would technically be a 'small' bike compared to that.

This is simply absurd & mind boggling to me. Any one who has finally graduated to one of these amazing machines had bloody well better know how to ride already. I thought maybe they were going to show some useful adventure riding tips. If you are such a noob that you don't already know this basic technique then you have no business being on one of these bikes! I am eternally frustrated that people aren't willing to start small & graduate to a larger bike as skill & experience allows.
