wheelies on a 2-stroke

[Oldshell4481]

in second gear on my 200e i can ride forever, i just put my foot on the rack and balance, of course with it being a hard tail it is wicked easy. impossible to shift gears while in a wheelie though, might have something to do with an auto-clutch.

On my ytm200e i put it in second, and punch the gas a little and it pops up like nothing, I can go for a long time and I have shifted from 2nd to 3rd while wheeling, its hard because youve got to lean it so far back so when you let off the gas it dosnt go back down as fast. But when you get in the third gear, it goes too fast and you have to let it down. (I dont put my foot on the grab bar either, thats cheating, haha). The YTM's wheelie a lot easier then ATC's because the motor is further back in the frame

In my expierence you can just about pull a wheelie on anything, sometimes it takes arm strength, other times just the balls to jam the throttle and dump the clutch!!!!

I can get threw a few gears sometimes on my blaster and its a 2 stroke ,my atc i can hang the wheel for a while and just creep around at slow speeds.

250R's are the best wheelie machines ever. When I lived in Ohio and had big enough fields to ride in I could start in 1st, go all the way to 6th and then back down to 1st again without ever putting the front tire down. Z's are pretty good for wheelies too.

This is the only example I have. It isn't a very good one (not much room) and no, my hair doesn't look like that anymore.

In the process of mastering it though, I did manage to run over my own leg WHILE doing a wheelie. Now THAT took some serious skill.

I think I have to agree that the 250R may be the wheelie master. I can roll along in 1st and hit the throttle to lift the tire then using the power just keep shifting through the gears until I let it back down in 6th. I get on the highway and pass cars with the front tire in the air at 60 mph. On a powerful 2 stroke balance has nothing to do with it. It is all about getting the front tire up and using the power to chase it. To much throttle and you better have your foot on the brake to set it back down. You basically do not use balance to keep the tire up,that is for a slow wheelie. For a fast wheelie you gotta use power. Ever see a street bike do a wheelie. The bike has enough power to keep the weight of the front end up,and also enough power to flip over backwards. It is all about throttle control........

I used to ride wheelies on my tri motor all the time I usually started them in second and I could usually get it into third but no more power after third. I'd get a little crazy sometimes and bend the rear bar but oh well I can do them way better on a bike .

I was pretty comfortable riding wheelies through all of the gears with my 250sx. And one day me and my buddy were riding doubles and for the last wheelie of the day we decide to make it up a hill. So we pull it up in 5th (this was when it was totally stock so a good pull and a yank were necessary) and were riding it just fine and about near the 1/6th mile mark we are near the top of the hill and i overcooked it just a little bit. So the bike goes back and my buddies getting the full force of the ground and my weight against him at about 45 mph. So he finally falls off and I am shocked as hell but just fine. I got up to go talk to him and he was pretty scratched up. I felt horrible so since then I don't do as many wheelies or go as far.

i would have to say that i can ride the best wheeleis on my old 200s and my 200x i have now, the 200x i like to ride them in 2nd gear and my 200s i had 1st gear.
