If you're just starting try the foot brake technique, wind your throttle to unload the suspension, press on the rear brake to compress the forks but leave your throttle on, not full but a decent amount, as you release the rear brake the wheel will lift, start low and work up, it's more predictable than the clutch... once you get used to lifting and carrying, then move onto the clutch, just my opinion, there's less chance of looping it. TOP TIP: ALWAYS COVER THE REAR BRAKE !
what happened at 14:11 is exactly why learning to wheelie like this is stupid, its not a conventional power wheelie as hes using clutch but wheelies like this rely solely on popping the wheel slightly and just accelerating hard, the issue is youre not gonna learn to get to balance point like this as you have to keep increasing speed getting more and more dangerous as you ''wheelie'' my advice would be to get something small like a grom where you cant rely on power and learn proper technique, you will crash learning like this
It's not good idea for anyone to learn doing wheelie with that kind of motorbikes, is dangerous, need first something very very low power and to learn to push brakes ,after litlle bit litlle bit you can go for something bigger 😉, and always HELMET 😉 GOOD LUCK
So I've been finally practicing wheelies as I've stopped being such a pussy. within 3 days I've learned how to ride out a power wheelie pretty confidently along with modulate the rear brake to control height. All I can say is practice practice practice and get used to how the bike reacts to throttle. I use B mode and traction mode 1. Lifts so easily in second gear at 30mph for a base line, get used to modulating the throttle to control the front end and cover the back brake and start tapping it with you feel the front getting too high for you. Learn how to modulate it as just a bump of the rear brake brings the front down tremendously. Hit balance point this afternoon for the first time and I can't explain the adrenaline rush you get being able to ride out a fully wheelie and if you have a quick shifter like me you can shift up during wheelies. What a thrill!!!! Fucking love these bikes
I'm new to hyper naked bikes. Find it difficult a bit because of the torque and the upright sitting position as it wants to push you back in a way that you need to hold the bars tight when you acelarate. Also own a MT09.
I’m 5 months into my mt09sp; get a steering damper 100%; a small windscreen helps a bit and honestly doing some abs/core work to stabilize you on the bike and will help you keep a lighter grip on the handle.
That's a good video and I wanna try wheelies so badly but I also have in mind my how much I paid for my MT-09 and if something goes wrong a lot of cash is gone because of silly driving. But I gotta try it sometime maybe next year. I need to save some cash in case I need a new bike. lol 😬😬😂😂
Just to let you know ur actually not using the clutch your clutch throttle timing is wrong so ur actually just doing a power wheelie kinda let go grab bsck wheelie☺️😂
Ive watched so many wheelie videos how to do it with the MT09, Ive had mine for about 5 months and left Traction control on level 1 (ride a `16 Rn29) Ive only accidently made a smal wheelie while I was passing somebody ,probably because i hit a pothole on the other side of the road. Im scared to mess up the forks and also drop the bike at those speeds.
I’ve Got a ‘16 abs model with TCS aswell. First of all; turn of the tcs. It will hinder you from doing anything other than a small power wheelie. Second; switch to B-mode. It will be a lot less jerky and therefore a lot safer. After that it’s all about seat time. Practice, practice and practice . Start out with your front wheel low and get comfortable at that hight riding out the wheelie with the gas to save your steering bearings. Once you are comfortable with your front wheel 2-3 feet of the ground, start practicing foot brake control and readiness (spelling?). “Gixxer brah” has a great video about this. Good luck to you m8! And remember, it takes A Lot of practice. I’m at the point of learning to be comfortable and get stable wheelies just below balance point, which took about a month or two(1-2 hours, 1-2 times a week), including last season.
Was thinking about trading in mye 890 duker with a superduke gt 2018 mod, i had test run on it yesterday and i wasnt so impressed, the front felt unstaple in the turns and the engine felt detuned. Any reason how to explane this? It had all panniers on, but is that the Main reason?
I have an XSR900 (same engine) and im wondering, is it best to learn in A mode w/out TC or can i pop it up with TC 1 or 2 on? Or standard mode with out TC mode?
You are talking crap mate....a beginners bike!!!...It would scare the shit out of an experienced biker....this is a 1000cc beast producing a conservative 150 bhp (2018)model and if you had revved the bike as it should have been revved it takes off like a nuclear missile and would certainly leave your MT in the dust...you didn't get anywhere near the powerband with your pussy gearchanges....learn how to ride mate..how do I know this?? I've got one!!!
