How to Slow Wheelie ANY Bike with FOOTBRAKE - (Wheelie Anything ep. 4) 

That’s awesome!

If it’s weightless and you’re on the throttle it’s balance point, if it weightless and you’re off the throttle and the bike is slowing down without the front end coming down it’s behind balance point

If you have foot brake on lock it’s fine but the highway definitely isn’t the place to learn or progress. I started off on the highway like most people and now that I’ve got it down I’ve started doing highway wheelies again, but for people trying to improve the lot is really the best place

Usually I say muscle memory but I chose not to because it’s really more than that. Foot brake should be your automatic reflex just like when the doctor taps your knee in a check up. Muscle memory is kind of more like the feel for how much brake you should give, but being a reflex is a reaction to foot brake based on where the bike is at

That’s a good idea. For the most part body position is just however you’re comfortable and a good psi is around 20-25. I will say though, if you’re having issues wobbling side to side, sitting close to the gas tank can help vs sitting way in the back of your seat

@@jar7d 👍Thanks for the tip

Just have to push yourself out of your comfort zone. But try to work on being less wobbly first

I’ve tried it a little but I really have no idea how they do it. I mean I kinda get what they’re doing but if I tried I’d probably pancake

From Amazon

The R7 has one, not the fz09. It’s not necessary for wheelies though, it just helps for circle wheelies. I wheelie stock bikes all the time

I don’t run higher idle and I don’t have a tune. If you can’t let off the throttle and still be dipping you’re just not far enough back. My bike has a 54 tooth sprocket so I most likely have more engine brake than you, you’ll just have to go higher or maybe try a higher gear

@jar7d Got it👍 thanks for the reply, this helps. And these tutorials are top notch 👌 If you have any tips on one-handed sit downs/knee knockers, I would love to see that.

B mode 2nd gear usually. Sometimes 1st but mainly 2nd

For advanced stuff sometimes but not with a basic wheelie

Probably 20-25

Tnx dude @@jar7d

Whatever you wheelie best with. I wouldn’t go less that like 15 though

Yes

In this video probably all second gear but depending on what I’m trying to do I could use gears 1-4

Yeah when you pass it you let off the gas completely, when you’re in balance point though you stay in the gas

Stock fz09, and the r7 is stock front with a 52 in the back

Probably like 4 or 5

@@jar7d learning rn on MT07 brand new, soon will upload new videos!

😂

I don’t know if that’s worth the risk lol

🤣🤣 i agree groms r more difficult than the big bikes for some reason 😅

Yea bro seems like you completely missed the first 2 minutes where I said if you don’t know brake control to just work on popping up and immediately footbraking. This video isn’t about learning footbrake to avoid looping it’s about the precision with it to actually control the bike and the way you dip to control speed in a pack or set the 12 bar down nice for a scrape. And this is for any bike, what you’re recommending is basically only useful for a grom. Anyone who wants to learn with only a difficult bike like a stock 600 or liter bike is not gonna pop from a dead stop. And anyone too short to really get both feet on the ground is gonna drop their bike slamming it down at a dead stop. And the way I teach about popping it up and immediately foot braking wouldn’t make anyone loop as long as they actually hit the foot brake like I tell them to. They would loop the same from a dead stop too if they get spooked and don’t hit the brake, the only difference is they’d probably get less hurt.

@@jar7dhitting the brake to catch the bike is more advanced. They should start off with pressure already on the back brake, and pull up slow. The idea is get comfortable with the bike at 12 when it's going slow. You dont want to experience the 12 o clock feeling while going fast for the first time because people panic. You should be able to pop clutch and park bike on its tail withing a couple feet before doing faster wheelies. You started the video right but they should just keep practicing at slow speed first.

If you try to foot brake with abs your wheel won’t lock and it will let you loop

@@jar7d But what's the reasoning behind that, it would still let you brake so wouldn't it just be safer to not lock up the rear? Or will the brake not work at all because of the ABS-sensor?
