How to Wheelie Motorcycle for Beginners (Any Bike!)

" I hope you're ready to drop your bike because everybody does." Words I needed to hear cause I am definitely not ready to drop mine.

When I first started riding(day 3 / brand new bike off the floor) I did an accidental wheelie from a stop sign and it was only scary after realizing I didn't mean to do that. Some people saw it and started cheering... lmao if only they knew..

man THIS was the cleanest wheelie explanation/tutorial Ive seen. Even the camera focusing on your hand while on the clutch. Thanks.

My ex can help you if you can't get it up. I heard she gave mores rides than Greyhound. Let me know I'll give her your number.

When I ride two up with my girlfriend on my GSXR 600 I struggle trying not to hit the balance point through the first 3 gears. It keeps trying to power wheelie. I guess a 600 isn't big enough. I'm saving my money up to buy a lighter girlfriend.

I never wanted to do wheelies and I always found it look showoff.. But the way you describe it and just enjoy it, actually makes me wanna try it.. You just make it look fun like when I was a kid on a bicycle.. Great video and awesome explanation!

thanks for the tips brian!! this vid actually helped me like no other!! I just moved from Chicago to Riverside, CA 3months ago & bought a 2000 ZX6J and this helped out alot with my beginner wheelies today!!

First off i would like to thank you very much. I have a stock z900 and have about 3 years riding experience. Never attempted a wheelie in my life. After following your steps and replaying your video 100 times to look at the hand movements, two hours later i can get the front wheel up now no problem thanks to you. Still have a hard time with a smooth landing but fuck it i can wheelie now. Fellas, like he said, slowly work your way up. First couple times you’ll barely get it up but thats the most important part because thats the part you feel if you need to give more gas. More gas sounds scary but trust me you’ll want to give it more and more just to get that %#@ up. You literally feel the weight shift slowly towards the back. Just remember to do it on a street that has zero traffic. As for the conditions, i learned it in first gear and my stance was how it normally would be as if i was riding, extra body weight more towards the rear helps. Cant thank you enough bro, but this video is definitely one of the best explanations and simplest way to understand how to wheelie.

When learning how to wheelie, the most important thing to do, and I can't stress this enough, use someone else's motorcycle.

"Preload" the rear brake. That's almost engaging the friction but keeping slight pressure on it. This will not only give you a better feel for feathering it will also eliminate any delay and help keep you from looping out the bike.

One of the better wheelie tutorials out there, thanks for the post - just subscribed

Seriously man glad to see you back. Great video! I am learning to ride on my DRZ 400 and this video is cool to watch how you do

Going to go try this on my Goldwing 👍

I've probably watched every review on RU-vid and yours was the only one that realy helped me .

Just started to learn how to wheelie, first day I felt defeated, 2nd session definitely more confident about the feeling of when the wheel lifts up. Hardest part is staying on the gas when it lifts up, automatically first reaction is to let off

SOB man...you make it look and sound so damn easy! That means you’re a pro. Nice vid 🤟👍

The way he explains how a rev limiter sounds is gold

About to buy a stunted 636 this weekend, will definitely rewatch this video to help me learn

Been watching your vids for a while and just got a grom to start stunting on for a few weeks now. Can’t believe I just came across this video you’ve came a long way man love the videos

Excellent ytv brother. Very informative. Nice to watch a vlog w/o having to fight through the usual attempted humor and long stretches of silence.

After a few weeks im starting to get more comfortable getting around balance point and getting better wheelies now. I.think the weirdest thing is getting my hand and foot used to working throttle/ brake while in that balance position. It's just a lot of fun learning man.

A good addition to this video, as great as it was, is how to come down softly. =Because as I'm learning how to wheelie I've had the most trouble coming down too hard. Thanks for the tutorial man!!

Thanks, this is the most in depth descriptive wheelie video ive watched

Glad your gonna start uploading again always enjoy watching rider s from back home especially marines hahah rahhh. Im from lake county and used to watch ur vids back in the day.

I wish I had a bike to practice on, Id never forgive myself if I wrecked my bike practicing.

Leaving a like for the few last seconds, that was crazy!

I wish you see how big of an idol you are to me bro ✊😀 i love the way you've improved with video quality and so on. I think it'll take ages before i'll get where you are now, thank you for these videos keep it up! 🙂

“I could pull in the clutch and go *turkey gobble*” hahaha idk why but i died at that 😂

That’s by i90 right off of the north exit no?

Been watching a lot of vids. This has been the best. So thanks a lot my guy

I have an Aprilia SVX and I am a Noob!!! I watch your finger on front brake lever more than anything (while street riding). Want to be able to pop wheel up when I want, enjoy your vids.

I legit have been trying to learn wheelies for a few weeks now and every time i know im going to loop out i panic and forget to hit the rear brake, like today i snapped my peg off and snapped my handle bars 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

I was excited to get out there and give it a shot until you said that everyone drops their bike and be ready to sacrifice your bike and body. 😂

just bought a lifan kp mini 150, and here we go! thanks for the vid

Huge fan. Thanks for the video. Anyone else here stunt with a 500? Loving it but got to perfect my wheelies

Thanks for putting this back up! just so you know I picked up a cocks cage/sub and round bar because of your recommendation. I'm digging it so far.

"I could pull in the clutch and go PALALALALALA!!"

Nice! Just found your channel looking for how to wheelie vids lol I'm north of Chicago in between there and Milwaukee. subbed

It was awesome to see you kill it at ROC this year, Hope to see ya again soon!

Thank you for good tips

Just looped my bike on Sunday, broke the rearset for my footbrake...good times! 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

I remember Watchibg this vid when it came out and i think you had 3k subs. Crazy that you have almost 77k now! Wow

Dang lol looks super cool not ready to drop my 2020 z900. Not sure why all these videos started popping up in my feed , will build the courage one day 🙏

At 611 Listen closely. Are you willing to sacrifice your bike and body? If so. Proceed to the practice spot

I've been practicing on my Z125 in hopes of learning with less risk, but the problem I'm having is it seems like I can't feel anything while using the rear brake. It's like no feed back feeling when I press it unless I really smash it. Hoping to progress this into an actual stunt bike later down the road.

Such great control I’m very intrigued by people that have this much control wheeling. I wanna learn. Popping the clutch is probably the easiest way to get the front wheel up huh? Not like a dirtbike where you can be in second gear and gas it and pick it up.

you have the best instruction so far...semper fi bro

I’ve been practicing for like maybe 40 hours so far and still haven’t dropped my bike and I’ve hit balance point and rode it almost 45 feet. I bet it’s possible to not drop it while practicing.

+brain_636 You are by far the best wheelie tutorial channel I have come across, already seen a ton of wheelie vids by you all great. Exactly what's needed to get started. Thanks, can't wait to peep the rest of your $#iT. -Luis

You are the man bruh.keep up the great work.

Just pop it up a bit on the klr 650 made my heart flutter LOL great videos brian Btw love those hood eats

Brian, I am an old timer, 50 now; but used to do wheelies in open parking lots on the weekends in the 1980s. Can you tell me a little about your clutch on the 636. The Ninja has a powerful clutch that makes wheelies effortless. I never got on my balance point simply because I did not have a crash bike in the 1980s and stopped doing stunts in my mid 20s. The Ninja had an annoying clutch but a powerful one that made dropping the clutch so simple. Also, the tail end comes out easy; I have had scary moments with a loose rear tire. Back to my question, can you tell me or do a video on the clutch system you have; looks like the same on the right brake. One other tip for beginners, a speed bump will get you up quick if you are scared to let it rock on that first drop of the clutch. Some people do not have the power or the clutch to lift a bike so I used to tell them to launch the tire on a speed bump if they are apprehensive about a first time wheelie. Today the bikes wheelie easy but as I said, i no longer do stunts; only in the 80s and 90s; an old timer now. Great stuff you have and with the power of intellect. I also see you can control the clutch with only one finger; a big advantage.

When you reach the balance point do you hold the same acceleration or do you decelerate and then re-celery? And are you breaking at balance point Softly or just riding it?

Your first tutorial ❤ 🇦🇺

great content and you're a good teacher ! hopefully I'm be 12 o clock soon yahuruurd

I can’t even wheelie a bmx, let alone my road bike, and you do it with one hand 🖐

I’ve been practicing wheelies for a while and I’m getting closer and closer to balance point but I’ve heard some people say squeeze your legs against your tank and others say not to, i have been squeezing them and it seems to help me but I don’t wanna make bad habits

best video i have come across helped me alot.

THAT ENDING CLIP THOOOOOO! BRO UR THE MAN! OKAY NOW TO DO THAT ITS WORTH CRASHING ..LOL

What exactly do you mean by drop the clutch on when you’re wheelieing?

Is it beneficial to learn to wheelie on a dirt bike first? Like if I drop a dirt bike and land in soft mud, then get the hang of it, will it translate to a street bike? I'm guessing yes right?

Awesome video!

You make it look so easy

What's your take on being nervous about falling back or going to far back as well as leaning forward naturally when getting up??

Are you using the rear brake the whole time? Or just to bring it down?

Love ur vids brother

I'm sure same basic concept but will you do on how to wheelie on a Honda grom or Kawasaki z125? Great video brother keep it up and thank you for the videos!

Nice vid. Can you please say something more (or maybe record tutorial) about rear brake control? I mean when do you exactly start to using it? When you hit the balance point instantly or maybe slowly as you rise? You use both gas and brake control at the same time?

I’ve had a hard time getting to balance I think it could be natural fear. Hey man I seem to get it up pretty high. If you willing to look at my channel maybe you could tell by eye how much further or how close you think I’m am. (Cheers) I cant wait to watch more of your vids, just found your channel. ✌🏻

I really enjoyed thanks alot brou💙

Thanks this was a good explanation 👍

Reupload? 😂❤️ and btw last video you had no wrap anymore iT was hole black and now you have a wrap wth we Gonny do you work so hard for that bike 😂❤️💕😂

Wait a min, I am confused about the two hand brakes. Break that down for me, Bro

Nice video bro. My question to you is how do you keep from twisting to much on the throttle when u get the bike up?

Another awesome video, thanks again

Deja vu ...you foregot to tell them to stock up on bandages.oh and pride cuz its gonna get hurt.✌✌!!

So ur ex military? What branch u serve in? Really just want to say thanks for ur service an keep up the videos I be been watching ur vids to help me with my wheelies an ive came long way since I started watching

whats up man im in Chicago too! thats a sick spot!!! kinda nervous about hurting my bike but i know im gonna want to start doing wheelies when spring rolls around

3:03 - It me currently. Workin on it, but afraid to drop bike. Need crash cage. But... baby steps. Appreciate your videos. :)

Do you still have the pocket bike

Hey Brian, I know you always respond so I have a couple questions, I’ve been very slowly practicing my wheelies on my new F4i, it’s not stunted out yet just has a cash cage so I’m not rushing to Fuck it up lol, subcage is in order. But the very few wheelies I’ve done from dumping the clutch the bike seems to like throw me back almost and a lot of the Time my foot comes off the brake, is that just because the stock sprocket? Will a bigger sprocket make the transition into 1 wheel less of a launch, I can do power wheelies off like a stop light and I’ve almost hit balance point on those but the Rpms are way to high and speed is almost at 50 so I stopped doing that. And when I start my clutch ups I’m usually at like 15-20 mph and rev it to like 7-8k to get it up, I assume it takes so much because of the sprocket right? Any tips for me to keep my foot on the brake. I thought maybe I wasn’t squeezing the bike enough with my legs but idk. anything is appreciated thank Homie!!!

Brian 636 your a bad ass on the bike. Just had my first accident

Professor Brian Stuntlife 🏍🔥🔥🔥

i never really tried to wheelie a motorcycle i always borrowed dirt bikes when younger and just rode them fast and didnt want to mess up the homies bike. then i got a grom and i use it as my daily so i dont really want to mess it up since i use it everyday. but ya every once in awhile ill just juice it and pop it to kind of take off fast and do a small wheelie on accident. but ya i want to learn.. eventually. the bad thing even though the grom is cheap they still try to rip you off on all the parts for it almost the same cost as a normal bike.. almost. so ya to stunt it out is kinda expensive.. i got mine used on craigslist for 1700 though so i think i got a ok deal. its fun though for city riding. and in mornings i love being able to lane split the smallest of gaps with all the damn soccer moms trying give their kids a ride 3 blocks away from their house..but ya i want to learn to stunt on it but i would at least do some protection first.. what are the basics you should do to your bike before you start learning as a complete noob basically.

Hey i am form germany and if you are 18 here you only can ride bikes with 48 hp can i wheel it like a (big bike) or i have to wait for more power ? Sry for my english :)

Bro this guy is a legend

man, i finally able to wheelie. thanks broo

Mentioning sprocket tooth count can help.

1st gear are a lot easier to learn because it literally comes every time

Ate shit going 80 the other week, now Im nervous to clutch up at 5mph without a stabilizer lol. Very informative!

I recognize that place! Used to hang out there a lot. Almost never anybody up there.

I’ve been trying to get over the mental battle.. I feel like in a sit down I might loop, I’m on a fully set up 636, any tips? It’s to much in 1st gear, so I’m trying it in Third.

I have a Hayabusa and just don't want to get surprised when it does come up... How the hell do you put it down without smashing it on the pavement???? Hummm....

Yaaass! Glad this video is back! My favorite for sure.

Great video mate! I would like you to explain a little better the way you must press the clutch and use the gas.

How to do rolling stopie next plzz

Since this is so popular, can u take a newbie and train him to do a wheelie, on video for us to see? I feel like we'd learn a lot better seeing u school a newbie. A lot of his problems will be our problems too

Great tutorial. Greetings from Brasil!

Those handle bars look comfortable as heck I need those
