So, out of curiosity, I was learning and then a crash happened. Lessons learned: Do not hit it with the clutch when there's some sand in the soil. It lost traction and started to tilt to the left until I was on the ground. Punched a hole in the crankshaft cover, leaking all the oil in the ground. I was injured, but I didn't break anything. I was doing 19km/h at the moment I hit it with the clutch. maybe 25 or 30 when I hit the ground. With full gear, my left arm got "burned" and with bruises. Turns out, the protection armor in the jacket, it cramped the skin as I was sliding and where the armor was absent (because it moved as I was sliding), I got the burn due to the friction of the tissue with the ground. Got some bruises also in the leg, but really not crazy, just like a small fall and It went away in a week. Now, I'm almost ok with the arm. I could still drive the bike with this injuries just to tell that it just fine. but the bike lost all the oil plus the hole in the crankshaft cover... TLDR: don't practice this when traction is not guaranteed ; Wear good protection gear (in all parts of the arms and legs); don't get to your bike with chenisium crash bars because they will break and harm your engine more than it can protect. Maybe, I will try it again but in a place where the floor hurts less :D
@@FarAndAway1 yup. Doing U turns and practice the balance in very slow movement it not the same as poping wheelies. I have been driving for a long time (CBR, Sk1rr, so overpowered bikes...) and never crashed. Learned the hard way. (I also own a T7 - the bike I crashed). One thing that is important: get a buddy to be with you. I got my wife (she was practicing U turns on hers) and she helped me out to get the car from home and drive me to the hospital just in case. :)
Hello, i just got a t700 last month and been practicing wheelies a bit (Completely new to wheelies btw) I found it more precise to do the clutch up technique rather than just opening full throttle to lift the front wheel I've seen videos of people doing it in second gear so it's more "smooth" but i don't really know, i can't really lift high on second gear personally What do you think ?
@@yetanothert7 my T7 is restrain to 47,5 HP cause I'm a new driver. I can't pull a big wheelie on second gear and I don't know if it's cause I don't accelerate much or cause of the lack of HP. What do you think ? Do you accelerate all the way before clutching up ?
