p.s. i will not be doing these wheelie's on the surface streets, i will take my bike to the dunes where the sand wont hurt as much. lol.

its easier to show than tell, but a wheelie is only popping the tires of the ground, so I would assume u want to do a catwalk, it is balance, and if u get the front up far enough without going over probably in 2nd or 3rd u can keep the front end up by just feathering the throttle, once u master this u can try shifting while in the catwalk, thus increasing the speed of the catwalk.

You have to sit as far back as possible (to begin with), give it a bit, lifting the front up, once up try and keep balanced (dont go too far up as to flip), start out slow then you can gradually get faster. (i'm a chick and thats how i do it with success). The dunes are great for practice. Also try riding on two wheels (same side) thats fun too.

Dump the clutch, while starting off, pull up slightly while giving it throttle. To keep it up balance it on the rear wheels by using your body and feathering the throttle. Very easy on a four wheeler as you have two rear wheels to ride on, not like a bike. Bike is same principle but side to side balance as well.

Rev the nuts off it and drop the clutch. Hold on. Use the rear brake to stop yourself flipping over. Glad to hear you won't be doing it on the street. Good luck, a flipped bike is very messy!

Both are good ways of doing this. balancing is easlier when you are a beginner, but shifting is the best to me, but you have to make sure that you do not get to a real high and come off the back of it.

I'll try to put this politely, but Papabeartex is right, you are just asking to get yourself seriously hurt or killed. Doing wheelies on a motorcycle does not lie in the realm of "cool and dangerous," it lies in the realm of "idiotic and dangerous."
There are far easier and safer ways to have fun. Please stop gambling with you life.
