How could he pull in the clutch? The bike's dragging his ass across the lot.

The truth of the matter is that stunting, like racing is expensive. Little faux pas like these are every day shiite, when you're prepared, which is never the case on the street or in a parking lot.

KZCSI

isnt that how most wheelies are done,completely by accident? :woohoo:

all 3 of mine were accidental, and I sure as hell didn't look cool

You got it! I found out the hard way that kz1000's have a tad more torque than 550's.

I did that recently on my buddies ZRX. Basically gave it the same throttle that I would normally give my 750. When the front wheel was 2 feet off the ground I just about lost it but let of the throttle in time. A few friends were behind us in a car and I am sure I did not look cool!!

Like people have been saying, unless you have the experience to the point that the mechanics of riding come naturally and you're ready to spend some money, don't do it. That being said, if you really want a wheelie there are a few useful tips depending on what kind of bike you're on. When going for the lift, let off the throttle more or less completely so the weight of the bike shifts forward and preloads the front end. Then as it begins to pop back up, roll on the throttle (obviously depending on what bike you're on you're going to want to alter the amount of throttle you give it). Easiest and most controllable gear to do a slowish wheelie in is second but it depends on the bike and the rider. Oh, and make sure you keep your foot on the back brake so you can control your loft and kill it if you need to, the first couple of times its natural to drop your feet off the pegs (if only in shock ).

As far as burnouts go, I haven't done many stationary burns on high power bikes and as you've seen, they can go wrong easy. Rolling burns are fun and look pretty cool (until you dump the bike) but its very easy for them to get very squirrelly. Don't do 'em on cold tires and the easiest surface to do it on is tarmac with a scattering of gravel on it. Just take off slow and crank on the throttle and the tire'll break loose.

Good luck!

Its Dec, and i just had to get in 1 more ride before i tare my bike apart again.
