A good how to wheelie video
October 4th, 2006 31 Comments » | View blog reactions
Here’s an actual usable video teaching you how to do wheelies, for those not into biker slang, that means driving while only your rear tyre touch the road. In contradiction to other “how to” videos where some dude scoots around wearing no helmet and only a t-shirt, while his buddies yells “scrape something”, this one really starts you off from the beginning and take you further one step at the time. So go on, watch it then, have fun, and go trash your Hayabusa on a parking lot afterwards.
This video was amazing! Where can i find more like this. Where can i find more videos by Superbike Mag?
Thanks for this post!
Well, Ben you can keep watching this site. I’m always sniffin around for stuff like that.
But youtube and google video etc. is pretty good as well. But it’s a bit of a mess.
Lots of good vids on this site.
Thanks, I enjoyed that instruction. I had prevously figured wheelies out to a degree. Mostly on a dirt-bike. Now I want a Honda 599, or a triumph triple speed to practice on. MY Pacific coast would not be good for this.
I’ve seen a few stunt riders on speed triples, but it might be a bit much to begin with. You’ll have no problem doing power wheelies though.
I am not good at wheelies, nor do I want to try. My 919 wants to though.

Great Video! Are there any videos out there that provide advice / instruction for Supermoto i.e. “backing it in” / sliding turns, braking, wheelies, stoppies?
Thanks in advance!

I’ll poke around a bit, Todd, and see what I can find.
what kind of bike is he riding at the end?
Looks like an older Fireblade on the track and a Kawa Ninja of some sort on the parking lot.
That was a ZX6R he had at the end.
I have a 599 but can’t seem to do a wheelie. Maybe I’m just not going about it correctly. Hmmm….will have to try something else.
your vidieo did help a lot i just wanted to know if it is different clutchin a bigger bike like a zx9,do i clutch that like you were clutchen the 636
im scared that with this being a bigger bike i dont wana flip. if you could right me back
I didn’t make the video, Bill, sorry. As there’s some personal safety involved (crashed bike counts as personal injury), I will not take a guess at your question. My wheelie experience i simply to poor.
WOW, I LIKE THE VIDEO ALOT ON THE INSTRUCTIONS, I WILL KEEP TRYING ON MY HAYABUSA.
I WILL KEEP TRYING ON MY 05 BUSA
THANKS
IS IT JUST AS EASY AS WITH MY 05 BUSA??
THANKS
i really appreciate the video , it was excellently made for us novices.
thanx a ton
I’d prefer reading in my native language, because my knowledge of your languange is no so well. But it was interesting! Look for some my links:
Brother that was a good instructional video. I have been practicing as we speak thank you very much. God bless
i followed all instruction and my front wheel came up easy really nice vid… now can you link a good stopie vid plz 🙂 thx By the way the first bike was a zx6r 2004 and the second one was a zx10 2004 i guess he needed a biger one for higher speed

Power wheelies are possible on the 599. You have to hit the right RPMs though. If you roll off at around 8k in first and slam on the throttle you’re kissing the sky. Make sure you foot is on the brake though, scary stuff.
hey im scared just sitting here
Well guys, i had 2 brandies,waited a while then had the courage to try to wheelie,the scary part was that everyone that can wheelie will tell you to WHACK the throttle,i had gotten frustrated and scared in the past,thinking if i WHACK too much the bike will flip on pullaway.
Thank god it worked to a point and now i can power wheelie, im still scared but at least it`s a start.
Cheers
Coooooool!!! Thanks – definitely going to give it a try 🙂
I am using a 97.2cc corburator version bike in india could you tell me on how to use it to do stunts like above. The bike name is hero honda passion pro.
I use a 97.2cc corborator type bike, its hero honda passion pro in INDIA, could you tell me how to do a wheelie on that ??
It may sound funny but I am serious about biking and no one is here to teach …
Great blog ! Thank for sharing
Thanks for sharing, I really appreciate it
well, that was awsome i really enjoyed it but can u post another one but using a 2009 hayabusa cause its really scarry when i do step 1 using it.
1st gear-power wheelies on a Hayabusa, or anything else larger than 900cc’s isn’t going to end well…
Correct!! 1st gear power wheelie on a Busa won’t end well!! 2nd gear is the best gear position for that and clutch pop in 2nd or 3rd I find is best! Careful though…I’ve seen bad things happen on Busas in inexperienced hands! Ride safe all!
