Motorcycle Riding School/ How to do a wheelie 2

Earlier we discussed a stationary drill to help you understand clutch control and get you on your way to doing a
wheelie. While teaching this in motorcycle riding school I have noticed that people have issues with timing. When to apply
throttle and when to use the clutch. You have to everything at the proper time to get the front wheel off the ground.
In no time after applying these drills to your motorcycle training you will be wheeling with no problems.

Now I want you to find an open area and ride around in first gear pull in the clutch not all the way to the grip but
just to where the bike stops moving. Do not hit the brakes. With the clutch in rev the bike a bit and now release the clutch and give
it throttle at the same time just like you did in the stationary position. The object is to try and get the front wheel off the
ground at least 4-6 inches and progress from there. Also a key tip for the fingers on the clutch, use only 1-2 fingers either just your
middle or pointer or both. this will allow you to still hold on to the motorcycle and strill operate the clutch at the same time.

Take your time and be sure to practice this sitting and standing so you can wheelie your bike in both positions. For more
