I've been looking for some videos or guides on wheelies for these bikes. I don't have enough experience to randomly play around to figure it out safely even though I'd be on a private course. What speeds/revs do you guys do them on?

Hey,

Here is a video that helped me a bit, check it out.

I've done accidental half wheelies before and it scared me away from trying them on tarmac.

I suck at wheelies but you can power wheelie in first gear at around 6000 or 7000 rpm, just let go of throttle let the rpm go down a little bit then immediately give it like >60% throttle the front will leave the ground, cover your rear brake.

if 60% is not enough then add a little bit more the front should lift pretty easily

when you can get the front up to the same height consistently, add a little more throttle

try to land it gently using throttle and rear brake so you don't blow your fork seal

The trick is to start with smaller bikes. I have seen it done from two ends of the spectrum, a friend that did his first wheelie on a GSXR1000 and a friend that started on a Grom that now owns a Ducati 899... can you guess who doesn't have any injuries?
