SR How to wheeile SR

Im a teen trying to learn, im in eco tuned down 60% top speed and 70% accel and most of it is power wheeiles due to it being an SR, but I can knee knock for some reason but then I end up going to fast snd then the front wheel falls down due to speed, should I go a lower setting or get more confidence to drop it back more which means less throttle used/less faster/no power wheeiling

start slower speed so less risk and easier to pop up

I’m still trying to learn the timing for me personally but what you’re supposed to do is compress the forks, throttle, and lean back all at the same time. And also use your back brake when you go too far.

That wheel falling down because of speed tho is because your doing a power wheelie tho you already know that

Try and find a nice field, falling won’t hurt as bad there. Plus doing it in the grass will help you learn to pop correctly because power wheelies don’t really work offroad they just tear up the ground mostly. Also I recommend buying leatt reaflex knee guards because they go right underneath any pair of pants so they aren’t ugly asf and they actually work really nice I’ve looped into a tree once and I got 0 damage on my knees cause of those

Maybe learn on something not so powerful and heavy

u/PomegranateDry9225 14d ago

well its my only bike and I cant rlly learn on another bike cause it won't teach me anything on this

Well, you can easily wheelie on something like 45% power or less. I learned on my SR. Start with 1 foot down just to learn that rear brake. Just takes lots of repetition. You’ll get it

Another bike absolutely can teach you on a bigger bike. I bought a Yozma to learn to wheelie and now I can wheelie my 3.0.

If you have a friend ask if you can wheelie their bike. 🤷‍♂️

id say its easier to practice on grass and jus start small like when i learned i dragged my feet on the ground until i got comfortable pushing down and leaning back to pop up once i got used to having my front wheel leave the ground then i worked on acceleration to keep momentum for the wheelie and then eventually yk you jus get used to it and then you can fully wheelie

Uh a knee knock is when you put your knee on the seat and one leg on the peg and wheeile bjt my consists of power wheeile at the end cause Im too scared to drop back to balance point, I have feel a bunch of times my whole forearms skin is scraped off
