I would suggest NOT doing this very often, it can get you into trouble fast. Even when your frustrated still do slow increases so you can have the most control of what you are doing...less shitting your pants that way

Other than than, nice work, and have fun.

Its not easier to ride a wheelie, its easier to pick the front up with nothing but power. Then you go over the back or slam down because the throttle is 2X as sensitive.

And +1 to the clutch. When you power it up the first couple feet are really hard to get through, then it comes tearing up. The clutch will pop it through that tough spot and you will be golden.

Cover the damn brake.

huh? so clutch up is not as sensitive as power up but "cover the damn brake"? anyway?

reason i havent try the clutch is it is abusive and warn off the clutch a lot quicker. am i wrong?

Sounds to me like you need to work on your throttle control.

not really, you aren't gonna burn up your clutch doing wheelies here and there...also I think the 'cover your brake' thing is for any kind of wheelie you are doing.

i try to cover the brake regardless of how im wheelieing. as far as the clutch goes, wheelieing off the clutch is no more abusive than taking off fast from a stop.
