Wheelies !

Chaps and ladies.

I want to learn to wheels my pointy, on my private road of course.

So how do you guys get your front wheel up, i am guessing you cant power wheely on the SV and some clutch action is needed.

Any tips and help would be great.

Many thanks!!!!

I wouldn't expect too many replies x

Yeah, don't do it on an sv

Since when did you two turn into mega bores?

Yes you can power it up unless you're a fat lump and have an underpowered bike, but it's hard to get the hang of.
Clutch it up as with any other bike, search for all the other threads on it for specifics.

The reason widey says don't do it on the sv is because you can starve the front engine cylinder of oil which'll seize your engine...so yes it isn't really advised. I can't see having it up for a few seconds at a small angle doing much...but I'm just regurgitating my girlfriend's words now..

You can power wheelie thje SV if you put your ar se to the back of the bak of the seat and pin it in first. Easiest way to clutch up is accelerate hard in second, **** at back of seat again, slip clutch at around 4.5k n keep the throttle open. However id suggest you experiment with hump back bridges and crests etc first. Get used to the feeling of the front going light, wheelieng needs confidence which comes with experience. make sure you are very used to the bikes power delivery and clutch. I wouldnt be trying it this time of year if its wet or too cold or youll be spinning up rather than lifting the front. If youve got a stupid friend however they could act as a great counterweight lol. Just pulling away hard with someone on the bak will get the front wheel up.

I'm not a mega bores, I just don't do it on my sv

I could never power lift the front wheel of my pointy, just wasn't powerful enough for someone of my weight.

Yet my drz400 will

I'm not fat either before mr numbers pipes in with an insult.

hmm didn't think about what I said there, may be "aslong as you're a runt like me" would've offended less of the websites community


Widey - well some of us don't have a BMW and multiple motorcycles....you've changed man...

I'm sure we've been here before.

I seem to recall that if you spend too much time on the rear wheel you'll starve the oil pump of oil and lunch the engine, so budget for that, plus chains & sprocket, best get a replacement clutch.

Maybe get a lower headrace bearing stored up when that gives up after frequent wheelies.

Oh and while you're making a shopping list, add some wheel bearing for the front wheel
