This has been my biggest problem as of late. As soon as I hit that balance point, it just wants to take me on an 8 second bull ride. Not many videos about this problem. Super happy you took the time to throw some tips out there. I’ll give them a go.
i like your theory on the chain and wobbles, maybe for those fast bois who chase em out it helps em feel more stable because the chain it tight (consistant tension) the whole time
Was messing with cluch ups yesterday! I have a 22 r7 also. Couldnt get it to pop up. But im able to easier with a power wheelie. Would chain tention have things to do with it? 🤔 All attempts in 2nd gear going about 10-15. Differnt rpms. Thnx for the help!
Try going like 30-40 before you pop it up in second, once you get timing down on clutch ups they are way more predictable and you can get used to getting higher and higher slowly, im just starting to hit bp, but took me a min to get the timing of the clutch up but now i dont see why it took me so long its so simple. squeeze in clutch, rev up and dump clutch at same time, all in one fast motion, i can pop it up fast or slow now just working on bp so i can slow my wheelies down
Sounds like I'm about the same place in learning wheelies as @halfassed. I wasn't taking "dump the clutch" literally from the beginning and that made wheelies tough at first. Pull the clutch in and slip your finger off so the lever slams forward. Around 5k rpm and 15mph the tire should come right up. Just make sure you don't let off the throttle at all, and that you aren't dragging brake when you have it covered.
10-15 in 2nd on a stock bike is a bit low. Gotta give it more gas and hold it for longer. When I go to clutch up my F4i in 2nd, I'm between 50-70kph or 31-43mph. Obviously there's a difference between an i4 bike and the R7, but I think your bike still bogs a bit when you go to clutch it up in 2nd gear at 10 mph.
I have a 23 R7. You’re going too slow for second gear wheelies. For clutch ups, I’ve found that 17-21 ish mph is perfect for first gear, and 30-34mph is perfect for second. First gear has a lot of torque though, so it’s easier to lift up the front in first but also easier to go too far back and loop. Second gear is perfect once you get it down Edit: for the R7 in second gear, get up to about 32 mph and 3.5-6k rpm. Very quickly you’ll want to pull in the clutch, rev it even more, and dump the clutch as quick as you can. If you’re not used to the feeling of going back, then try at lower rpm when dumping the clutch and slowly work your way up until you find what works. Always keep your foot over the rear brake so you can hit it as soon as you feel uncomfortable and want to go back down. I would also recommend disabling the R7’s ABS if you can, it’ll be easier to put the front back down quickly if you do
Chain tension wouldn’t really have an effect on that unless the chain is just so loose that it skips teeth on the sprocket when you dump the clutch. Other than that chain tension can have an effect on the responsive feel of the wheelie but it wouldn’t keep you from popping up.
@@jar7d damn bro that's insane I have a 54 on my r7 it's kinda choppy when I get closer to balance point I thought it was the sprocket size but I guess I just need more practice lol
@@SMOKYY_DA_BEAR92 bikes will be as smooth or choppy as you make them lol. With a 54 you can probably clutch up in 3rd and 4th so if you’re too choppy maybe try higher gears
I got a tip from my mate for controlling wobbling and also drifting which helped me a lot. This is aimed more at beginners, and sit down wheelies. Keep your arms straight, and your body weight as centered as possible while in the wheelie. This helped me control the wobble a lot more, and also helped me with not drifting as much! Also, Could we please get a knee-knocker tutorial? Or even a combined video with a knee-knocker and a sit-down to knee-knocker combo all in one video. Please bro. Im tryna learn em but none of my friends can do them and its SCARYYYY!!!!

Hopefully it helps! And If you find anything that seems to help that I didn’t mention I’d be interested to know!

You texas lads are built different! I love your work bro
Thanks for the tips brah I think for me it’s definitely throttle control and body positioning
The wobbling is im biggest issue on a streetbike.. i actually do the first thing you said! Im gonna go to the lot tomorrow and try it
what kind of slip-on exhaust or exhaust system is on this bike? Sounds really nice!
Just a random eBay one

Good video bro🤙
What size sprockets do you have
Fz09 was stock, R7 has a 52 but I wheelied it stock for a long time too
