Great tutorial 👍 As someone who is learning wheelies on a litre bike myself, a tip that’s been game changing for me is getting on the rear break right out the gate and using the break to modulate how quick the front can rise. This is only to be used in the progression stage till you get used to finding balance point and should eventually use it less to the point where you only need rear break to catch yourself or maintain the wheelie over a distance. Basically you pop your clutch up or power wheelie as normal and as soon as the front lifts, maintain the initiating throttle position and feather the rear break. Not only are you instilling rear break muscle memory from the start you are also learning your own bikes rear break sensitivity. This is contrary to the thought of popping it up and then using the rear break at or near balance point because while learning the chances of your brain deciding to hit the break is probably not going to happen in a panic. And no you won’t get break fade because while you aren’t able to do mile long balance point wheelies you won’t have the time to cook them hence using the rear less as you progress. Hope this helps someone else out there.
@@thecarpfather5757 going really well thanks. Catching it nice and high now and chasing them out quite a bit but I have a ways to go before I’m stretching them out down the road as long as I want 👍
great vid man, turned AWC off on my RSV4 1100 just to see how it would feel a couple days ago, now watching this vid everything you said about sketch and slipping just a touch could be bad i felt deeply. tried power ups in 1st and 2nd the wheel came to 12 oclock so quick i almost shit myself, and i used to be able to clutch up my MT09 no problem lol. definitely need to go practice somewhere safe before i try again
I agree with you. Especially with 1000 cc bike if you ever not tried clutch up its too risky. For me learning power wheelie and get used to how to react is much more easier than clutch up wheelie..
also for anyone watching that is new to this, do NOT practice your power ups with electronic settings on then try to give the same amount of throttle with those settings off, you will have a bad day LOL

How's it going
You defintly are right not hitting the break when you lose control happened to me a month ago and looped my bike literally

Find someone who loves you as much as Aprilia riders love their bikes’ sound
🏍️ 💨 🎶 🎵
You are amazing thank you brother
He's baaack 😎
Power wheelies are easier than clutch ones,it is like the power slide vs handbrake on a car...

@@Inc2107 yup,I went from a 650 to a 800 2cyl and the torque is insane,very easy to do a wheelie compared to the 650
hell yeah dude
Wheelies comes naturally when you have learned to control your bikes power band.
