First things first before you even touch your clutch, you put your foot on the rear brake, and the first 10 times you pop the clutch, hit the rear brake, so it becomes an instinct to press the brake, if you feel like you are going too high, saved me from looping a number of times
Some good tips mate - noone wants to loop their bike
I have a problem with this. For some reason, my foot does not naturally cover the back brake. I must put extra effort to raise my foot over it.
Is it possible that my suspension needs adjusted?
Im 6ft4 and own a 2000 XR600R
So you directly hit the brakes after the wheelie ?
I have a 2016 ktm 690 and thanks to your tips I can wheelie for about 2-3 seconds! Prior to this I couldnt even get it up! Thanks!
good one tho :P
im waiting for the "Expert" one.. :) I need to go further back than 12oClock :P
Im waiting on Expert too ;) haha - in summer I will be practicing a lot more - looks like your doing well juding from your display pic! Ride hard , winston
haha update. I went over 12oclock. :) working on circles now.
wheelies are life! :D keep doing what u do bro! ;)
@@BLDH where do u practice.
This is one of the best videos to follow for a beginner. In the same day I moved from beginner to intermediate/advanced. Just picked up my new to me 2017 KTM 690 Enduro R last night. Want to master this part of wheeling so I can use wheel up techniques off road. Thanks for the video.
Most other videos do not explain the technique in an understandable way AT all. You make it look / sound easier! Thank you and well done!
Hi Jen, thats the main reason I made this video! Too many shitty videos with too much talking and not enough DOING! Glad you found it useful
How I learned to wheelie, start off by popping bike up and hitting back brake do that about 20-30 times or more, balance point starts as your forks straighten with the road so if you have good back brake control you can always monitor your front forks and this will give you confidence to pull back more also ease into the drop back don't be snappy on throttle very smooth on 4 strokes you can allow the engine braking to bring you down back brake isn't as important but u must have it as instinct because engine braking will only do so much. On the DRZ400 you practice in 2nd gear around 30-35 kmh don't practice wheelies in first gear maybe to pop up but its actually the most dangerous the torque is way more forgiving in 2nd. Lots of seat time, throttle control and you'll have it.
Well, i think your Tutorial is one of the best in the net. You explain very good. It helped me a lot. Greetings from Germany
i love wheelies. Thx for the detailed guide!
Thats the way!
Best tutorial on YT!
Helped a lot
As a “lady” who says Fuck a lot, let me just say how much I appreciate this a video! All the fucks make me smile.
Great video man! Cant wait for more! As far as i know you are the only "motovlogger" riding a 690 sm thats sick man! Keep it up! Greeting from Sweden!
+Karl Andersson Thanks for the feedback bro! Shit man Sweden? Your a long way from NZ! Love watching the Swedish and German vids, would love to ride some of those amazing roads over there!
You did great, dont listen to the haters. More 690 videos!!
Cheers man! More videos on the way mate, it's winter in NZ so not as much riding but new vids coming soon :)
winter in new zealand isnt that 20 degrees in the shaddow?
Subbed! from Melbourne
Good shit my man You're the only motorvlogger i have besides like RJ, AJ, Riding with Tom and Ariderslife
Very keen to see where you take this channel! :)
Melbouuuuuurrrneee sicko mate! Had some later nights there.... Cheers mate it's gunna get a lot more awesome
This video deserves more views, very good video easy to understand
Thanks man! A lot of videos I've watched were WAY TOO LONG and too much shit talking and not enough wheelie action/clear instruction. Hoped this helped you and let me know how youg et on with your practicing!
Recently saw someone's video where they mentioned using the front break as a way to compress the front suspension. Then immediately after letting off the front break clutch and gas.. Works like a charm. wish I learned about this earlier. I don't like pulling back on the bars so much so I went straight to stand up wheelies so I could compress just by pumping my legs.
Nice one mate. I am still learning standups so will give this a try - WW
Thx. Great vid and will give it a go when I can find a nice quiet road. I've got a 690R with wings exhaust but I really like the sound of your exhaust compared to mine. I've got large dbkiller in. Have you taken the dbkiller out or made any other mod?
Hey mate - no DB killer in this one it might sound different when you not actually on the bike! I have taken the killer out and it is SOOO LOUD! Give it a try one time ;)
Can we whellie on heavy bikes or we need light bike and an bike with tire grips.
What a fantastic video, only one thing i wanted to see was a clear view of throttle with clutch drop but it is hard to get that.... keep up the great work buddy
whenver I try to wheelie on 2nd gear it feels my bike is Choking. Is it normal? or I should giver more gas. It's lifting but not too high.
Hey 👋 after you pop it in second and are riding a wheelie can I shift to 3rd without the clutch that’s what I’ve been doing
Hi mate, nice video! I have a big problem covering the rear brake with my foot. looks like the pedal is to high and i am struggling to keep my foot on it. have you adjusted your rear brake pedal before doing wheelies?
Hey man, I had the same thing on my drz400. To answer your question - No :) I had the same problem, and while it might feel awkward at first I had to get used to it - and over time you WILL get used to it and it will feel natural. Your foot will have to arch upwards a little bit all the time and might even press on the brake a bit but not enough to push it down. If you sit further back in your seat your foot will not cover the brake as much and it will feel more comfortable. Try that as a short term fix till you get used to the feeling. You can also adjust the brake lever by screwing out the nut by the brake footpeg - there should be tutorials online but I will make a vid soon showing you how to do it :)
Hi Winston great vid.
You make awesome weelie's buddy!! Subcribed!!
Thanks! MOre wheelies on the way ;)
So I literally learned to wheelie about 3 weeks ago (on a 350excf). And within the first week I was already fender scraping...The way I taught my self how to wheelie was; 1st gear..bring it up real high..hit the breaks..(repeat until hitting the break feels natural)..then start learning balance point..after you have an idea for the balance point, you can start going past it (to fender scrape)... It was VERY easy to learn. I did it on some nice grippy dirt so there would be optimal traction and if I ever fell of the bike, it wouldn't get all scratched up.
Awesome bro sounds like your making great progress. Unfortunately some of us (like me!) take a bit longer to learn to wheelie, as our balls aren't as big ;) Also it can be a bit more intimidating when you don't want to drop your flash bike on the concrete!
+WinstonWheelington Hahaha I know what you mean man. I've been riding for about 5yrs now and when I got my new flash bike I just decided it was time to learn some new skills lol. I stick to the dirt because it is a lot more forgiving when you fall, but I do want to buy some supermoto wheels at some point(: but hey great vid man, I subbed and will be looking forward to more content!!
did ya paint the frame under the tank black? looks good and is it much effort to do?
Hey mate it came black :)
very nice Video bro :) ive learn so much :)
Thanks for the how to bro, awesome stuff. Just got the 19 ktm smc r and have been practicing clutching up in 1st gear and making a point to use the back brake. Trying to clutch up in 2nd but 30/35 mph has me spooked a bit. Any further advice? Thanks again
More clutch, less throttle :) it will pop up faster but will be less scary after awhile!!
Im sweting just from watching them with these suits a this sun
Nice Video! Good Tutorial helped me alot!
+GiznarGaming Glad I could help dude and you learnt something! Now you can show all your mates how to wheelie too! :) You should upload a pic if you wheeling to my facebook page!
great video! I really enjoy your style
thanks man! appreciate the feedback
Good tuto can't to watch your next vidéos, i just subscribed :D
Thanks for your sub man! Next video will be about my mini stunt bike ;)
"How to powerwheelie" ;)
Not everyone picks it up straight away ;) Nice vids man
Not really a powerwheelie considering he is using the clutch to get it up. Still chasing the wheelie like crazy. I would expect someone with "Wheeli" their name, to be really comfortable at balance point and beyond. Nice circles NTK
powerwheelie is ony gas whithout clutch dont say anything if u dont know
@@srj5735 i don't think they can wheelie at all, i hardly touch the clutch unless im in about 45-50mph and then il give it a bit more throttle and slip the clutch, that's my 690 and my r1 that's just on the back wheel when ever i want to. 🤔 people that can't wheelie trying to teach people how to wheelie 😟 they might aswell scrap there bike's in now.
Very good tutorial, i will be tryin this asap :D
Let me know how you go man !
Do you use original sproked??
Nice video... can´t wait to see more!! I just came back from NZ after a six month trip. I miss your beautiful country, but I´m glad to have my motorcycle again. Greetings from Germany!
Awesome bro where did you go in NZ? I would love to do a Europe trip on the KTM one day, maybe line up my time on Germany for Oktoberfest ;)
Yeah man, Oktoberfest is the best! I did a trip all around both islands and stopped a few times to work. And I spent much time in Otaki cause my aunt lives there :D
ooooooooooooo jelous, you have seen more of NZ than me!! Ah she lives in Otaki, sorry to hear that mate. . LOL just kidding
How do you avoid crashing when your front wheel comes down? I've seen a lot of videos where the front tire comes down straight like it's supposed to do, and then they start swirling from side to side really fast. What causes this and how do I prevent it when learning a wheelie?
ive only ever had that happen over 100kmph, anything under that seems fine, even iff ya crossed up a bit, even at over 100 when it did happen to me, you just go full throttle and flick the clutch and lean back, it takes enough weight off the front to correct itself, but gotta be ready for it, just make sure your wheel is straight as possible when you come down, a steering damper also helps a heap...
Solid tutorial mate. Subbed. :)
Thanks for the sub mate glad you enjoyed the video
Man u're just awesome :')
Thanks! I think I was just born that way
First ever video but very good video to be honest. Greetings from Switzerland !
+laebitsch Switzerland! Shout out to the European breathers battling the cold. Thanks for the feedback man I've got plenty of awesome stuff ON THE WAY!!
+WinstonWheelington can't wait !
+WinstonWheelington do you have any tutorials for a 2stroke? or is it the same principle
Same principle. I do exactly the same with my KTM 250 XC.
Stephen Marlow dude I have a yz85 I can't even get the wheele up with the clutch
U are awesome . love from Greece
Much love Akritaz greetings from NZ!
awsome chers bro
Nice work! - Thanks for sharing. :-D
Cheers bro glad you enjoyed!
Is your camera man on a DR650SE
This is the greatest video ever
I know right?
Thanks for this - cheers 👍☮🤘🤘🤘
All good purpleom1 - hope it helps you in your wheelie adventures ;)
Have you ever blown a clutch on your 690? How many break in miles did you do before starting to wheelie? I am on my third clutch and am currently breaking it in. :(
Hey bro.. never man.. you shouldn't be going through that many clutches I am not sure what you are doing. You should need no break in miles at all. Motorbike clutches are heavy duty and are designed to take punishment.. I suggest you go see your mechanic about a faulty bike
After trying for so long, failing to even pop the front wheel up, three little word came into my head "more fu*king gas" and hey ho. cheers WINSTON!!!!
Ahahhaha nice one bro thats awesome! Glad my words of wisdom were helpful ;)
I MUST SAY that a lot of people didn't like your video, honestly your balance point is not perfect but I wanna say thank you because I learned how to wheelie from your video, because I saw properly how to use clutch. i apprecciate your help and i am sure you are a way better in wheelies right now! make one more video now!!!
Hey thanks a lot man. I am not the best at wheelies and am a slow learner - so know the best ways to teach people and show them WHAT WORKS! Will keep the videos coming :)
thanks bro really helped me a lot
No worries man I'm glad the video was useful for you
does your 690 chug in 2nd below say 17-18mph? I have the evo 1 tune i think. But it chugs kinda bad at low rpm and is the opposite of what you think a big 690 would be like at low rpms.
Hey Ryan - cool plane! Mine does the same and I wouldn't worry about it. Since its a single that means that the ride is not as smooth as it's only igniting on one cyclinder. But, if you had a 4 cylinder for example, it would be a lot smoother in lower rpms, since it's igniting more often. Short answer: don't worry about it it's perfectly normal :)
Even if it's chugging , when you do the wheelie it will stop
WW first vid? I really enjoyed it very much... Nice simple demo . I suck at doing wheelies but am going to put your advice to work. Cheers mate ...subbed.
Waddup man - Yep very first vid! Glad you enjoyed and thought the demo was easy to understand. Good luck for your wheelies bro, cover the rear brake and give it the beans! Let me know how you go :)
+WinstonWheelington thanks heaps will give you the news ...ha ha cheers Winston
Hey I'm new to a 701 husky and was trying to wheelie the other day, how many fingers u using to pull clutch, cause using most of them seems sketchy like you'll go off the back? Great video BTW
Hey man I'm using 4 - but a good habit to start with is only use two. That way you can keep some of your fingers on the bars as well. I just learnt wrong at the start!
@@WinstonWheelington awesome thanks for the response excited to go back out and have a go, great video keep it up
@@willsanctuary6626 all good brother please subscribe if you haven't already!
best part of your video was that you played suicide silence in it. and you had a pretty good video. 👍
haha more metal in videos to come :) Thanks for your comment man
SUICIDE SILENCE. Nice choice bro.
But I must say, ya gotta really beat into someone to control that rear brake. On my GSXR1000 - The power wheelies in first are cool and all, but I'll be at 167km/h doing a power wheelie.
In second I can do wheelies around 90km/h with the clutch and I find balance point a lot easier with the feathering of the throttle. Still learning how to control the rear brake but I must say it's definitely a useful tool to bring it back down. Much nicer than dumping the throttle and throwing the rear out!
Cool video bro, I'll be tuning in for more!
Haha cheers mate - who doesn't live a bit of screamo?
love the deathcore opening
More deathcore on the way bro hahaha
nice bike and nice helmet combo ;P
+lenard ggor ;) Wait till you see my other helmet..
Nice video bro, but im wondering. Next year i will turn 16 and can take the license for 125cc, but im not sure if i should buy a supermotard or a racing-bike, i would appriciate your answer:)
Hey man - agree with motard cat. You will be VERY bored on a 125 sports bike - but a 125 motard will be AWESOME! I actually bought a mini motard to have fun on and never looked back :) Enjoy mate
What a great video wow wow i will suscribe spread your videos. Please keep em coming. DRZRIDER. my pops has a ktm 690 enduro r
Hey bro! Thanks for the feedback and feel free to spread em round. Awesome bro does he enjoy it? 690 could be the best bike ive ever ridden ;)
He loves it to death. I seen so many how to wheelie videos and finally did one the night after watching this video. Leaving my job's parking lot AND MY HOT COWORKER SAW THANKS WINSTON LMAO
LOL! Nothing makes you pick up your balls like a hot girl watching you do something eh bro? Hope you got laid.. ask her if she wants to go for a ride sometime ;)
What exhaust protector do you have on the wings?
Just cheap tubing you get from a hardware store! Just make sure its heatproof
His suit doesn't inspire a lot of confidence, but i kinda trust him. Seems legit.
If you tap the rear brake, do you pull the clutch at the same time? Is it bad for the motor if you dont?
its not bad for the engine
Hey mate, not at all! Your bike will be sweet as
Ok thanks for the information :)
👊👌🤘
POST MORE VIDEOS! I want to see how you have progressed
Hey man! Yeah the weathers been crap in NZ and I have been busy with other things. I've had some technical issues with my cameras AND my bikes. So once everything back to normal I'll be putting a lot more out. Summer is about to start so I need to make sure eveything is ready to go before then ;)
hay man
hows it goin
do u still ride motards
iv a husqvarna sms630 love riding getting board of ridding on my own would u be keen to catch up for a ride im local
Sup bro! Yeah I still ride cuz. Ill flick you a message next time I'm heading out? Always keen for more motards :)
What helped me was putting my left food back on the passenger peg if you have one, it helps you know how high you really are.
Sorry, i herd the metal & subbed😈
Well just for The music a like
Oh suicide silence i instant rate video 10/10
nice video, subscribed
Thanks for your sub dude - I raced a Kawasaki er6n at my last track day and those bikes are fucking fast! More vids soon :D
Hi there, I hears rumors that the 690 engine might cease due to oil starvation from extended wheelies, is this true? My best wheelie on the enduro r is about 100m
2 oil pumps , 4 filters , they may be ok
sweet as bro
Chur
Next time if you can put subtitle pls, because for french people it's not easy to understand all of what you say, but really good video it help me so much thank's and sorry for my english
Hey man I'm glad it helped you out! No worries at all bro it's pretty good, I will work to chuck in some subtitles for next time
Nice video. Whats the song @ 6:15?
Clutch to get it up? My old WR450 and now KTM 500 bike do not any need viagra to get it up lol, they do power wheelies...
Using the clutch to get it up feels way to scary and risky of looping to me... Think I will try using the method other reccomend of keeping one foot at rear break and practice breaking down the wheelies to work up muscle memory first before using clutch to get it down again fast if it gets to high.
Sounds good bro. Clutch wheelies are safer though as you don't need to give it as much gas, reducing the risk you could flip the bike. Definitely practice the foot brake though!!
Can you do that shifting on a two stroke to?
Yeah bro same idea!
well done mate!!
Thanks!
im on a ktm 640 smc myself
Nice man
+imafuckingjarl Chur, cruisers can wheelie too
+WinstonWheelington that light 250 in the pic is long gone. and not sure if I want to try it on my sporty just yet haha
same principle on a 950? SM-R 😁...I can do 80 in second without trying...so like maybe in 3rd gear??
did you pop the fork seals?
Nope they totally sweet! Its got big suspension - its built for it
When this guy swears it’s so funny to me
do you need to blip off the gas when shifting without clutch to 3rd gear?
Yep that's exactly right. Only for a split second then gas back on
@@WinstonWheelington thanks mate but. where are your new motovlogs :/
@@JinKazama92 Shiiiiet life has got in the way man haha. I think when summer starts back up ill get back into it but for now I don't even have a bike :(
@@WinstonWheelington wheres the smc???? :(
subbed i have an ktm 690 endur r 2016 and have been trying litle power wheelies in 1st gear but i feel they are to inconsistent but im scared to try 2nd gear cuz i need to be in 40-50 k to be able to have the power to power wheelie maby gonna man up and try clutch up. i just feel they are so fast and explosive and comes up so fast i am just scared to 12 clock it and crasch risk ripping up the fueltank like the poor guy on youtube. but i guess i just need to find the baals to do it so i get used to the jolt of the front wheel comming up.
Cheers from Norway
well aparently the cops didnt like that i was on an parkinglot way out in the bush and practiced i got told off and got an verbal warning sigh no more wheelies for me until i find another good spot i guess XD (next time they catch me doing weelies they might take my license)
Oh ok that sucks bro .. definitely find a new spot! Bro I won't lie wheelies are scary, if they weren't everyone would know how to do them! Just make sure you start small and take baby steps and you'll get used to the feeling, it won't feel natural at all - your wheels are meant to stay on the ground!! If you're struggling take a friend for encouragement - it's a lot easier to learn them with someone else :) Remember to cover the rear brake and start getting used to it once you wheelies are getting really high - it's impossible to loop if you know how to use the rear brake properly :)
yeah, aparently there is a no tollerance on wheelies here had i been on a road that could been accesed by anyone they would have taken my license directly. got an verbal warning and told to find another place with fences around (lol) and i was only able to do power wheelies in 1st gear i felt more in controll and they came up smoothly. but i couldnt get my body to either release the clutch fast enough or i would chop of the gas or didnt dare to gas enough. so never was able to lift the wheel by clutchup. stupid bodyXD awell need to try to get in on the local rallycross track when they not train and knock myself out.
How high do you take the Rpm in 2nd gear till you drop the clutch??
I want to learn wheelies as well, but i am scared that i drop the clutch with to high rpms and i throw my bike away :-D
I don't want to do power wheelies, cause i think its better to control with the clutch
Hey man. I don't actually know because I don't look at the speedo. If you start small with your wheelies, then you wont flip. SLOWLY get higher and higher over time. When they start getting pretty high start covering the rear break and learning to use it to bring the front back down. Its impossible to flip your bike if you tap the rear break!! In second gear at about 30 kph clutch up at about 4-6k RPMs. If it doesnt wheelie go a bit higher in the RPM range. Good luck :)
WinstonWheelington its hard to cover the rear break cause its nearly in a line with the footrests but i will try it thx =)
Hey mate yeah I know it's hard, mine are like that too.. Try sitting further back in your seat or adjusting the brake if possible, there should be a nut somewhere you can loosen so it sags down a bit :)
at how many rpm are you releasing the clutch likt 4.5 or 5 ?
Hey dude. I never really looked but yeah probably about 4-5k. Try not to get too hung up staring at your rev gauge. Instead look in front of you before you pull the wheelie, and do whatever feels natural. Usually you just need more gas, keep going until you can get the front up!
okey thanks so i know where i should start :D
i dont understand the intermediate where he says clutch up to do a wheelie with no clutch. can someone explain
Hey man. You still use the clutch to wheelie the bike. What I was saying was - if you want to change gears in the middle of a wheelie, you don't need to pull the clutch in. You just push the lever up into the next gear without use of the clutch. If you are still confused watch my FAQ video which explains how to change gear mid wheelie in more detail. Cheers, Winston
Subbed!
Cheers mate!
I have a question. so on the 690 can you not wheelie in first gear at all?
You can but the bike is very agressiv and comes up really fast. When u do it in second gear the bike comes up much softer
+deni cudic I learn that the hard way thanks lol
Hey man! Yeah first gear easy, but deni is right, second gear is a lot smoother and less jerky. The wheelie will feel a little more smoother and be a bit less scary :)
awesome thanks guys
how much gas do you give for a 200 cc ? when I'm moving in 1st gear at about 10-15 kph
Hey bro I've got this question a few times so I'm putting out a video about it.. Check back in a couple of hours for my Wheelie frequently asked question video!!
Awesome 👍
From 2nd to 3rd You changing without clutch?
yes most of the video Ive watched.
What model year is this ktm 690 smc?
2009
Nice tut bro. My name is Winston too. XD
Your parents have good taste in names
Just like yours bro. hehe
Can you do wheelies on a 50ccm?
Rampii xxx depends on what kind of setup on what kind of 50cc bike you are riding
what did he mean with 3rd gear in intermediate? change gear without clutch?? how?
Hey man - for more explanation of the gear change check out my Frequently asked question video - th-cam.com/video/jSldniNmSeg/w-d-xo.html
Im on a 125cc yamaha xt 125 r i do almost 12 o clocks but im too dumb to shift into second so if i want to shift into secon gear i just shift without the clutch and before that i go back with the throttle?
Yo dude if your doing 12 oclocks your getting on better than me at this stage! If you want to shift from first to second do this. Do your wheelie in first gear, then before you want to change into second, tuck your foot underneath the gear lever and apply pressure upwards. Then all you need to do is really quickly throttle off while keep pressure on the gear lever, then quickly throttle back on - it will change from first to second when you quickly throttle of because of the pressure you apply to the gear lever. You can practice this just driving around before you try it in a wheelie ! Hope this helps
WinstonWheelington Thanks for the Reply man i will try it but like today after school i did a solid first gear wheelie from 5-30 km/h pulled the clutch shifted and almost crashed because the motorcycle was so unstable will it be the same when i shift with no clutch?
to be honest bro changing gear shouldn't throw you out too much, maybe you are over thinking it! Practice no-clutch shifting without doing a wheelie, but when you can do it comfortably, try it again but this time doing a small wheelie. Once you get the hang of it, try it at 12 oclock. Give it a go and let me know how you get on!
WinstonWheelington Gonna try it today or tomorrow will ride with my gopro then show you maybe it iwll work maybe i will crash again :P
Yeah bro take a video. Just remember to COVER THE REAR BRAKE! :)
I´m practicing wheelies since half a year now - everytime I ride out. (not real practice, just playing wile riding)
The from you called "Balancepoint" doesn´t even look Close to what I´ve seen on many other Videos.
Also the fact that your Buddy didn´t film it, is (at least to me) a confirmation of my thoughts.
Str33tfalcon make a better video then dude. Its still good for new people
tried to do a long wheelie and i luuped!!
man awesome tutorial! It really helped me getting started on the wheelies! Keep it up bro! Make sure you check my channel, i've just uploaded a one hand wheelie video! Congrats from PORTUGAL!
Upload more vids mate!
Theyre coming bro! Been having bike issues and camera issues... Getting it sorted at the moment
Sadly he didn't make anymore videos he seems like a fucking good commentator
Nice I know this spot.Alexander road
+brad bewley That's the one mate ;) might see you there sometime!
+WinstonWheelington yea man will do
