I'll be 57 in June 2020, My wheelies days are over on my 900 Ninja back in the day my girlfriend now my wife for 37 years used to be on the back we spent more time on the back tire standing her up, But to think back now we were truly blessed that nothing seriously happened to us because you never know in a blink of an eye either one of us might not be here today, but I would be lying if I didn't tell you we absolutely had a blast!!! Popping that bike up for blocks at a time. To each and everyone of you be safe practice practice practice!!!! If you decide you want to wheely them bed boys up, good luck and have fun
This is the most straight up bikelife hardcore comment ive ever seen. “we spent more time on the back tire standing her up” a quote I will always remember
Dirtbike wheelie..cool Sportsbike wheelie..also cool Naked bike wheelie.. cool Adventure bike wheelie.. cool But HARLEY wheelie is the most badass i've ever seen!!
Of all the "How to Wheelie" videos out there.. this one is the only one with Step by Step Thank you 1 Million and now I am out to buy Some Monster Energy for their support
I would be more scared of busting my old fat ass and destroying my bike. I know a guy that scraped his ass off because he went over backwards. But to the guys that can pull this off YOU ROCK.
I have crashed so many times over the years mastering the wheeling on my mountain bike. I can’t imagine having the balls to try this once, let alone practicing on a V-twin enough to master them. Then again that’s probably why I will never be this cool.
as a kid I wheelied bicycles for what seemed to be forever. Later I had a 76 honda CR125 that I could wheelie. Now Im 55 with a Roadking. I think there's a time where you have to say "I'm ok with not doing wheelies on the roadking" you know what Im sayin? Like I don't think Id be loosin any sleep over not wheelin the bagger rite? I also have an 84 XR200R... its tempting but we don't heal as fast at 55 :D
used to have a Road King I pop wheelies on it all the time re-welded up the swingarm at least half a dozen times it's all fun until you do some effortless acrobatics when you're up in the air and you run out of gas LOL
I'm 56 yrs old, and can ride my older 86 shadow 1100 good, but that looks tough! I've done a little drift spinning and a little drift skidding and it surprised me how crazy it can get without wiping out. or h ow good it really handles in a pinch. But if I ever get the balls to TRY to pull wheelies like the author, it will be with heavy leather and helmet.....and maybe a lighter bike. Like a dirt bike
Hi son, could you tell me or indeed demonstrate how to pull the perfect wheelie on a VTR 1000 F FIRESTORM/SUPERHAWK, please, Thank you:) Your help and knowledge would be much appreciated. Thank you :)
V twins tend to have way more torque than inline fours so I don't understand what he's talking about with pulling up on the handlebars. I've never even tried to pull up on the handlebars even when riding an inline four with good torque. Like he says, they're heavy and the engine does all the heavy lifting. Pulling up is pointless. Before popping the front end up that high, it's way easier to learn how to pop the front end up just a few feet while you're moving 20 to 30 mph. It's not as dangerous, and you gain a lot more confidence setting the front end back down on the pavement. It's incredibly easy to get that front end up beyond 12 o-clock even with your foot on the brake, it's oops-too-late. Most Japanese bikes have an adjustable preload on the front forks so you can tighten them up which significantly reduces the possibility of speed wobbles when you set the front end back down. Even a slight speed wobble on a HD is a disaster.
i wouldn't think so. it would depend on your oil pressure. it's a dry-sump and i don't imagine you could wheelie long enough to do any actual damage anyway.
Brigman alright, so I cant compare the Harley vtwin with my suzuki sv 650 engine...because my engine doesnt have a drysump, so when I pull a weely the oil doesnt reach the front cilinder. Very cool do to wheely a Harley.....
From what I understand, a lot of the guys put in a short extension in the oil pan, a little hollow tube that helps prevent this issue. My not being a mechanic is my excuse for the lack of technical terms, I just remember seeing a picture of this fix from some of the guys that do stunt riding on their Dynas.
This video was not very informative. It would’ve been beneficial for a lot of people if you would’ve touched on the fact that mid controls really help. As well as taller suspension. But whatever I suppose you don’t need those things but they really do enhance your ability to do a wheelie.
Had to re watch to verify. He showed a camera angle of him manipulating the rear brake but I doubt that it would be understood by someone who wasn't looking for it already. "To remain at the balance point, it's all throttle control.... You always want to cover the back brake. If the bikes going to far back, you gotta hit that back brake to bring it back down." Somewhere near the 1:50 mark.
This is by far one of the best "How To Wheelie" videos ever.

Ramonvdt true
Real talk bro, those are the top dogs!!
This vid was so helpful. So a few broken bones and bout 10 racks in repairs and I should have it down. Kinda.

That opening shot of him sliding through the corner was the coolest part. Also - that bike is PURDY!

Great tips! Such as 'get in the right position' and 'dump the clutch at the perfect time'
I'm runnin' Shinko tires, Hooks up no matter the tire pressure . Good tips for beginners, Thumbs up
why i watch this? i cant even do a wheelie with my god damn bicycle
Faizal Hendrawan LMFAOOO practice dude Make it happen !!
I'm a baby boomer who spent last summer learning to wheelie my mountain bike. Never say die.
Faizal Hendrawan lol
Best comment. I'm just here to look at that badass bike.
I cant wheelie bicycle either cause Im fatass. But I can wheelie a dirtbike all day.
Great video, great info, great product placement and recognition. I bet his sponsors are riding him like Jockey Balboa. Nice work, K.I.U.
Great video. Short sweet and to the point💪🏽🇺🇸🏁
Always amazed watching these vids! What Talent!
"You wanna work your way to 12 o'clock" lmfao sick ass video!
Man I used to ride wheelies for days on my r1 and my zx10r. But my Dyna scares the shit out of me. I'll get it one day lol.
Did u get it yet??
I’d be more scared busting a fork seal by dropping it too hard
Wheelies are inevitably hard on your fork seals but it helps to throttle out while you’re dropping the front tire!

I hear you on the 55 dont heal fast but you know you can pick up a low cost Sportster right?
Screw that Harleys are too expensive to be doing shenanigans with.!! Good video though...you are a beast.!!
What kind of bikes these guys use. Is that a dyna or a fxd or what
Props dude! Those things are tanks.
used to have a Road King I pop wheelies on it all the time re-welded up the swingarm at least half a dozen times it's all fun until you do some effortless acrobatics when you're up in the air and you run out of gas LOL
Dump clutch..... and hold the fuck on😁
MannyMoto pretty much lol
Pay close attention to the tire. Traction is the epitome. On my Vegas a lot of tires will not let me pull the front end they just spin.
Is a dirt shark different from a mud shark? You sure make doing wheelies look easy, great skill set you have!
Thanks
Dyna wheelie is so cool...dyna drifting is AWESOMEEEE 😎
Dank Nooners!!
thanks, ima nail this shit now, or do i need to change my belts to chains
???

instruction not clear,i ended up in bakery window with tyre around my neck
😂😂😂🍻
Oh my. You ok dude?
nee mo resson!
Don’t forget to get a trackerdie case saver! Trust me on this one
Nice job dude 🤙🏿👍🏾🤙🏿
Are there any mods to keep the engine from starving for oil
ill bring my intruder vs800 up about a foot or two but thats about all the confidence i have in my fork seals.
Can this be done with a sportster 48
I don't want wheelie my beautiful harley. It's enough for me to watch you pro s doing it.
what bike is that?
Oh sure. Lemme just try that. Looks easy.
When you are clutching out, is it a clutch drop or a controlled release?
Clutch Drop
I just don`t have the balls to try this on my Harley.
I ain't got the balls nor the money to put my baby down
I really want a tour of monster energy.
That setup is sick even if you never wheelie the bike. Lol
Chains > belts
Will this also work with the 883? :D or not enough torque?
I used to know it, but I guess I forgot the brand of helmet.
Can anyone tell me the name of his helmet
Pls & thanks ✊
What kind of harley is he rocking?
What’s a good tire pressure?
What is your dashboard cover ???
what is this bike
Did that in my sleep once!
I love this Harley. Can somebody tell me what model is it?
Dyna
My buddy just bought the seat, but Black not brown, says it makes his wellies way easier...
Could a shadow 750 do this?
What bike
Finna do this soon 🙈
Yup you gotta give it gas when landing because its heavy and might get damaged
0:35 "First things first: Safety" *Wears a shirt* How else are we suposed to see his tatts lol
But his setups legit, dawg...😂
Helmets are the only thing you really need to be safe, all the other stuff just helps prevent road rash
Yeah I supose you are right, at least at the speeds he was doing.
I've been working on wheeling my 17 road king special need a passenger to get it up lol
can you swap- out the belt for a chain on almost any Harley?
probably. harleys used to be chain driven anyway. i'm sure the kit has all you need, depending on your model.
Diego Garcia yes.. for a price.
Diego Garcia yes you can. Harley didn't switch to belt drive till 1985 so any pre 85 harley will be chain drive already.
Cruisers are designed for this. It’s why the petcock is in the rear of the tank 😉
I'm working on it!
Great video, but one thing is wrong.
Practice doesn't make perfect
Is his motor mount loose?
Ledonin24 i saw that too it was jerking forward at 1:50
So basically if u want to keep your harley sharp and not break anything on it or yourself, its probably just best not to wheelie at all, got it.
Chains last forever? Negative. I've broke several chains. And stretched out hundreds more.
Your wheelies probably still suck.
coors1800 but relative to belts they can take much more stress
coors1800 I’m sure that’s not what he literally meant lol
Sounds like somebody didn’t do some maintenance.
coors1800 you have too much power
Is it possible to whelie 400cc cruiser?
Yes
One love ❤️🔥
Hi son, could you tell me or indeed demonstrate how to pull the perfect wheelie on a VTR 1000 F FIRESTORM/SUPERHAWK, please, Thank you:)
Your help and knowledge would be much appreciated.
Thank you :)
Rev the shit out of it, around 8,000-9,000 rpms. Dump the clutch and as soon as you feel the front wheel pick up push down on the rear brake
Watched this and turned into a squid instantly.

That's FILPP FLOPP HIPPADIE HOPP! do another blast hip hop....🎊🎉🎆🎇
KTM 1290 duke is a V-twin isn't it?
Easy sleazy! Just like that :)
Cant be the only one drinking monster while watching this lol
why would you do that?
No oil starvation on the first cilinder of a Harley?
i wouldn't think so. it would depend on your oil pressure. it's a dry-sump and i don't imagine you could wheelie long enough to do any actual damage anyway.
Brigman alright, so I cant compare the Harley vtwin with my suzuki sv 650 engine...because my engine doesnt have a drysump, so when I pull a weely the oil doesnt reach the front cilinder. Very cool do to wheely a Harley.....
When you get 2 plus miles on one wheel you will starve the front, holding them a quarter mile or so you don't have any adverse effects.
From what I understand, a lot of the guys put in a short extension in the oil pan, a little hollow tube that helps prevent this issue. My not being a mechanic is my excuse for the lack of technical terms, I just remember seeing a picture of this fix from some of the guys that do stunt riding on their Dynas.
RIP CYLINDERS 😭
First thing First....Shave your head and get some Neck Tattoos....Then Pull it up and Flip over BACKWARDS....
S Lit all those say “I’ll never have a job that says taxes”.
@@Anders-y5z Buddy Suttle is successful as fuck. Time to break that dumbass stereotype
pros make it look easy
I did this first try
Tank you
How do I get one of those seats brother?
Forgot one thing,
Must have mid pegs .
I’ve never seen anyone pull this off with forward pegs .
good point!!!
You can do it with forwards, it just feels super awkward.
JBStuntz - what up man I’m subscribed to you!
Hell Bent hell yeah! Thank you man 🙏🏻
Good video, now I’m going out for a ride and NOT wheelie my motorcycle.
Epic
I'm deaf I wish you guys could add closed caption.
Noah Margera they did with closed caption!
Air down your back tire a little.
I didn’t watch the video. Saw the thumbnail was a Harley, just buy a superduke. Now you can wheelie a v twin.
He says the most important thing is safety???
dope.
This video was not very informative. It would’ve been beneficial for a lot of people if you would’ve touched on the fact that mid controls really help. As well as taller suspension. But whatever I suppose you don’t need those things but they really do enhance your ability to do a wheelie.
I wish monster would send me all the flavours that they have made I would love to collect all the cans
Did he mention the back brake at all?
Imagine A World I did not hear him mention it, which is sad.
therealq10 not to mention dangerous
Had to re watch to verify. He showed a camera angle of him manipulating the rear brake but I doubt that it would be understood by someone who wasn't looking for it already.
"To remain at the balance point, it's all throttle control.... You always want to cover the back brake. If the bikes going to far back, you gotta hit that back brake to bring it back down." Somewhere near the 1:50 mark.
Yes he mentioned back brake
Scrum Thebum2 when
both fork seals shot haha
Nice
Good
👍👌
yeah sure let me go try it now, haha . these guys rip!!
Oh yea
Cool
Lol.. Safety, helmet... But no gloves (which at these speeds probably more important than helmet)
But why?
If you have to ask, you'll never know.
