How do you pull a wheelie?

Evening all

I did it once on a 500cc Honda by mistake your honour, never managed it yet on the 1200. What’s the technique?

Thank you

All my wheelies have been accidents. After 100 yards I felt the handle bars were loose. Oh shit the front wheel is not on the ground. JJH

Ride, brake so that the front dips, then release the brakes and as it rebounds apply a bit of throttle. Disclaimer, any accident is your own fault.

I've been wheelying bikes of all sizes and styles since the age of about 13........practice practice practice ...don't try to rush it...don't practice infront of an audience.

Avoid the stupid wheelie schools, they teach you nothing that will be transferable to a bike without the ham-fisted Buffon proof safety cut off mechanism


Break a leg

Turn off the anti-wheelie control and accelerate hard in first or second whilst leaning back. Be ready to back off the throttle and apply the rear brake if the front comes up too far.

Be careful though, it's great fun and you may want to do it often but it isn't something the police approve of!

690 Enduros are fantastic for this and it's probably a good thing I no longer own one.

How rude. Jacket from my other bike. Could pop a few wheelies on that.

That was slightly tuned. Holed pistons twice.

I'm sure there's a wheelie App available for the LC models.

Your best bet is to go and find a small rise (and fall) on one of your local roads. Use that to lift the front wheel. Most wheelies will start with a big transference of weight to the front (abruptly shut the gas and compress the forks) and then on gas as the springs in the forks rebound. Timing this throttle action of Off and On over a rise in the road will see your front coming up very easily.

Your telelever front end won't help you, because it doesn't dive under off gas.

I had a shot of an LC350 many years ago, would not idle at low revs, let the clutch out gently with higher revs straight onto the back wheel

Spoke to the owner, and he said oh did I not tell you, it’s set-up to race at knockhill that weekend

Use HSC for first time, make wheelie very easy.
