uh oh...your going to get burned on this one. 2 months of riding and you want to learn how to wheelie? Everyone is going to say "learn how to ride first, then if your still alive learn to wheelie" And they are right. Dude take your time learning to ride. Learn, Learn, Learn and then when your done learning, learn some more. But I know this wont stop you from trying to get that front end up. So be safe out there. Take it slow and wear your gear.

Right on. Well just be safe. Trying to do wheelies when your not ready can really come back to sting you...hard. The easiest way to get the front end up on your bike is to clutch it up. Bring the clutch in about halfway then rev it up to about 9-10K and pop the clutch...make sure your going about 20 mph first...the front end will come up quick so make sure your covering that rear brake. If it comes up to quick let go of the throttle and SLOWLY apply the rear brake. You dont want the front end to come crashing down. Take it slow, its going to take you a while to get it right and have the front come up at all. TAKE IT SLOW!!!!!!!!!

Not here to say if you should or should not do anything, but here is some video I took after having my CBR 3 weeks. This will show you how quick it comes up. Your not going to get it to stand up without at least blipping the throttle a little as you can see on the tank cam. I am no expert or near as good as some guys on this site, but I will help you get the basics down. PM me with specifics.

Lol. Sorry Murph but you as wrong as they come. You don't try power wheelies do you? Every single wheelie in that video I posted is power up. Sorry, there are 2 clutched up. Don't give false advice. Get higher with clutch? I don't want any higher or I am going to be on my ass.

rydnlo99 : I will help answer any questions you may have. I will not give you advice that I have not experienced first hand.

Keep pushing yourself but remember your limits and ease off when it doesn't feel right. I know people who has ridden for more than 2 years and they still dont lean as much as other riders. Keep pushing yourself further and further but keep in mind that this is real and you can fall if you push too far. I started doing wheelies on my 3rd week of learning how to ride a bike.

This is 2 months later

It took me about a total of 5 months to finally feel comfortable with leaning i now have complete control of my bike.

do a search for "wheelie" or "wheelies" on this site and you should see plenty of post where myself as well as others give detailed advice on this topic. all i have to say is cover your rear brake! it could save your life. literally.

I'm fairly new but I agree with several people, push yourself but know when to back off. Just so you know there seems to be a lot of torque around 8k that's when I've accidentally ,yet easily, got it off the ground taking off fast. Keep practicing without trying to go all-out crazy and you'll get a lot better before you realize it.

Power wheeling an F4 in first gear isn't too difficult.

There are a number of things you should be careful about when learning to pull wheelies:

Clutch wheelies can lead to the bike going vertical very quickly (people jam the throttle open in first and dump the clutch). The result ends up being either a loop (flipping over backwards - very bad) or a rapid closing the throttle/hammer the rear break which forces the front end back down, generally very hard which, if the bike isn't straight/level, can cause a pretty nasty crash (bike lands on rider or highsides tossing the rider into the ground).

Power wheelies on lower powered bikes like the F4 generally take some practice at first, to find the right RPM and throttle technique. This usually translates into smaller wheelies at first, which are, in turn, easier to get used to.

As with anything, start small and work your way up. Better yet, go get a dirtbike and learn on that.
