ok damnit im sick of seeing people talk shit about power wheelies just because they clutch up. clutching up does NOT automaticly disqualify what you are doing from a power wheelie. powering up and doing a power wheelie are not the same thing, if you are accelerating and using the power of the bike ie: more and more gas, shifting gears to keep it up, you my friend are doing a power wheelie.

I power my wheelies up. the higher i go, the longer the wheelie stays there at a decent mph! sometime it will hit rev limiter, but i have to learn to shift.

I like power wheelies because that is how i learned. I have a lot of stunt guys tell me to clutch it up, but Y????
I like them now. eventually i might want to learn to clutch but you have to take baby steps.
The guys on the street or "squids" will sometimes turn it into a abortion debate. If you are learning, like me then you have to be comfortable in what you are doing! Great post JZ! you are 100 percent correct brother!

i almost looped my gixxer doing a powerwheele i guess when it was coming up just before the bp it hit the powerband and the bike almost looped
also clutching feels so much smoother

either way, if you are gaining speed you are pretty much doing what we call "wheel chasers" here. learn to clutch it up and ride bp if not past bp. dont be scared of your bike.

i think thats what its called everywhere

....if you don't go high enough, don't chase it, bring her down, and try again.

I like to chase my wheel :P im like a dog in the wind chasing something out the car window :P My question is, if you clutch it lower than bp, is it ok to bring it up to bp? I myself would rather not try and hop it to bp everytime, as different circumstances bring the wheel up faster..... Im getting closer to being at bp each time. I can ride them for quite a ways. I seem to gain a bit of speed then hold steady, then gain, then steady, and I feel it getting too high in the revs, dont want to limit out, so I set it back down. How big of a window do you have at bp? I know im right at the edge and its KILLING me
