So i know this has been talked about lots, But i need help.
So i got a 96 900 -1/+2 and i can't do a wheelie and its pissing me off when i had the f3 it was easy but know i can't. My buddy can do them fine i try the same way i might get couple of inchs. I have not clutch up just yet trying to get the power ones up first. I have read everything over and over watch the movies, I know she will do it because my buddy does them. What am i doing wrong ?

i could do it on mine stock buddy

basically just get commited .. get going and snap that throttle wide open and she will come up .. maybe you need to get a 929 now

haha or learn to clutch it up (im still practicing that )

stop trying to power it up dude thats gay and you are better than that. just whack the throttle and disengage then engage clutch at the same time

You need to get used to the torque that the 900 has. I was trying to hard and having a hard time lifting mine at first, but I drove it for a good four months and got used to the bike. Last week I decided to try to wheelie again and realized you don't have to rev the 900 to lift it. What I do is go to a 2000 rpm 1st gear and just slip the clutch a little and go up on the rpm and it goes up all the time. The 900 is a very torquey bike and really does'nt need a gear change. I ride the wheelie out quite a bit but I still need to go the extra lift to balance point. It's just a matter of getting used to the bike. Like all the advice I got from everybody on this board; practice is the key. Johnny

i would listen to JZhales - if you can learn clutch wheelies first, you would be better off.. it's a bad habit for power wheelies..

but keep your bike in first gear around the powerband kick (right when you feel powerband wants to kick in) probbly around 6K RPM's, then just hit the throttle back - try this a couple of times (going up little by little more each and everytime and you will do a power wheelie) but trust me, it's a bad habit........

be safe
