What about getting the bike to stand up from a stand still. What''s your technike (Spelling, I know I ****ed that up). I imagine you get it up to 4-5k and dump the clutch, but I don''t know

yeah pretty much.... hahaha but if your asking that im guessin your not all that into stunting and or doing wheelies....

dead stop wheelie''s gonna be a lot harder then a moving wheelie.... i would try those first then move onto slower ones....

^^ agreed - you might want to learn stability on the bike. Get some duct tape and run a line about 20-30 feet and then set your bike''s front tire on the line and try to go as slow as you can down it without tipping it or putting your foot down. (we do these in vegas called slow drag races)

(fun sh*t, that''s Nick Apex on the right - and no, he didn''t try to run over the other bike.. just kind-of lost control)

once you get that down, then you can start with "techinques"

(i''m just correcting ya, not bashing) but you always start with around 3Krpm''s and try to pop it up from there - if nothing, add another K. But if your stunting, your idle should be around 2.5K-3K so when you get used to BP wheelies, you can already move on to idle BP wheelies (without any adjustments).

From my little bit of experience, you pretty much have to catch it with your back brake from a dead stop. So if you dont have a handbrake its gonna be real tough.
