a) I've seen a video of a guy in the US riding a stand up on a ZZR250

but then consider this

b) I've watched a kid loop a ZZR250 after trying too hard to ride a wheelie.

What's the answer... save it for a bigger bike, find a nice quiet spot, hospital carparks are ideal. It's heaps easier and your chance of looping is greatly reduced.


And if you do come off badly, u r not far away from help..... :lol:

i was thinking the same thing.....might try it myself..close to "home"...lol..

i agree that the 250's are bloody hard to get up, and once there up they are hold to maintain due to the lack of power...i even struggle on a 600 to do a decent wheelie as im a "throttle control" wheelier.....then again i cant wheelie to save my life...

Probably about 3 inches from the ground for about 2/10ths of a second. But I'm proud anyway :P Took a crapload of clutch/throttle in 1st gear, only thing else i could do is lean back further.

I'm guessing that lifting the thing right up is impossible ?


Haha go hard, here is mr.piggie's view on doing it gawd love him >>>> http://www.ksrc-au.com/html/how_to_chuck_a_wheelie.html

Yeah i've tried a few things, but still can't get it up for more than a few tenths of a second or more than about 6 inches from the ground... must be limp wristed or maybe not leaning far enough back ;)

yup im a power up wheelie man too...but most of my mates are "clutch up"..if i do that in 1st i shit myself...2nd is different tho...

Sun Dec 25, 2005 3:25 pm

haha i remmeber learning wheeleies on 93 zxrr gearing, flatslides etc all working against you. i found that flat out accel to about 6k rpm then a long 'flick' of the clutch lever was just enough to bring her up and hold it up.... missed gear changes fkd up my front sus tho..... so after i go the repair bill i reverted to power wheelies on the race bike only.
