As the topic suggests they are crap because i cant do them
ive been relying more on power in 1st to get it going up, but my mate uses the clutch up method.
Ive tried to clutch up but i ease it out quickly and it doesnt happen. he reckons i shuold put it on friction point and just let go off the lever and let it snap back.
any ideas/ alternatives?
grrr it doesnt work
im kinda scared to flick it koz i hit 12 oclock on my gpx years ago and now im scared to jsut let it go :S
I wish i had wings....

1. Sit comfortably, upright on the bike. You don't have to slide back for this trick.
2. Drive at a steady pace around 1500-2000rpm. (should be about 30-40kph). When you are ready for liftoff, quickly open up the throttle and accelerate. This is VERY important because it compresses your rear suspension. It's very difficult to clutch a wheelie without compressing rear suspension first. You're not trying to build up speed! Starting at low RPMs is very important. If you start a clutch wheelie at 5000RPM, it will be very difficult and you'll red line long before you go vertical. Power comes from low RPM.
3. Almost immediately after accellerating, pull clutch in enough to disengage and let the engine rev to about 6000RPM. You can do this slow at first, eventually it becomes an instantenous motion.
4. Quickly release the clutch about 80%. This is the hardest part. You HAVE to release fast. You'll know you release too fast when you RPM drops down to 2000 - this means you released too fast. Practice practice practice. When you get it right it will feel like you have hydraulics on your front wheel and pop right up (much quicker and smoother than a power-bounce wheelie).
5. Once you master this your bike should be popping up a little bit. The next step is throttle control. While releasing the clutch, add throttle. If you want to go big - vertical - and stay there - the big thing to learn is that you can not let go of the throttle OR the clutch. You will control height of the wheelie with your clutch at this point.
6. So once again.. once comfortable with the clutch release motion, start giving it lots of throttle. You should be able to keep it up in 1st gear for a few seconds without any problems. The higher you go the longer you stay up.
7. Once you get good, you won't have to rev before you clutch. Do them at the same time.
dont pull the clutch in and rev the tits off the bike....
use like 2 fingers on the clutch only, and BLIP the clutch...thats the trick..its a really quick motion...literally pull the clutch in and let it go in like a fraction of a second.... as u do it, rev the bike to where u need it (depends on what u are riding)...
it takes time, practice, and u have to accept that u may flip the bike..if ur scared of crashing..then dont do it..
One finger on the clutch (other fingers need to hold onto the bars to feel secure).
Cover the rear brake.
Accelerate briskly to about 30-40, dip clutch with one finger, twist the throttle and let the clutch out.
If it doesn't come up, you either give it more throttle, or let the clutch out faster.
Stop the bike (or at least slow to walking pace) between attempts. The brisk acceleration up to 30-40 is an important part of the exercise, loading the suspension etc.
Ive adjusted the clutch to 4 so it should be abit easier to blip with 1 finger....
gonna be a fun ride to work tonite
yeah ive completely forgot about coverin the break lol
ZZR is a big heavy beast so i feel like a midget straddling a bushpig when i ride it
in other news i can almost balance jesus christ on the seat , jsut still got some problems lettin go off the tank with my knees
