hey guys i just got a stock crf50 and cant pull wheelies, i mean i can do them all day long on my quad but not this, is theere a trick to it, also i was wondering is it a good idae to make ur own stunt bar thanks

rev kinda high in 1st gear (not to high), shift up and pull up at the same time and keep your balance using the throttle, weight and back brake. thats how i do them.

For stockers, its easy to do on 1st gear low RPM and suddenly give it gas and pull back... I know its a noob way but I found it to be easy.

its all about getting the timing right. 1st is pretty easy to pull up but you need to be creeping along slowly when you open the throttle and pull back. Easiest way is to pull up when youre shifting from 1st to 2nd...but you have to be careful

example:
Tried a "pop into 2nd gear" wheelie

Through your body weight back. A stock 50 needs more then just throttle to get them up. At least for most people, maybe if you weigh less then a buck thirty.

Sit on the 12 bar if you have one, otherwise sit as far back on the fender as you can, just be caureful because BP is at like 11:56 if you're doing it right

Been there, done that. Sucks hitting your head on tree branches or taking a birds nest to the face!

Brewman

+1 Yeah you definately gotta watch out for them bird nests.

Try learning them on a slight incline, I learned them in second gear when I was starting out.

lean back young'n

put you feet down and use them as a wheelie bar to start out.

Brewman

Don't do Fagdrags 1st they are gay, 2nd they form bad habits and you will progress slower than you should, and 3rd you'll probably end up banging your shins on your rear or regular pegs which hurts like hell.

Fat Tire

+11111111 DONT DO FAG DRAGS. Like Brewman said they form bad habits that are hard to break.

50-50

There's no need to sit on the 12 bar or any stupid BS like that. I can ride wheelies in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear on my stock 50. I can also "clutch" wheelies up with the stock motor which includes the auto clutch. It just takes practice. I can't stress that enough. At first I sucked on wheelies and thought I'd never be able to do it.

Sit towards the rear of the seat. Make sure you're balanced left to right and the balls of your feet are on the footpegs. The left to right balance is much harder than the front to back on a 50 IMO. Stay in 1st gear. Going up a slight incline will definitely make it easier to learn. Get on the throttle, let off and push down on the bars to compress the suspension, and then time it so you lean back and pull back on the bar as you open the throttle when the suspension is rebounding. Make sure you are always ready to hit the back brake to keep from looping out. You have to have confidence in your abilities and you also CANNOT be afraid to crash or you won't master it. I was never good at using the footbrake so I bought a 50 stunt rear handbrake and wouldn't trade it for any other part! It gives you so much confidence that you can save any wheelie at any speed from looping out.

I also 100% do not support fag drags, learn with your feet on the pegs.

Shortyboy281

i also gotta question...
i can do 1st gear wheelies for almost 100 feet.
but the rpms top out and theres no more power left unless i shift..

and i dont have enough power to do them in 2nd..

i heard it was bad to shift into 2nd? which i havnt tried yet haha

Brewman

Learn balance point.

Shortyboy281

i found my balance point but i would love to wheelie longer but i rev out.

and i realized i typed it wrong.
i shift from 1st to 2nd and rev out in 2nd gear.**

I think you need a new powerband I put one in and can wheelie all day
