wheelies ( Complete guide by driving on rear wheel)!
To begin with, it must be said that everything stated here is mine. personal experience and the experience of my other familiar stunt riders. Following the following tips won't help you avoid falls, sprains, sprains, or even fractures, but it's still safer than if you taught yourself.
Preparing the bike for riding on the rear wheel.
Transmission:
For training, special training or alteration of the motorcycle is not required. Almost every sportbike gets on the rear wheel from first gear without problems. If your bike isn't spinning in first gear, it's not the bike. High gears are not needed until you start riding the rear wheel sitting on the tank - High Chair Wheelie (and then on weak motorcycles), riding in a candle without hands and in a circle.
Tires:
When you wheelie at high speeds, you should have good tires in the back (no Kings Tire or touring balloons). A tire with a visible or even palpable cord can create dangerous vibrations. I've tried doing a wheelie on a lunging wheel, and it's causing the bike to wobble insanely and it's hard to find the balance point. The new tire completely eliminated this problem. Decrease tire pressure below normal.
To drive in a candle at speeds over 30 km / h, make the tire pressure between 1.4-2.1 atm.
For driving in a candle at speeds below 30 km / h 0.84 - 1.4 atm.
In general, the optimal pressure for driving on the rear wheel. 1.2 -1.4 atm. A lower tire pressure will make the ride in the plug less stable.
Drop Sensor:
Most (or all, I'm not sure) bikes with injectors have this type of sensor. It can turn off the engine if you lift the bike very high into the candle. The sensor must be disabled. It's easy on Hondas. It is necessary to cut off the wires going to the sensor and bridge them together, and insulate the remaining wire. This method does not work for jixers. The copper ring in the sensor must be removed, or insulated with something like silicone.
Exhaust pipes:
if you are learning to ride in a candle for 12 hours, then the pipe (well, or pipes) will have to be shortened. On some bikes, the pipes touch the ground at the same time as the tail. If the pipe gets caught on the ground, it may cause a fall. I would even say that it will inevitably lead to a fall. * The pipe can be shortened by simply cutting off a piece from it and welding or riveting the tip back onto it, or simply buying it. Ready-made short pipes can be purchased here:

Steering Damper:
The damper, in principle, is optional for the performance of the wheelie, but sometimes it can save you from falling. When you drop front wheel on the ground, and the wheel is not straight, then a splinter may begin, which may lead to a fall. If you control the drop of the wheel and its position when it touches the ground, then you can do without a damper. But it's better that he was.
Arcs:
In the process of learning to ride a rear wheel, you will most likely drop your bike. Do not go to a fortuneteller. * Arcs will provide the most better protection which you can count on. They will certainly save a lot of money, but they will not completely protect your bike in case of falls. Bows can be ordered here:
Streetfighters
MXD Cage
Racing 905 Cage
Power Cages
Freestyle Ingenuity Cages
Wicked Crew Extreme Team's Cages
You can also make arcs yourself or contact your motorcycle service.
Yoke (frame 12 hours):
Set the yoke if you plan to train wheelie 12 o'clock. There are two opinions whether it is worth learning to ride in a wheelie with a yoke or better without it. My advice: yoke, but remember that the impact of iron on asphalt is much harder than plastic. But plastic is much more expensive. Here such a solution can come to the rescue: you need to put the Yoke in place, you can buy it again at Streetfighters.ru or in foreign Racing 905 Cage, Freestyle Ingenuity Cages, do it yourself or contact your motorcycle service.
Protective equipment:
Be sure to wear a helmet, jacket, gloves and other protection if you want to continue riding after falls. (On my own behalf, I advise you to buy wider jeans and wear knee pads under them. Also a very useful thing is the “turtle”, well, or in a competent way, full protection of the torso.) *
Before doing a wheelie on a bike.
If you have an ATV or motocross bike, it's best to practice on them first. You will learn to control the gas and understand where the balance point is, this will help you a lot in learning to ride a rear wheel on a full-size motorcycle.
So if you are ready to learn to ride in reverse then:
1.Make sure that the rear brake works and the brake foot is set to a comfortable position for you;
2. Check how tight the chain is. The free play should be 3-4 cm. Remember that an understretched chain can come off and cause a lot of trouble, and an overtightened chain will quickly devour the stars and may break;
3. Make sure there are no cracks in the footpegs and that all bolts are properly tightened.
Speed and landing on the bike.
I recommend learning wheelies in first gear. It's easiest for a bike to slip in first gear, and it's also important that many bikes have a rev limiter in first gear. This will prevent you from over-revving the engine. You and your bike will also suffer less damage when falling in first gear due to the noticeably slower speed of the wheelies. It's for this reason that I don't think it's good to do wheelies at high speed. good idea until the use of the rear brake becomes a habit. It's also much easier to go from climbing in first gear to climbing in second than vice versa. I think 30 km/h good speed to start learning, at a slower speed the bike becomes less stable and loses stability. I also recommend starting training with your left foot on the passenger footpeg and your right foot on the front footpeg with your toe on the brake pedal. At first it will look awkward, but then you get used to it. Most people think that riding in a candle is much easier to control while standing than sitting. (It's very easy to explain. Standing will make it much easier for you to move the bike while maintaining your balance.)* It's also much easier to lift the bike into the candle while standing.
Remember! Only falls can teach you how to ride on the back wheel and work the gas smoothly.
Why the Clutch Boot Method is the Best Method.
Clutch lift - best method lifting the bike into a candle, because there is always enough power to lift the bike on the rear wheel. At the same time, this leads to slightly faster wear of the clutch discs. What does not concern the chain. I have never heard of any problems with the chain as a result additional loads. There are many advantages to the clutch lift method over the gas lift method:
1. This method allows you to lift the bike into a candle, which cannot be lifted off the gas;
2. You can ride in the candle at lower rpm, respectively at a lower speed. This allows beginners to hold the bike longer at the candle and balance point. And also get less painful injuries *;
3. Rise is more predictable. This should be explained. When gas lift occurs, the front rises relatively slowly. When the front rises about a meter above the ground, there is a sharp jump upwards, since the gas is almost completely open. This can lead to unpredictable consequences. When the clutch lift is done correctly, the front rises almost immediately to the balance point, and there you can control the height of the lift already with the gas and / or body position. With a little practice, the clutch lift will become very stable and not scary at all.
4. All pros lift the bike with the clutch. You want to be like them, don't you?
How to raise a bike with a clutch?
There are a couple of different clutch lifting methods. I prefer the second method.
Method 1: Accelerate slightly first, then depress the clutch with one (or two)* fingers until the discs disengage. Then add gas and quickly release the clutch.
Method 2: Close the throttle, fully depress the clutch with one (or two)* fingers. Open the gas to normal speed (you can do the so-called gas flow) * and drop the clutch.
As you learn this method of climbing, don't throttle too hard before dropping the clutch. This will allow you to feel and learn the process of lifting the motorcycle with the clutch. Gradually increase the speed, and soon your wheel will rise close to the balance point. When climbing, slow down as you approach the balance point. If you are already past the balance point and releasing the throttle does not help bring the bike back to its normal position, lightly apply the rear brake. Climbing off the clutch in second and third gear may require extra effort, depending on the size of the bike. If the bike won't get out of the clutch, then a jerk will help. Do it at the moment you release the clutch and lean back a little.
Gear shift.
I don't recommend shifting gears while riding in a candle unless you can use the clutch. Shifting gears in a spark plug is hard on the gearbox. Also, if you make a mistake with the gear, the bike will drop very sharply on the front wheel, which is bad for the fork legs. My advice: learn to ride in a candle in one gear, without switching.
How to properly lower the front wheel to the ground.
Hold the throttle until the front wheel touches the ground. If you need to quickly lower the front wheel to the ground, turn off the throttle first. When the wheel goes down, then open the gas. Then the landing will be soft.
How to ride in a candle for a beginner. Step-by-step instruction.
1. Reduce tire pressure to 1.2-1.4 atm.
2.Engage first gear.
3. Accelerate to 20-25 km/h.
4. Depress the clutch.
5. Add some gas and drop the clutch.
6. Repeat step 5, increasing the speed until the front wheel approaches the balance point.
7. Reduce the throttle if the wheel is over the balance point.
8. Gently apply and release the rear brake.
9. Hold the throttle until the wheel drops to the ground.
The balance is longitudinal (back and forth) in the candle.
Forward-backward balancing is controlled by gas and rear brake. It is very good to learn first on an ATV or motocross bike. If the front wheel is in front of the balance point, then you must increase your speed. This can be compensated by more gas. If you are past the balance point, then use the rear brake or engine braking to return to it. The point of balance is the position of the bike in which it is not necessary to increase or decrease speed in order to remain in the same position. The height of the balance point depends mainly on the speed of riding in the candle. The higher the speed, the lower the balance point. The balance point also depends on the weight distribution of the motorcycle and the position of the rider on it. The goal of riding in a candle on balance is to keep the bike in balance for as long as possible. This is done by opening and closing the throttle, and applying the rear brake if required. Over time, you will learn to keep the bike in the candle, smoothly working the gas / brake.
The balance is transverse (right-left) in the candle.
This kind of balance is controlled by the position of your body on the bike. It is very useful to practice on a bicycle, motocross bike. When the motorcycle rides in a candle at a speed of over 35 km / h, then it is in balance. If the speed is less, then you have to balance the body. The principle is pretty simple. Quickly move to the same side that the bike falls on. For example, if the bike is leaning to the left, move to the left. This movement will cause the bike to turn to the left, compensating for its lean.
Prevent/stop splitting after a wheelie.
From my experience, I think front wheel flare can be caused by a worn tire (with a large flat contact patch), clumsy throttle and/or some body movement. Flail after landing from a candle at low speed is due to high pressure in the rear balloon and / or loss of lateral balance.
Driving control in a candle.
In order to steer the bike well in the candle, the bike must be at or behind the balance point. To control the bike in a candle at a speed of about 35 km / h, you just need to tilt it a little in the direction of the turn. To turn at lower speeds, you first need to tilt it in the direction you want to turn. For example, if you want to turn to the right, first slowly lean to the right. Then lean to the left a little faster, turning the steering wheel a little to the left. This will cause the bike to start to roll to the right. Then, without leveling the bike, you have to hold that angle. This will cause the bike to turn right.
Using the rear brake + slow riding in a candle / 12 hours.
Slow wheelie is riding behind the balance point. This is one of the hardest parts of learning to ride a wheelie because it requires not only skill but also courage. To learn how to use the rear brake, you must keep the bike behind the balance point by holding it with the rear brake. You will soon get used to it and riding in this position will become normal for you. To ride slowly in a candle, it is enough to keep the bike behind the balance point. If you get scared at this point and hit the rear brake hard, it will cause the front wheel to move forward and down without slowing the bike down. When slowing down, you should keep the bike behind the balance point by applying gentle pressure on the brake. As for the 12 hour ride, do the same, just release the rear brake a little and let the bike rest on the tail (or better yet, on the frame specially prepared for this) *. If you plan to stop in a 12-hour stance, then first brake and stop moving, and only then turn off the engine.
Slow ride in the candle.
First of all, increase the idle speed. I increase to 3500 rpm. High idle makes the slow wheelie very smooth. But be careful, the first time you try to drive in a slow wheelie with increased idle speed, you can roll over, so protect yourself with a rear brake. When riding slowly on the rear wheel in the spark plug (with the idle running high)*, after some practice, you will only use the rear brake and use the throttle only to lift the bike up the spark plug and lower it to the ground.
Once you understand all this, then all the varieties of riding in a candle will become clear to you.
* hereinafter Maximoto's notes.
(willy) - this is the name of riding on the rear wheel (and not only a bicycle, but also a motorcycle, but now it’s only about cycling).
So, put the smallest star in front and the middle one in the back (1-3 or 1-4). Willie has to ride with one or two fingers on the rear brake.
How to do a wheelie (ride a wheelie):
Why bet 1-3? Because on 1-4 and above it will be more difficult to catch the balance forward / backward. If it's 1-2 or 1-1 in general, you simply won't be able to accelerate, you'll fall to the side. Choose a straight section of the road for yourself, even a little uphill is better. Roll at low speed, pedaling, lean towards the steering wheel. When the push leg is in the upper position, do it in one quick movement: without getting up from the seat, tear the steering wheel towards you (lift the body) at the same time as pressing the pedals (the main effort is applied by the push leg, from the top position to the bottom). You need to do this so that the bike does not fly out from under you, but also hard enough so that the front wheel does not immediately fall.
Balance "forward - back":
The main idea with dosing is that if you are tilted backwards, you need to apply the rear brake very smoothly and quite briefly and immediately release it. Moreover, so that after pressing the bike not only does not stand on two wheels, but also the front wheel does not drop too much - this is the most difficult moment. Immediately after pressing, which will shift the balance forward, you need to press harder than usual on the pedals. And continue in the same spirit.
Balance "right - left":
To correct the balance, you need to use your knees and steering wheel. With the knees, everything is quite simple - if it tends to the left, put your right knee to the side, and vice versa. With the steering wheel it's about the same, just the opposite - turning the steering wheel to the right shifts the weight to the left. In principle, you will learn with the steering wheel, but there is a small snag with the knees - if you are led too far to the side, you will no longer be able to restore balance by retracting your knee and continuing to pedal. In this case, you need to do a surf (Surf) - everything is the same, but without pedaling. With a constantly exposed knee, the efficiency is much greater than when pedaling.
Main mistakes:
-Don't be afraid to fall back. Try to pull the handlebars harder to "fly forward" the bike and jump off the pedals, landing on two feet;
-do not get up from the seat -when driving a wheelie (for the time being). This is the same as with the knee (you can extend the bike this way if you are strongly tilted forward, and then sit down again).
- do not lean towards the steering wheel when driving a wheelie (!) - your back should be laid back, arms straight. Although sometimes it's good to go with a little arms folded- it's a little easier to catch the balance forward / backward, but the hands get tired faster;
- the brake should be pressed smoothly;
-if you accelerate - push the pedals harder, shift the balance a little back and apply the brake more often.
Deadlines:
About a week will pass before you will not accidentally drive 20 meters (press the brake several times without losing balance). This is for the stubborn, but the lazy ones will never learn - for several days nothing works out and they lose interest. It is better to try very often during the day and everything will work out.

Of course, many have seen entertaining video clips in which professional riders effectively and efficiently ride on the rear wheel, performing various tricks. The spectacle, we must admit, is very exciting. In general, surfing - riding on the rear wheel - is becoming increasingly popular. Not a single type of extreme skiing can do without this element. Therefore, there is no doubt that almost every teenager would like to learn how to ride a wheelie to surprise his beautiful girlfriends.
And there is no doubt that almost everyone who has a bicycle has made independent attempts to learn how to surf. Naturally, in most cases these attempts ended unsuccessfully. However, there is no need to despair, because riding on the back wheel is a completely achievable goal. Learning is difficult, but no one promised an easy life.
The first lesson is to properly pull out the steering wheel.
Let's start learning. It must be learned that in order to ride on the rear wheel, the rider must in no case be sitting - he must be on the pedals. While driving, you need to gradually transfer your body weight to the rear wheel. At the same time, along with this, it is necessary to slowly pull the steering wheel behind you with straight arms (only straight, in no case bent). The legs also work - they smoothly bend to right angle at 90 degrees.
Thus, the most important thing that any beginner surfer should understand is straight arms and legs bent at the knees. V otherwise nothing will work.
The second lesson is bike control
At what speed should you drive? It just depends on the rider. For example, if bicycles are traveling at a very low speed, then it is very difficult to pull out the handlebars. But less likely to fall off the bike and fill yourself with bumps. In short, you have chosen the optimal speed, smoothly pulled the steering wheel. It remains only to catch the balance point. The easiest part of the journey has been completed. Now you need to learn how to balance. And to do this, by the way, is not so simple. It is required to balance with the help of steering wheel movements, as well as arms and legs. You will have to spend a lot of time trying to keep your balance while riding on the rear wheel.
Lesson 3 - Improving Your Skills
In general, that's all. Now you know the basics of surfing. It remains only to read everything again and start training. To succeed, you need to train constantly, not from time to time. Only then will you be able to surprise others with a ride on the rear wheel.
Among fans of cycling, video sketches posted on the Internet are very popular, where experienced craftsmen skillfully and effectively move on the back wheel. The spectacle is quite interesting, causing a special desire in teenagers to learn similar practice ride.
Riding on the rear wheel of a bicycle is called Wheelie (Willie) or surf ride. To learn this, it will take several compulsory lessons, gradually revealing the technique and subtleties of the trick.
Getting ready for the first lesson
Learning how to properly control your bike
So, the first successes have been achieved - it is possible to cover a certain distance on the rear wheel. Now you need to learn how to control the bike in this position.
Again, we recall physics, the rules of the vector expansion of the applied force, in this case - from the center of gravity. Using my knees as a counterweight, you can quickly learn to "steer"- just tilt them in the desired direction of rotation. It is clear that sudden movements should be excluded - this will provoke an inevitable fall.
You can also adjust the direction of movement with the help of the steering wheel, but in a mirror form - to turn right, the steering wheel turns left, and vice versa. With more practice, every cyclist will find the most appropriate way to make turns.
Often disputes arise - it is better to sit in the saddle or stand on the pedals with half-bent legs. There is no general recipe - both methods have the right to exist, the main thing is that correct location center of gravity over the rear wheel. By the way, this largely depends on the design features of the bike. In any case, with good skills, it will be possible to ride, sitting in the saddle, with an air of complete serenity.
Common Beginner Mistakes
- Often, the fear of falling outweighs the desire to learn this trick. There is only one thing to advise - to overcome it.. Protective ammunition can play a significant role in this, allowing you to avoid serious injuries. In addition, you can, for starters, practice the correct dismounting on both legs from a bike that has reared up and gone out of control, passing it “under you” - this will surely add confidence.
- "Lowering hands" after the first failures. Don't expect success to come instantly. Do not believe those who say that they went the first time. Even learning to ride a bike takes time and patience, to say nothing of this. extreme form driving. Practice shows that significant success comes after a week of training.
- This has already been mentioned - when the front wheel comes off, you can not rely only on the jerk of the steering wheel with your hands- this is a dead end option.
- You should not bend down to the steering wheel, even if this seems to be the safest position - the center of gravity in this position cannot be maintained.
- Sudden movements, accelerations and decelerations are a direct path to a fall. Everything should be smooth and proportionate.
In order to learn how to ride on the rear wheel, it is important not to be afraid and not to panic at the first setbacks. Only hard training will bring with time positive result. However, the time will pass when you will laugh at your present self, when such a trick will be easily performed reflexively, and even the thought that someone cannot master this will seem strange.

The video will clearly show how to raise the front wheel and maintain balance:
