Does anybody have any tips on wheelies? I'm only a freshman in high school and am still learning, for I have only been riding for a few years. How do I do it? Pop the clutch? :noidea:

Get it in 3rd gear, close your eyes pin the throttle as you pull as hard as you can on the bars towards you, wait till you hear your rear fender snapping off , that's when you'll notice the bike has dumped you on the ground, and for a while you will tumble on the ground as you come to a stop, go pick up you bike and repeat previous steps. Let me know how it goes.

Depends on the bike. It's all about getting it to the balance point smoothly and quickly as possible.

Smaller displacement 2Ts like to be clutched up.
My bike, WR500, if I touch the clutch it'll rip the rear end loose. But a sharp movement on the throttle will loft the front without any issues.

Sitting back a bit helps but isn't always the right choice for the terrain/speed.

Cleaned all 3 bikes, and serviced all 3 air filters, mounted an Excel camera on the KTM and adjusted the spokes. Despooged both fork seals on both the KX 125 and the RM 250,lubed and adjusted all 3 chains. Problem is I noticed all the things the RM and KX need(tires,wheel bearings,linkage bearings, brake and clutch cables, chain and sprockets and it makes me feel broke just thinking bout fixin them.

Im not sure if I posted much about my CRF 250r that I traded for before shipping out. But I've got time right now.

I glanced at the air filter real quick during my inspection and was glad to see a clean filter. I immediately started tearing down to clean and inspect and that's when i found this...

Stinkbugs! Bastards! I got that all cleaned up and its great. The traction compared to my 125 is incredible. The bike just hooks up so well.
