\r\n \r\n ok first off wear your gear... protect yourself then the bike...
\n
\nsecond i dun know how others feel about it but i use one finger to pull in clutch it kinda limits to just the right disengagement, then i go about 2/3 throttle... and dump the clutch .thats about it keep trying little bits of throttle more n more to u hit the sweet spot no need to rush... and you might want to do sit downs till you can manipulate the bike left n right from a sit down position and dun forget to listen for the yut uhhh the bike makes on the way up lol\r\n

\r\n \r\n learn on a small dirtbike or atv first. if you absolutely must learn on your minty stunner piece...... get going about 15mph, and lightly pop the clutch with minimal throttle, just get the bike a foot off the ground and get used to feeding a gentle input of throttle to keep it up, try to be fluent about it, once you get it up 1 foot and keep it there for lets say 20-30 feet, let the front end gently come down. as you get into taller wheelies you will have to let off the gas a bit to allow it to come down and as the wheel gets closer to the ground you want to accelerate again to set it down gently. and please pull in the clutch once the wheel is on the ground, its so annoying when people let the bike scream in 1st gear.
\n
\nyou just need to practice from that point, gentle pop of the clutch to get it up, ride it out, and each time you do it, try to ride the wheelie out a few more feet in distance. when you feel comfortable, allow the bike to come up a little taller. if you can still see the road through your windscreen, you are still right below balance point, so dont get scared.\r\n
