Having a hard time trying to wheelie my 450

[Ride.221]

Mmmm. Biffing it on pavement is delish. If I could- I'd do it all over again lol. Luckily...I was only in third

The reason i said to do it on pavement is because its always feels the same. The traction would be the same. YOu dont have to worry about spinning tire and going no where or spinning tire and then having it all a suden grab on you.

Sorry, I might have sounded rude. Hard to tell over written word I suppose. I was just trying to be silly

We don't care about him anymore. We are talking about "OUR" wheelies now!

Advanced wheelie techniques: First, find an old TM400 cyclone then.......

This guy has not been online for some time now. My research has shown that the "450 guy" has not only learned to wheelie. He has set many wheelie records on his 450f with an angled carb, 63 tooth rear sprocket, a motor to keep the front wheel turning, and a rear brake lever mounted below the clutch. In an interview with the Gueness people he said "I owe all my success to The guy at [All Things Moto] I believe he called himself Crowmoto.

Wheelies are fun!! ONly problem i have is ill get pretty good at it then loop the crap out of it. Last one i looped put me out for a while. still trying to heal from it. I ride a cr250 two stroke dont have any problems getting it up. Ive ride 450f's and they are easier to get up. Last time i rode and was going down a hard packed gravel road running in 4th prolly going around 60 pulled the front end up and the back end kept breaking loose on me. kept trying it and finally pulled it up again felt the front end try to drop back down as my rear tire was breaking loose so i grabbed 5th while the tire was still spinning loose grabbed some more throttle then the back decided to grab traction which sucked!! End up tumbling down the road prolly around 75 or so and ended up gash my knee open really good fracturing my knee cap and having to get surgery on it. All in all wheelies are funny but you gotta watch out sometimes and try not to loop it!! Ride hard!!
