12 o'clock wheelies
How in the hell do people do 12 o'clock wheelies just the matter of gettin them up that high while already going 50 mph. I thought you had to have a real powerful bike but thats not the case because i was proved wrong the other night. How do u do it exactly... pop the clutch? get your feet on the back pegs and bounce? if anyone can help me on the process of popping a nice wheelie that you can actually ride for a little bit. im sure my bike could do it i just need the right way to

Re: 12 o'clock wheelies
Do you want to do a 12 o'clock or just ride your wheelies out for a long time? To ride a wheelie out all you have to do is get to the balance point and stay there with good throttle control. 12's I'm not sure how you do 'em safely, but I do know most people buy or make a bar to stop the rear fairing from being crushed.

Its all a matter of getting to the balance point for long wheelies. It takes practice, mostly because you have to learn where the b/p is. You can bounce it or clutch it up, but clutching is damaging to the tranny. Like I said before a 12 o'clock ussually requires a bar attached to the subframe soyou don't flip and or destroy the bike.
