How Fast Do You Have To Go To Pop A Wheelie On A Motorcycle

Wheelie on a motorcycle?

Some bikes don't have enough power/torque to hold it up. Dirt bikes are the best to learn on. The secret is the you have to be willing to pull it over on yourself and scratch up the bike. If you have a nice street bike and aren't willing to scratch it up - you never will learn. The other secret is that the "balance point" is much further back than feels comfortable (it feels as if you are 'going over')

Motorcycle throttle blip vs wheelie?

I am not going to say it is not possible but I think it is unlikely on a downshift. The point of a down shift is usually because you are slowing down and possibly preparing to accelerate after going around a corner. you should never downshift while cornering you should get that done before you enter the corner. As for the wheelie while downshifting you would likely have to over rev your engine ( go beyond the red line) to wheelie during a downshift.

Why is it easier to pop a wheelie on some motorcycles than others?

Torque and horsepower.  A wheelie results when the turning force of the back wheel being spun up overcomes the leverage of the rest of the bike (and the rider) keeping itself horizontally aligned.   Torque is essentially a measurement of leverage, "How much you can move" whereas horsepower is "How fast you can move it".  Combine both at the right spot on the tach, where the torque curves and horsepower curves are both at optimal, and the bike will rotate backwards, lifting the front wheel off the ground (and if the rider is particularly hamhanded, rotating the bike past vertical and dumping said rider!).  Usually this means you have to spin up the motor to just the right spot and then dump the clutch, which transitions the bike driveline from "very little resistance" to full load in an instant.  You'll either spin out the rear tire, OR you'll loft the front wheel*. It goes without saying that some bike's torque response and horsepower aren't suited to wheelies... this doesn't mean it can't be done, but that it takes a skilled wheelie artist to perform such a feat. Please don't try this trick where there's any danger of an uncontrolled bike hitting a kid, or a car, or a neighbor's fence, or a tree.  Stunting is learned through a lot of "falling down" events, so if you don't have the gear, or a beater bike you don't mind hitting the pavement, don't try it.

How do You pop a wheelie?

How do I do a wheelie and stoppe?

The basic requirement for wheelie is blipping the throttle. Make sure you are on a empty stretch of road. Buildup your engine revs to 4500-5000 RPM (because you have a Karizma) and leave the clutch suddenly. That us called blipping. The front wheel might not go up perfectly, but thats a start. Please don't build up higher revs initially. In a Pulsar 6k-7k is enough to put the bike front wheel up. Might be lower in a Karizma. Practice and you can find the sweet spot. Now when you perfect stop-go wheelie. You can look into Rolling wheelie, where the bike will be in motion and you can pull a wheelie.Stoppies are easier to make. Difficult to hold. Make sure your front disc brake pads and front tyre have life left in them and no sand on road. Build speeds upto 40kmph. Come to neautral. Hold your tank using your knees. Use the front brake. Bike will lift up. Make sure the Angle is not too steep else bike will topple over you. If you feel bike is steeping too high. Let go of the front brake. Make sure your leg touches the ground along with the bike, when bike returns to ground.These are basic guiding principles. You can further see youtube videos to hone your skills. Do know stunting gobbles up bike parts faster. Wheelie can put pressure on clutch plates, front wheel, suspension. Stoppies can exert pressure on Disc pads, front suspension.Make sure you are geared up complete with Knee and elbow protection. If possible remove all fairing from the bike as any unnecessary fall won't destroy the plastics.Hope this helps. Thanks for A2A.

What are the physics involved in a wheelie on a motorcycle?

When a motorcycle is moving along a level surface, gravity exerts a force on the center of mass of the motorcycle, perpendicular to the wheelbase of the motorcycle, that is balanced by normal forces exerted by the ground on the motorcycle at the front and rear wheels. The conditions of equilibrium are met. To loft the front wheel into the air, the rider must do something to stir this equilibrium, i.e. they must unbalance the torques about the rear wheel.  Whatever torque is applied about the rear axle must be greater than the downward torque that gravity exerts about the rear axle by acting on the bike and the rider at their respective centers of mass. When the bike has both wheels on the ground, this torque is balanced by an upward normal force that acts on the front wheel. If the engine is able to transmit more torque to the rear wheel than the gravitational torques, the front end will rise.  Here is a video (from the show SCIENCE OF STUPID) that explains it with a little fun;

How do you pop a wheelie on a yz85?

Like anything else, work out whewre the best torque is in 1st gear, ride at just below that speed, stand on the footpegs, pull as hard as possible on the handlebars as you snap the throttle open and up she comes then either shut the throttle, change up etc and down comess the front wheel or panic and fall off the back. The stand on the pegs and an almighty pull technique works well on all sorts of gutless wonders, I even did this on a Honda 50cc step through at top speed and did a huge wheelie, which overbalanced and left me sliding down the road at 30mph laughing uncontrollably
