    nxr 125 wheelie-help

    I have seen some people wheelie these bikes well, when I stand I can pop the front wheel in the air, but that's it, does the bike just not have enough hp to do it, or am I doing something wrong?
    Tx

    You are doing it wrong ok. what you have to do is find that elusive balnce point. get the front up and then use the throttle and rear break to keep it at the balance point.
    Start off doing controlled slow ones somewhere private where you wont disturb anyone. have a look on youtube at slow wheelies there are loads of good insructional vids on there.
    I,m still a wheelie virgin, that is to say I still cant do a monster through the gear box half a mile down the road all under control.
    What I can do is loft the front wheel over the odd bump here and there and thats it.
    A 125cc has enough power for some awsome mono wheel antics unfortunatly muppets like us just dont have the talent to be able to do them.
    Do a search of "can you wheelie" on this forum I started it cos I cant, there is some great advice on that thread. good luck.
