Let's hear it. Technique, power, torque, clutch, throttle, rpm's etc...????
Any videos or pics would be cool.

Get a rolling start,,, pull in clutch,, rev the motor way up,,, dump the clutch,, pull hard on the bars at the same time and hang on,,, throttle control is now very important,,, if you get too far back,, tap the rear brake,,, above all you will probably crash at some point,,, make sure insurance is up to date,,, it's that simple.

Pick you a road thats not too slick or you will justsmoke the rear tire, 4.2k at about 3-4 mph
and lean back a little and dump the clutch. it will go up.

Rev it to the limits and then dump the clutch.[
]After you heal,fix your bike and ride it as it was designed.

LOL! That's what I did with my Dirtbike, an '03KDX220R. Mind you that was my first ever bike and I got it brand new in '04. It's a 2 stroke. I spent that summer with a cast and 4 pins in my wrist. Boy was THAT a bad idea. No more wheelies for me!!! I like to watch people do them though. I don't even want to attempt a wheelie now. Some people (me) need to learn things the hard way. I sitll have the dirtbike. It helps get the stupid out of my system,
