And if you do come off badly, u r not far away from help.....samhasa636 wrote:If this helps:
a) I've seen a video of a guy in the US riding a stand up on a ZZR250
but then consider this
b) I've watched a kid loop a ZZR250 after trying too hard to ride a wheelie.
What's the answer... save it for a bigger bike, find a nice quiet spot, hospital carparks are ideal. It's heaps easier and your chance of looping is greatly reduced.

i agree that the 250's are bloody hard to get up, and once there up they are hold to maintain due to the lack of power...i even struggle on a 600 to do a decent wheelie as im a "throttle control" wheelier.....then again i cant wheelie to save my life...

Re: Woohoo Finally!
Haha go hard, here is mr.piggie's view on doing it gawd love him >>>> http://www.ksrc-au.com/html/how_to_chuck_a_wheelie.htmlstevew_zzr wrote:I just felt like sharing, but i *finally* managed to get the ZZR250 to lift it's front wheel.
Probably about 3 inches from the ground for about 2/10ths of a second. But I'm proud anywayTook a crapload of clutch/throttle in 1st gear, only thing else i could do is lean back further.
I'm guessing that lifting the thing right up is impossible ?
There ya go, see someone actually reads the main page

haha i remmeber learning wheeleies on 93 zxrr gearing, flatslides etc all working against you. i found that flat out accel to about 6k rpm then a long 'flick' of the clutch lever was just enough to bring her up and hold it up.... missed gear changes fkd up my front sus tho..... so after i go the repair bill i reverted to power wheelies on the race bike only.
