How to do a wheelie on a dirt bike?



Hi, I got a new motorcycle a few weeks back. It is a 2006 Honda CRF150. I have rode motorcycles before, but have never been able to do a wheelie. I think I just dont have the right technique. How much throttle and pull back would I have to ride a wheelie on this bike?

With a bike like the CRF150F you need to use the clutch to get the front end off the ground. On a MX bike you can just use throttle, but the 150F doesn't hit hard like an MX bike. Start by just practicing getting the front wheel up, but don't worry about keeping it there. Just practice on how much throttle you need when you dump the clutch without flipping over backwards. Try going rather slow in 2nd gear, 1st will wind out too quickly, as you're going along just pull in the clutch, give some gas and dump the clutch. Take it easy at first and keep your foot over the rear brake just in case the front gets too high. Once you master getting the front end up just work on your balance. Try to keep the bike in the lower RPM range, if the rpm's get too high the front will drop as you run out of steam.
As you know there are two different techniques to wheelie a bike. The first would be to take off in first gear and kill the throttle and snap it back quickly. The only negative thing with this one is by the time you get to your balancing point you are going fast.

The second technique(I prefer) is to take off in first and dump the clutch, then give it a little more gas. Then pop out the clutch. As your bike rises to the balancing point let off just a little bit...and ride it through. This procedure works for me on my dirt bike and my sport bike. Good luck it will take several times to master.
but the bike in second gear and get the rpms about half way and lean back and give it alot of gas but not to much or the bike will fall back on you
