Wheelies!!!

[Coleguy]

Hey! I have recently started learning wheelies on pure dirt bikes but I want to do them on my Bashan dual sport bsgy200 . does anyone have experience being successful doing wheelies on their Chinese dual sports? I'm a bit hesitant because there are like ZERO replacement parts around for my bike..its such a bummer. Thanks

I thought it shared most of its parts with the hawk and the tt250?

I'd stick to doing it on the dirt and on dirt bikes, at least until you're REALLY good at it. It's amazing, almost shocking, the amount of shattered parts that go scattering everywhere on a street legal bike from looping it, especially on pavement.

Your mirrors are on backwards, you have the left on the right and vice versa. I made the same mistake and figured it out a day later.

I've popped a bunch of wheelies on mine. There is just about enough torque to pull the front wheel off the ground with nothing more than throttle. So like others have suggested, practice on dirt!

Put it in first, get yourself rolling really slow by slipping the clutch just a tad while revving the engine moderately. I don't have a tach, but I'm guessing around 3,500-4K RPM. Then, give the throttle a hard twist while letting the clutch out and pulling back just a tad on the handle bar.

The trick here is to start very small! Try using virtually no clutch and all throttle first. Get a feel for the max pull the bike can generate. After you've done that a couple dozen times, start working in just a bit of clutch slipping by revving slightly higher and dropping the clutch each time.

So basically what you are doing is keeping the throttle twisting constant, while learning to work the clutch for maximum impact.

Beware though. After you've popped a few small ones, you're going to get over confident and decide to try a big one! And when you do that, you could easily break something. The bigger the wheelie the higher the risk of involuntarily jerking your throttle wrist and exacerbating the situation. You'll run the risk of dumping the bike backwards, or having to quickly brake or kill throttle and slamming the front wheel into the ground.

So in summary... Start VERY small, and work your way up slowly.

Very true! I will be on my pure dirt bike learning them for another 2 weeks but I want to eventually do them on my Chinese bike. Nervous about not finding parts though. Thanks!

Awesome video! So many people say that 250 don't have enough power to get up in wheelies but I've seen it done so many times. I practiced on grass and cement. Cement was easier for me because my rear would slip on grass haha

And don't forget to cover the rear brake if/when it all goes wrong...
