Wheelies

[Psyonyde]

sometimes when i want to pull a catwalk, or wheelie on my 200m, i will hold down my shifter in 1st gear, and rev up the motor. i let it shift, and i pull off a wheelie. i was wondering if that method of wheelying is bad for my bike, or if it can break anything.
thanks

Not really. Doing so basically only disengages the automatic clutching. I wouldnt reccomend doing it all the time, as it obviously will cause wear and tear, but your not really hurting much unless you do it constantly (and are revving up to about 7k and dropping the hammer)

That the only way that I can get my 84 110 to wheelie up. I can do wheelies on my 79 all day.

On a 110? All you do is keep it in 3rd gear or less, throw some weight toward the axle, and goose it. They come up and over without any problem whatsoever, unless you got something causing a massive case of "anemic 110" disease.

On my 79 it has a knobby in the front so that helps. My 84 has a kenda mud puppys (which I totally hate) in the front and the rear axle has been moved back some to.
