goodluckmonkey Posted October 22, 2005 Found this vid posted on another forum. http://www.stuntkingz.com/vidz/old_videos/3_mile_wheele_512mb.wmv No protective gear but a helmet, totally irresponsible location, and some foul language at the end. Briliant For the record, i wear all my gear, don't f**ckin' swear, and haven't wheelied for more than 2 miles on the public highway. Enjoy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YZLEE Posted October 23, 2005 I've heard that if you ride a wheelie long enough you will starve the engine of oil. Is there any credence to this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fraley Posted October 23, 2005 I've heard that if you ride a wheelie long enough you will starve the engine of oil. Is there any credence to this? i don't know, but what would be the difference in riding a multi-mile on flat ground compared to riding up steep trails or even roads for extended periods?? same, right? or is it?? i don't know the bike's front end is still elevated, wheelie or uphill grade. what do ya think?

skwerlee Posted October 23, 2005 i know that guy,his name is Willie Ray... they filmed that back in 2003 when he was 18. He was riding a YZ250f down 635 south which is one of the biggest highways in The Dallas metroplex. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YZLEE Posted October 23, 2005 i don't know, but what would be the difference in riding a multi-mile on flat ground compared to riding up steep trails or even roads for extended periods?? same, right? or is it?? i don't know the bike's front end is still elevated, wheelie or uphill grade. what do ya think? That's why I want to know. I can't ride a wheelie like the guy in the vid, but I do lots of hillclimbing. Maybe I'm just worrying too much. I've never heard of it happening, but could it? Sorry about the hijack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Autospirit Posted October 23, 2005 The secret is.......you need cut-off sleeves to do a good wheelie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snow Posted October 23, 2005 I know on some of the steetbikes that if you do a wheelie like that the pickup tube will starve for oil sice they are shallow but I think the yz's are fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

saucebox Posted October 23, 2005 I've heard that if you ride a wheelie long enough you will starve the engine of oil. Is there any credence to this? not sure if it is on a dirtbike but my friend locked up his zx6 riding a really long wheelie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arel451 Posted October 23, 2005 I wonder why people think dirtbikers are a bunch of idiots and are closing our riding areas. Sorry guys as impressive as that was I found it totally irresponsible and a poor example to younger riders who will likely try to duplicate this stunt because buddy impressed them.

Sorry guys as impressive as that was I found it totally irresponsible and a poor example to younger riders who will likely try to duplicate this stunt because buddy impressed them. My .02 people arnt closing down riding areas cause of wheeling on the freeways!!! Its cause of these dumbass congressmen that have never rode a motorcycle before!!! 🤣 That wheelie was fu ing awesome!!! but i do agree with arel that was kinda irresponsible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
