What Engine Displacement is Needed for a Motorcycle Wheelie?
1 Answers
There is no specific requirement for engine displacement when performing a motorcycle wheelie. Here are the details: 1. Below 600cc: For motorcycles under 600cc, performing a wheelie requires popping the clutch while stationary. For 600cc sport bikes, the front wheel will lift off the ground by itself when giving full throttle in first or second gear while the bike is moving. 2. 1000cc+: For motorcycles with 1000cc or more, the front wheel will lift off the ground when giving full throttle in third or fourth gear. Below is additional information on motorcycle wheelie techniques: 1. Method one: Lift the front wheel after the bike starts moving, practice while stationary. First, keep both feet on the ground, engage first gear, rev the throttle with the right hand while popping the clutch with the left hand, and simultaneously pull the handlebars upward with both hands. At this point, push off the ground with both feet, adopting a posture that lifts the bike upward, and the front wheel will easily leave the ground. 2. Method two: After starting the bike, while moving slowly, pull the clutch, rev the throttle, and quickly release the clutch to utilize the strong torque of first or second gear to lift the front wheel.
