Getting that front end up even a few inches will make crossing a log on the trail so much easier.

Attempting such a feat on a china bike does come with certain risk though better do a thorough checkup first.

Thank you very much. I also subscribed to your channel. I'm just starting to learn. It's addicting to say the least lol. Wheelies aren't for everyone. Young and dumb kinda thing! Appreciate the positive comments. I'll be looking out for some videos from you in the future.

Just food for thought. I don't know how these engines circulate the oil but on some streetbikes it is possible to cause damage by doing long wheelies as it starves parts of the engine from getting lubed. I'm sure someone will come shortly and nix my comment but if not...

I second this! Wheeling these bikes definitely is not as easy as bringing the front when up on a drz400 so we could definitely benefit by you telling us how you seem to get wheelies up with these chinese 250s. Want to work on them soon!

I will be ordering a go pro tomorrow to strap on my helmet. Then i will make a detailed video with commentary. I appreciate the feed back. It's definitely more of a chore getting it up with the weight /hp difference. Also Savage that gearing should pop up better then the 17f 47r on the Brozz. Or at least that's what my time spent on this site is telling me. Check out Attentiondeficit he shifts all the way up to 3rd while riding it out. He mastered the rear brake, which from my last video you can see i haven't. I feel like I'm gonna blow it up riding that 1st gear out. I will learn with more practice how to shift while mid air. If my baby makes it. I'm eager to keep pushing the limits as i progress.

you can kind of bounce it up off the front fork, if you look close, i sort of preload the forks, then crack the throttle open, granted that was with really low gearing from the ninja 250 wheel swap before i got a smaller rear sprocket (i think it was a 13-46 combo in #50 chain if i remember right, so a 3.53:1 ratio for the final, now i have 13-38)

Will having inverted forks make it harder?
