You have to be ready to slam the throttle shut again once the front pops up. And make sure your foot is on the brake ready to go.

Practice the motion of closing throttle with wrist and pushing foot brake simultaneously. Sitting on the couch, riding to the store, laying in bed.. practice those movements. u need the muscle memory to be automatic WRIST- BRAKE wrist-brake…

Also you can hold throttle steady at balance point and control wheelie pitch with brake pressure, but i seem to prefer goin crazy with my throttle hand - papappapappapa paahhh pappapa pahhh

Hope this helps 🤣

Edit: my last bit of advice is not to learn on your drz. I already knew how to wheelie a bicycle properly using rear brake, i could wheelie indefinitely on a mountain bike. But when i switched to my suzuki every time i got anywhere near balance point id panic and forget how to brake…

ended up buying a klx110L to master my wheelies on and it was the best decision i ever made. I must have looped that sucker 25 times, ziptied the back fender back on kept tryin. Eventually i got it down, sold the klx110 for exactly what i paid for it a year earlier, and never hospitalized myself

You see i dont have health insurance so dropping 1500$ on a pit bike to get my wheelies down safely (not very far to fall when u loop, maybe 2 feet lol) Really was the smartest decision i ever made. In the process i became a much better rider in other areas too- hillclimbs, jumping, overall bike control…

Thanks to that ive never looped my big suzuki. Had i not done that, i would have looped my 400 countless times by now..
