One of the best skills you can learn when riding a pit bike is popping a wheelie. Its pretty much the most tried trick newbie riders want to learn when first buying a Pit bike.

The principle and strategy once understood for popping a wheelie is quite easy just the implementation stage is the most challenging but I'll give you some quick tips which will make you a expert in no time.

5 Fast Tips to Popping a wheelie

Don't be scared to fall off Sounds obvious but no pain no gain. Your not going to get seriously hurt maybe a few bumps and bruisers but its all part of it. You need understand that if you are scared you will never master this trick because its inevitable you will come off. Wear the proper protective clothing like pants, helmet, pads, boots.

Balancing is the key When you start off I recommend you use second gear for the main duration of the wheelie. After you move from first to second gear lean back putting you body weight towards the rear of the seat. Your bottom should be almost to the end of the seat so you center of gravity is over halfway. You must lean back enough so the front wheel is greater that 45 degrees.

Using Your foot brakes to balance Keep leaning back and slowly increasing the throttle. You are trying to find the balance point of the bike. If you find your going to back flip don't worry a easy way to combat this is to either put your feet down and let go of the bike or tap on the rear foot brake and it will lower the front wheel. If the bike falls don't worry it won't break just maybe a few scratches. Another way is to drag you feet on the ground as you initiate the wheelie. This is kind of cheating but its a good way to learn. When you can balance then put your feet on the pegs.

Holding your revs in the Wheelie to keep momentum If you don't keep the revs up the front wheel will drop down because you lost momentum and speed. You can correct this by changing up a gear to third but this is a little more advanced and you must master the balancing first before attempting this stage.

Holding the wheelie for a extending time with Gears changers Changing gears keeps your revs up but additional skill is need because your on the back wheel while changing gears. Again this is similar to "Keeping your momentum" and for the more advanced rider. You can wheelie for miles if you change gears. I know riders who can wheelie for 3-4 miles on a Pit bike. Yes amazing I must admit.

Super little trick for newbie riders: If you want to pop wheelies for miles then use this trick. Well its not really a trick more like a modification to your bike. Keep the revs up to max and don't be scared to use your foot brake allot. What we are going to do is attach a front mounted brake on the handle bars for the rear. Because your the foot brake is only small on pit bikes its harder find sometimes. Your feet will slip during riding so when you need to use the foot brake to prevent back flipping your foot could slip. Take off the foot brake assembly pedal all together so there is no foot back pedal. Remove the existing hydraulic cable and buy a longer one similar to the length of your front brakes but it must reach from the rear brake assembly to your front handle bars. You need to buy a front brake housing assembly for the left hand side. You can source them off eBay very cheaply $20-$30. It must be the left hand side because obviously the right hand side is needed for the throttle. A Py90 or Quad assembly will do the trick. Make sure it matches the bolt diameter of the hydraulic brake line so will match the both brake housings. Bleed the brakes so it works. Now you have front mounted Rear brakes. Wheelie at you hearts on content and when you feel your going to back flip tap on the left hand brake and your front wheel will immediately come down (make sure all the parts are properly fitted by a qualified mechanic)

Beware: Four tell-tale signs of auto brake problems

You might have given it much thought, but brakes are one of the most important parts of you car that have to be in tip-top shape. That’s why you should always be able to identify the different signs that tell you that something’s wrong with your car brakes.

Here are four tell-tale signs that should serve as warning and mean that a trip to the auto car repair center should be in order:

There’s noticeable fading or reduced responsiveness. One thing you might notice is that the brakes may not be as responsive as they were once or that the pedal tends to “sink” towards the floor. This is most of the time caused by an air leak or break fluid leak in the brake hose. Observer your car while it is parked and look for any indicators such as puddle of fluid. Brake fluids are like fresh motor oil, only a little less slimy.

Vibration. Vibrating or pulsating brake pedals are often a fire-hit indication of warped rotors or vehicle out of alignment. Vibration may be felt similar to the feedback experienced in the brake pedal while a panic stop, in vehicles with anti-lock brakes.

It maybe the cause of warped rotors if vibration occurs in brake situations, when the anti-lock brakes aren’t connected. Warped rotors develop due to excessive braking for long periods of time, just like when you’re towing or driving down a mountain. Too much friction heats up the rotors in these situations, which then in turn cause them to warp. Vibration happens due to the brake pads failure to grab the surface evenly.

Do you hear some growling and grinding? If you do, then that means the pads have been worn out and maybe beyond replacement. The growling and grinding sounds are produced because the disc and the calliper, two metal pieces, are rubbed together. This scratches your rotors and creates an uneven surface. In this situation, your mechanic might even encourage the replacement of your rotors, if they could not be turned.

Pulling. Pulling happens when you feel that your car “pulls” to one side while braking. This maybe because of foreign matter that has found its way into your brake fluid, or due to uneven brake linings. Should this happen, your vehicle might just require a brake adjustment or your mechanic might suggest that your brake fluid be drained and replaced.

how to disconnect third brake light?

I recently installed a spoiler on my '05 Toyota Corolla and it has an LED brake light. When I brake, both the third brake light from behind the seats and the LED light from the spoiler turn on. I only want the spoiler's to turn on because it looks weird. Is there any way I can disconnect it or remove a fuse so only the spoiler's LED brake light can turn on?
Ok how can I take the bulb out?

in your trunk up by the third brake light you should find the wire and plug that goes to it. there should also be a plug all you have to do is unplug it. To take the bulb out you must take the back panel out of the cack window and open up the third brake light. Then you take the bulb out, but you'll be leaving and open socket which can collect dust and stuff and short your brake lights out.
