This trick can be done on power or on the clutch. Start by bouncing the Yamaha a little, helping to preload the front suspension. Stand up, give it a little gas, and pull up on the handlebars. The force of the fork releasing and the throttle input will elevate, or "pop," the front wheel. Use your body weight and leverage to keep the bike balanced.
The can-can begins the same way as the stand-up, but when the front wheel is popped, quickly swing the right leg over between the tank and the left leg. Maintain balance by shifting your shoulders toward the right side of the bike, and maintain a steady speed so as not to lose control. Ease up on the gas or gently press the rear brake if you find yourself losing control when performing this trick.
A stoppie involves balancing the body over the center of the bike while tilting it forward on the front wheel. The key is centering your weight while maintaining your head straight, shoulders square, and arms rigid. To perform a stoppie, pull the clutch, depress the brake to about 80 percent of full braking pressure , then ease up as the bike comes up. Shift your weight forward to maintain balance, and keep your upper body straight. Don't worry about steering while doing a basic stoppie; just keep the bike moving straight.
