Accellerate to rougly 60KM in first gear... then even out your accelleration.... let the bike settle for half a second and then CRANK IT OPEN in one go

How can you not wheelie anymore in 1st? If you are siting upright & slightly towards the back it should be doing a wheelie by 8-10k/rpm..

Gizmo thats a bit cruel, I have seen a heap of those vids where they stand on the rear pegs with one foot and just give the throttle a bit of a twist. :D

I have even seen the outtakes from the videos where they do that. :D

Cruise along in second at 120 kph and pull the clutch in and gas it up and release the clutch i am sure the result wil be spectaculer or buy a 10r or join a circus. :roll:

Mine has been know to get lift off over bumps mid corner or even on downhill runs in second and i am sure its been trying to lift off on the exit of turn 1 at Queensland raceway but i lean over the bars to hold it down and keep it flat.


I could get the front of a cbr250 up a bit by rolling at 25kph in first and revving it to 15000rpm and dropping the clutch but only did it a few times and changed bikes.
If I rode my bike at the speed of light, what would happen when I switched on its headlights?

Sell it to me cheap. I'll give you $2,500 :D cos like gizmo said, great for the track.

Invest the $2,500 in a new 10r

Check your "Chain Tension" & sprockets for wear. Also the Cuch drive can get loose from abuse & make it harder to "getuponone". Not that i condone such actions :roll:

why do you want to get it up.
Just a chance to bin it IMO.
No I am not pro wheelie, I think they are dangerous, I dont know how many stacks and vids of stacks I have seen due to wheelies.
Now accidental power wheelies is different. :twisted:

Be carefull dude.

i absolutly agree with you

but since we are riding powerful bikes, its good to know how to ride it under all situation, if i can control the bike like a pro then next time i have a accidental power wheelies then i won't panic, i will know how to handle it

it's like fast lean low cornering, it's an essential skills to survival , one day i might need that skill to survive in an accident

but it's also good to know some tricks.................

now the good news is, on my way back home tonite from work

i tried it again in 1st gear and sit uprite and i got it EVERYTIME!!!!

i'm so happy now

will try to maintain it next time

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

wowo i'm re born again!!!!
