I don't have any dramas with the tacho, you have the shift light & you know that the black bars should be close to vertical if your in the right gear so it's all good....

But DR Stereo don't you know everything about everything?
Something as simple as throttle control @ 180kph on the back wheel should be nothing to the man who knows all!
You can explain Teflon but can't do wheelies?
What's going on?

180k wheelies ???
Arent you pair getting ZX6R and ZX12R mixed up

Watch the brackets and steering head bearings guys

Oddly enough this is one function on a motorcycle that I consider myself to be really crap at!! I reckon I am the worlds 2nd worst wheelstander. I reckon there must be at leaast one other out there somewhere that's worse,....I just havn't met them yet!!!!

However having said all that the old Hornet has been an encouragement to practicing wheelies, all be it little ones

I'm with Stereo on this one. I am a gas it up no clutch wheelie guy! As I have only just started doing this due to the fact that the Hornet encourages that sort of behaviour, I am just rolling it on in first backing it off and cracking it open again to lift the front. That gets me up high enough to click second and have a controlled slow fall back to earth with almost butterfly wings on landing the front again.

Soon I am gunna try getting it a tad higher and holding it in 2nd on the balance point. Now that i have fucked the ducktail I am less worried about damaging it

Pssst! that other person is me...... bloody hopeless, only time I ever dropped a wheelie was powering my old RD250 up hill with a loaded kitbag of the arse of it. You could here my arsehole snap shut over the sound of the 2stroke

180kph wheelies are not a problem on a 03 onwards 636 I assure you.....
I can clutch up a 5th gear stand up with minimal fuel @ 160kph....

heres a couple i had a mate take today of some wheelehs
