Wheelie Pics

Busahigg,  

Merciless god of wheelies, You will be proud to know I pulled my first, first gear wheelie a few days ago. I went up to about 5500 rpm's dropped it to 4500 and punched it.  It worked like magic,  I'm not sure how high it felt like about 2 feet but it probably was about 6 inches.

Have you guys noticed this : Some of the surfaces I cruise on are more condusive to, I guess, the rear tire bite? Certain places I cruise and whack the throttle, the front comes right up. Other places I get more tire spin and less lift ... I know where the good spots are... anybody else notice this

??

Hawaii: I absolutely noticed the same thing. In fact, I also noticed that the colder it is outside, the easier it is to get it up (opposite of what I thought...

).

Anyone else find it easier to get up with colder air? Not sure if it is more tire hookup or more motor power (I am leaning towards more power)....

 

[busahigg]

It's the natural cold air intake thing........same principle as putting cold air intake on a car.

I just can't get it up for a stoppie.....I need some Brembo's.

I guess it just feels like it's too hard on the bike for me........very heavy bike to be yanking the a$$ end up on. Just not hitting it hard enough huh?

hey Higg, are your neigbors annoyed with you yet for runnin up and down your street hittin poppies?

 

[busahigg]

Nah.......we all get along great.......most of my neighbors are older than me too......some much older........they thought it was cool..........plus I've only done that in the neighborhood that one time.........my street is way too short to get it up good..........

Just get to about 30, pull the clutch in and "hump the tank"

I like to kinda "flick" the brake lever real quick to compress the forks some (you can probably do it without the flick) and then just steadily add pressure, if your front wheel skids you've pulled the brake too hard, too fast. Find a parkinglot in the sun someplace and do 'em there. Gotta have warm street, warm brakes and warm tires. Note: they almost never work at an intersection FYI

VERY IMPORTANT!!!
PULL IN CLUTCH,
LOCK YOUR ARMS,
LOOK IN THE DIRECTION YOU ARE GOING,
LET GO OF BRAKE LEVER IF YOU SKID!!!!


Hope this helps and be careful, luckily its just like wheelies, the balance point is WAY up there.
