i have a 16/ 43 setup ...and when it comes up in second gear at 50 mph to a 11 o'clock position you want to make sure you keep your foot ready on the back brake ..(sitting down)...then gas it till you feel like it wants to fall back and stick the gas in that position let it roll ..if it starts to fall back ..get off the throttle a wee bit ..& if it starts to come down .give it a little more gas.....
when that front wheel comes off the ground about a foot ,the busa feels like an over powered bike on steroids....
..try to ride out your second gear out before you go into long wheelies....when i pop it up in 2nd gear @ 50 mph ...about 7000 rpms & start to chase the front wheel ...and when i put her down i am doing about 100 mph ...As soon as you come down double shift to 4th or 5th gear to continue normal riding..that helps for smoother deceleration ...
Be very careful ...use all the protection you have & have someone with a cellphone with you at all times ...

ummm casue they look kool
Why?.......why not?
cause it's fun!
I'm not a big long wheelie kinda guy, but first and second gear wheelies just make me smile!
This bike has so much torque, I can't help myself!
yeppers....yer busa's balance point is damn near 12 '0 clock. I'd say around 11 or 11:30-ish. It's waaay up there.
It's gonna take a lotta skill to ride out a long one....stay safe.

Just curious. I kinda like both wheels on the ground.
Understood........
I'm with you, but hey, it's a free country (or supposed to be). Live and let live. Watch out for the fuzz...
agreed!
They tend to take a dim view of one wheel riding.
I don't typically wheelie anywhere around traffic. Just not too smart.
In theory anything can wheelie forever. I have always pulled wheelies on my bikes but the busa isn't getting walked very far as long as I have it. It's a go fast in a straight line bike - not a starboyz bike. I give it gas sometimes and get the front tire in the air a couple of feet but never try to push it.
I have wheelied a lot of bikes in my life and you get good at it but TRUST ME if you are going to wheelie a bike you will eventually go over. It will happen. You get cocky and find that balance point and then try to push it a little more and a little more then before you know it you are listening to your tail light kissing the pavement and the rest is history.
