Power Wheelies ---> Guessing not an option on an f2 :)

I'm not sure where you're seeing all these people that cant... it seems that 2 people can't and pretty much everyone else can...
Would you say your bike runs well? Do you keep up on maintenance on it? Does it have any hesitation or running issues?

I have an F3 and can power it up fine, though I rarely do.

That was posted early on, when most the people who spoke up and owned a CBR were voting against powering up.
Road my bike today, although I took it easy since I've been off the bike for three weeks or so, and it's almsot freezing here and very well could have been freezing. Bike seemed fine power wise, although I didn't really get to go WOT anywhere since the situation just didn't allow for it. I couldn't really rally at all since I'm in the city.
Anyways, come the season I'll be out on some more wide open roads and I'll give it a go!

So I've had a few less than ideal opportunities to try it. Slow up to 7k, wide open throttle from there to redline. Not even an inkling of lift on the front end. I'm scooted back all the way and off the seat an inkling. For being two teeth up in the rear I'm surprised it's not going up at all!

Oh well. I gave it my all. I'm guessing rebuilding the engine just may not be worth it either. The damn thing still rallies, significantly so over my ex-500. I like the feel of it as well.
I suppose at around 30k miles I should have expected this. It could also be the aftermarket exhaust and K+N filter. I highly doubt this bike was rejetted.

I bought my f2 off of the origional owner who 12 oclocked it in first doin a power up and wrecked. my bike has factory gearing and a vance and hines pipe, no major power adders and has been jetted properly. My bike does only have 14,000 miles on it and it was an origional smokin joe racing model. I don't know how much of a diff. the sjr is but the mileage is a big factor and the proper jetting. Last season i could personally power into a wheelie in 2nd. 1st gear has alway broke loose on me but i do need a rear tire bad. 3rd can't get anything unless you clutch it then i only get a foot or two
