I've tried time and time again to get this thing to come up but to no avail. I haven't tried since I got my new chain and sprocket a couple months ago. I went +2 on the rear so I'm assuming this has helped. Anyways, I was leaving workand in first gear. Not sure what rpms I was at, but I'm guessing @ 8k from the sound. I blipped the throttle and when the front forks compressed I cranked it and it came right up! I was so excited LOL!!!! I only did it that one time. I still don't think it will come up in 2nd though. Oh well I don't need to be doing that **** anyways, hehehehe!

 

should the f3's not be able to power wheelie with stock gearing? mine has stock gearing and it'll get up in first hard and get super light in second with stock gearing? maybe it's not as stock as i had thought :]

 

I can get my stock F3 up in third... I don't do power wheelies, either.

 

I don't know, but mine wouldn't come up for **** when I had my stockers on. Not even in first gear, which surprised me. And I don't like to clutch it, too much to chance with that.

 

yeh, i'm scared to clutch mine, too. i've seen too many videos of guys overdoing it and destroying their bikes. not for me. haha

 

One of my good buddies looped his bike right in front of me while clutching. I haven't done it since. I just figure if it won't come up with the throttle then it's not meant for me to wheelie this bike. I can wait till my next bike to be a stunta lol.

 

well, i guess if you do end up clutching it on this one, you'll wreck it and have your 'stunta' ha. then it'll look like mine >D

 

Mine comes up in 2nd pretty easy.

 

I brought the front end up couple months ago when hitting the freeway. I was coming off the GW Parkway on a clover leaf like interchange onto 395. The on ramp is literally only like 20 feet long. I saw a hole in traffic as I was going through the curve. I dropped down a couple gears and right as the bike was leveling out, I was up on one wheel merging with traffic. I had to put the front end back down because I was catching up with traffic too quickly. There was a van that passed by and a couple of kids were in the back giving me two thumbs up . The one thing about using the clutch is it SOOOOOO rough on the clutch.

 

That would be sweet! Consider yourself lucky.
