well ive been trying out wheelies, poppin em up in first and since im not trying to shift to second, and ride it all the way up close to the redline, it sets down pretty hard, so im thinking its causing a slight vibration in the bars, forks, etc.... think its a bolt or something coming loose, has anybody else had this problem, i think i need to go through the whole bike and tighten all the bolts, thanks

 

and who said wheelies arent bad for bikes?

definately check everything out. It could be many different things, bent rim, loose axle, neck bearings, maybe even busted fork seals, twisted forks, etc.

 

Wow makes me wanna start poppin wheelies....

 

I highly doubt that a bolt came loose. You probably either bent a fork, bent the wheel (which would cause vibrations the faster you go), knocked the front out of alignment, etc. etc.

I'm willing to put money on the bent wheel (or just slightly bent to the point where the wheel is out-of-round). You should be able to take it down and have them re-balance the front wheel. They'll either weight-balance it up to snuff and fix the problem you'll know something else is wrong.

Either way, as you probably already know, bikes aren't built for stunting.........and the result is usually broken parts or broken bones.

 

You may want to check to make sure your wheel bearings are still turning smooth.

Try practicing shifting to 2nd while you have it up for smoother landing or work on the balance point more.

As always, PLEASE don't stunt in traffic!

 

x2 on the bent rim man arent wheelies cool
