5th gear wheelies damn ive come from second and shifted thru to 5th but never pulled it up in 5th, 5-20 kit is next on my list right after steering damper, oh and slippin the clutch think of it as gettin sum *** be easy with her and once you get it up, feel how she moves and the soundds she makes mmm... then speed it up and ride her till she gives out haha... its nice to see that im not the only one with the wheelie problem thanx for ur post

 

I too was addicted to wheelies once. Till I crashed my last bike. I just can't seem to get comfortable gettin my 600 up it seems like it doesn't have the roll on power I want. I am installing a power commander to aid my two bros exhaust. Any other suggestions on how I can get more low end bite so that I don't have to use my clutch. I was thinking of a sprocket change but Im not very knowledgeable in that area. Any help?

 

get a unicycle. then you can ride around all day on one wheel! seriously, you guys are nuts

 

actually, and this is the truth, I can ride a unicycle really well. forward, backward, bunny hop off of stuff, juggle. Go figure.

 

I do an occasional power wheelie, but I've seen too many "wheelie gone bad" videos and that goes through my head every time I think about doing one...this rr is one hard bike to wheelie on and it's balance point is much higher than I want to go...oh, and I don't think the fork seals on my duct taped old rr could handle many wheelies either...

 

For these power wheelies you all are doing. is this sitting or standing??

 

1st and 2nd, sit down. 3rd 4th and 5th stand up. no clutch. all throttle and balance

 

how much does the -1/+2 conversion cut down on top speed. I do a good amount of highway cruisin, and I'm not looking to kill my enginer prematurely. Am I looking at a top speed of 140s with the conversion, or can I atleast keep a nice 160 (indicated.)

edit: here is a link to another post that has the answer to my own question

still if anyone has any suggestions wether this is actually a good idea for someone who rides highways and country roads.

 

hahaha ok Fret Im sorry[sm=smiley31.gif]

 

I still drive highways all the time. No prob. Oh and so far my top speed is 146 with -1 +2, and i wasnt trying too hard considering i dont even remember when i hit that speed. it must have been on a high speed pass or something.
