nah no offense at all...everyone is entitled to their own opinion. For me, I can feel the vibration of the motor so I can tell when its the peak point to do the wheelie. Whenever I am riding, I am always aware of my surroundings. I never look at an object or a place for more than 1.5 seconds. Being more aware can prevent you from a surprise.

As for the wheelies, I can only do it for 3 seconds now but not using the clutch...just first gear...I will have to find a place to practice using the clutch to do the wheelie at 15 mph. When my 520 conversion arrives, hopefully that will change and help me do the wheelie easier.

I had one bad landing today...god it hurt my ***** so bad because I had the sunpass in my pants and when I landed...i came hittin the gas tank and nearly lost my breath.

Since when is a stoppie considered a wheelie. Yeah sure there may be a balance point with a stoppie. But now we're comparing apples to oranges. [:-]

 

Well just cover you nose and sneeze..that should dislodge your ***** from your throat..[:-]

 

hey guys, I was just wondering at what RPM would you recommend popping the clutch at and at what speed. Ive done a few accelerating wheelies out of 1st but nothing long. I want to try clutch wheelies, without bustin my a$$...if you know what i mean. thanks

all i have to say is careful guys, we dont want to lose any members.

 

Hey guys, if possible I would recomend NOT using the clutch for wheelies, even though it is much easier and faster to lift the front wheel, it puts a lot of strain on the clutch plates and your clutch will wear out earlier than normal. I used the clutch alot on my last bike, a CBR 600 F3, and it started slipping when it got warm. Please be careful and always, always respect the bike.

 

try gasing it to the shift point of 2nd pop the clutch and yank up if u do it just right it should stand up going in to 2nd. thats how i get my longetst wheelies.

Could you elaborate on that a bit???

 

WHAT I MEAN IS GUN IT TO THE TOP OF FIRST GEAR, LET OFF FOR A QUICK SEC. AS U SHIFT PUNCH IT AND POP THE CLUCTH OUT FAST , MY F4 STANDS UP THAT WAY. ITS A LITTLW HARD BUT I WOULD THINK A F41 WOULD NO PROB. AND TRY SITTING TOWARDS THE BACK OF THE BIKE.
