what gearing should i go with for easy 55 mph wheelies

 

-1 in front

150 tooth rear :-P

down one and a second gear wheelie will be just fine. Be safe

(Not responsible for dumb **** to follow)

 

OR.........you could leave it stock. I've worked them up with just a blip in 2nd but you have to tug pretty damn hard to get it up.....clutch works EASY in 2nd at 55 or you could stand up and bounce it up. Either way......stock will work fine but he's right -1 up front will make it easier.

 

ok i have been playin around with the throttle blip and tug at 55 i have gotten it up a couple times but
still not with the cofidence i want i need more seat time i guess
i have come to a conclusion : the bike has the power and ability but the rider doesnt (yet)

 

Also consider... thongs, toothbrush and soap on a rope, for those short stays!!!!!

Its all technique man, like eater pointed out, it can totally be done on a stock bike with stock gearing. Its gonna take some time, trust me it took me a while to get them down. And by a while, I mean I attempted them accelerating out of every stop light I came to for a couple months. Best advice I can give is just give that time down so as soon as the front forks are compressed, you give it the gas so the bike powers up right when the front suspension is on the rebound and bringing you sky high. Good luck and dont freakin12 the damn thing!! :-)

 

ok ive been working on it can carry the front long enough the front tire sqeals when it comes down
still isnt very smooth and im still not getting the balance point so i can maintain speed but im tryin
at 40 years old i dont need to end up ont he ground so ill proceed carefully as possible lol
man i really love this bike

 

Stand ups man.........WAY easier to hold the balance point. I never really got it down on my 900 for some reason. It just didnt feel right to me at the time, but my 1000 LOVES stand ups. If you are running out of RPM, shift.............and continue on your merry way. that's not going to get you to balance, but it will let you carry it farther if you want. Good luck.

 

longer faster harder is always better
wait i think thats what the wife says lol

 

hey i found the balance point the engine got real quiet then i found a little more thats when i sh%^ myself
and found the rear brake sat it down a little quick stopped and shook myself lol
whew that was interesting
(note to self practice more at lower speeds)
