HELLO ALL

I HAVE HAD MY 01 929 FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS KNOW AND AM TRYING LEARN HOW TO DO A THROTTLE WHEELIE. THE BIKE RUNS EXCELENT. I HAVE NAILED THE GAS OF THE LINE AS HARD AS POSSIBLE AND DONE A 8000 RPM ROLLING THROTTLE MASH AND HAVE NOT MANGED TO GET THE TIRE OF THE GROUND. WHATS THE SECRET?

 

all i do when in first using the throttle:

get to about 40-50 mph let off really qick then gun it until the front end comes up. if you gun it to much it will come up real fast and may be scary at first so be careull kep your foot close to the rear brake in case it goes up to fast. it will take some time to know the sweet spot in yout throttle to keep the front end up.

people say that throttle wheeles are more dangerous.you have more control if you use the clutch methiod.

THANKS FOR THE HELP. THAT WEBSITE IS VERY USEFUL.

 

Also make sure you butt is back on the seat, body stiff and preload the suspension by bouncing. Timing is everything. I can get my 600RR up in second with chop / bounce.

 

Or just a change the rear sproket, like my previous owner did. I don't even need to gun it all the way and the front wheel comes up.

 

i do not think that there are any bikes that you have to "gun it all the way" to get the front wheel off of the ground

 

I roll about 45mph in second gear , chopp off the throttle slightly , and quickly nail it . Wheeeeeeee Up we go .

Now with my one down front sprocket ( which I love ) I roll about 35 in second , chopp off , then nail ........The rest is in the balance.

Be sure to cover you back brake , and NEVER pull in the clutch if you get it up to tall or fast , Just chopp off the throttle and hit the back brakes.

Practice on a fiffty or a smaller bike .......HELPS ALOT

 

should be able to power wheelie it easy, although using the clutch is better way.

 

Be careful bouncin it up because you dont want to bust your fork seals. Trust me

 

Clutch it, clutch it, clutch it. It's so much easier. once you get used to clutching it up you'll never go back to cracking the throttle to bring the front end north. Nate.
