new sprockets will run you about $15--25 front, $40-60 rear...approx. shop labor?...maybe an hour tops...$60-70

I also agree that while wheelies are cool, there can be a nasty downside...I've seen it happen, luckily not to me.

Perssonally, not a big fan of 'clutch' wheelies...clutches ain't cheap

be safe

peace

if your worried about droppin it go by a stunt bike..or as we call them a stunt *****.....you can get a bike with a 12 o clock bar and crash cage for round 3 grand...you ll spend more than that on your bike fixin it.......dave just my 2 cents..

Hey man, If your a newbie to wheelies then my advice to you is to TAKE it easy! Start off with small wheelies(pop ups) and work your way up. You NEED to get the feel of the bike up in the air before you go to clutch wheelies. A 954 will come up easy. Try it until you get comfortable, once you are, give clutch wheelies a go! I remember the first time I tried clutch wheelies, it scared the **** outta me, but it gets easier.....
Just take your time........and dont be stupid.......

In my opinion you should fill the compartment under the passengers seat with rocks or anything heavy to help weight down the rear of the bike.[sm=alcoholic.gif] Take a swig of liquid courage before attempting the next part, it can get a little harry[sm=alcoholic.gif]. Rev to approximately 9000rpms, lean back as far as possible, dump the clutch and twist the accelerator to its farthest point. Dont forget to use to the back brake for balance. Trust me on this one. I go through about 1000lbs. of rocks a year. It is best to try this technique in front of as many people as possible so you can impress them as you earn your stripes. They will be cheering for you like these guys. GOOD LUCK.
