I don't know how many people on this forum are into doing stunts....but I am....Okay...Read below on what I have to my bike......I can gas it up in 2nd doing a stand up....But when I sit on the tank I can't gas it up because of the weight shift.....Just wondering if any one has done a tank wheelie in 2nd and knows what rpm's to let the clutch out @....I know I should just start low and keep increasing rpm's until I find it, but being in ND I almost have to wait to spring to try it again.......

 

What you need is a huge rear sprocket! Anywhere from a 55 to a 60 tooth. If you can post some pics of your standups!

 

Try Sprocket Specialist..they manufacture all sorts of sprockets for all kinds of bikes...1-800-782-8200 www.motorcyclesprockets.com

 

I don't know what size sprocket is on my bike, but BOTH sprockets are changed, and I am talking about a tank wheelie (sitting on the tank).....Standees are easy.

 

stand ups may be easy, but i think that is what he wanted you to post pictures of.

if you can't do the tank wheelies yet, we don't want to see any pictures of you not doing one.

 

Well with your gearing changed, I dont know what RPM you should be at since it isnt stock. When I had a F2 with stock gearing the wheelies I would start would be in 2nd gear and around 7,000 rpm.
I have never done tank wheelies but you will have to smack it alot harder to lift the extra weight..and if you are sitting on the tank ( I presume with your feet over the windshield) you wont be able to see the tach.
Also I am sure a super sticky rear tire ( like a Race Take off) will help immensely since it will grab better

 

i don't have the ***** to pull anything other than 1st gear wheelies. i'm afraid of launching one with the clutch in second.

oh well....... chicken i guess. [sm=sigh.gif]

 

well i have an 1100 byrd i can power it as far as a 600 im not sure try to feel were the band is and start just belowe that and remember the type of pavement might suprise you so be ready

 

Man I hope you have that f2 geared alot. I can't get my F4i up in 2nd sitting on the tank (spreader) with my gearing (-1 up front only) I have tried it off of the limiter with no luck, but I'm kinda slipping the clutch and not dropping it. The way my lever is now I have trouble dropping it sitting on the tank. I'm ordering a MSR easy pull in a few weeks so mabye that will help. Also do you have your tank dented? Mine isn't yet, but if it is dented it will make it alot easier
