Yeah and 600's aren't exactly torque monsters like liter bikes, so they need a little bit of encouragement. If you wanna power wheelie buy a Fireblade.

Stock F4i's are around 96 RWHP http://www.mcnews.com/mcn/articles/2010JanIndex.pdf

A slip-on with Dyno tune might add 1 maybe 2 HP. It more or less just smooths out the power curve mor ethan anything.

If you really want to know, see if you can get ahold of the PO and see where he got it done as they should have records still.

No offence but the guy was most likely BSing you.

Either way the F4i is still a beast, Just keep practicing and you will get it down (Even though you should just stick with clutch-ups as they are better in almost every way )

I wouldn't get rid of that bike because it won't wheelie you just need time to learn. The F4/F4i rides the best wheelie I've ever experienced. And a 636 or liter bike isn't going to cure your problem, only experience can. Don't be afraid to get familiar with the clutch, there cheap and easy to replace.

If you can't power wheelie an F4i, you really REALLY don't wanna jump to a liter. This is definitely one of those things you NEED to learn on a smaller bike.

Most liters can easily blow past balance point. Or break loose the rear hard and fast. I'm no stunter and never practiced power wheelies. Only Yolie's traction control keeps me from looping her if I rip the throttle. Cause I never learned the skill and quite honestly I'm too busy keeping the power under control to try to control the power while up on one.

And I'm too chicken
