The reason I bought my 900 is because people told me its a wheelie machine. I grew up around dirt bike so wheelie were a piece of cake. Being out of the bike seene for 15 year two years ago I got the nag to by a bike again and bought my first street bike which is a Katana 750. I love the stunt seene but I just can't balance this heavy bike. I can lift it easy but I just can't balance it. Thats why I bought my 900 to tinker with. It started as a stunt bike but I realy liked it more then my Kat and I got carried away with building it and making it look good. Now that I'm almost through with it I,m afraid to wreck it.Is it really a wheelie machine. Has anybody ever tryed wheelieing a Katana and had the same problem ,or is it me. Any advice will Help. Johnny

 

any bike will wheelie, and some are easier than others. The 900RR was the big stunt bike for a while, everybody rode one, and everything has been done on one...

 

Lose sum air Pressure in your rear tire(Katana)it will help it track str8er.I wheelie ok with my 89 FZR 1000,And cant weight to try my 929

 

Thank for the info guys. I guess I'll just have to wait and see when my 900 is done. Mabe I just need alittle more cajonesa and take a chance. I've hit a wild hog at 90 miles per hour and Thank God only hurt my ancle; mabe just a small spill if I go back to far.

 

i like mine!

 

hehehe never seen a can of tuna.. ermm katana on a wheelie, but not alot of people drive them around here i guess... actually.. i've only seen 1 in the last year and it was parked lol

 

i saw a guy do a stand up for about 1/4 mile. he did it like it was nothing. so maybe you just need some time.

 

my buddy used to have an old shaft drive suzuki i think it was a katana but not sure. It wheelied but felt terrible

 

Thanks for the input guys but guess what happen this morning. I've got two jobs to make ends meet if you know what I mean, and this mornig my boss was'nt around when I was rounding out cattle in the four wheeler and I never tryed to wheelie it because its an automatic (Polaris), but this morning I tryed it. The first time I fell on my *** but after that fear was gone I found the balance point and I was having all kinds of fun. I even started to wheelie standing on the seat. Now lets hope I can do this on the motorcycle. Thanks Johnny

 

ive wheelied harley sportsters so you should be able to wheelie that thing
