1st or 2nd gear, roll throttle on till you are almost on the redline, shut throttle quickly and roll it all the way open smothly but quickly. front should come up nice and slow for ya. Failing that, there are 1500000000000000 threads on this site bout how to pull a wheelie, go find them.

The Birds not the easiest bike in the world to wheelie, particularly without using the clutch, due to its long wheel base.

However, off the throttle, in 1st - if you roll on the gas slowly, up to around 6 thou RPM, then open the throttle big time the front should come up, but you'll need to be quick into second as the front will begin falling again quite quickly. Alledgedly.

Good luck.

Andries!!!! Glad to see you took the advice and made it along to the website.
Did you get any good rides in over the weekend?

I had a good one today, you would have enjoyed it! I rode with a mate on a GSX250 and rode the bays in Wgtn and then around Eastbourne.

We'll be riding one or two evenings this week so I'll PM you on the site, to let you know when.
