    Yep, there'll most likely be a ride this Tuesday. I will have the 400 ready to thrash I hope, so I can do some myself without making as much noise. The gixxer is pretty fuckin loud at full song.

    But the other thing is, the fuel tank is higher than the rear axle, so when you gas it, that weight is doing just as much to help lift, as it is to hold it down.

    To put it another way, when you do a wheelie, the basic princaple is that the bike cant accelerate as fast as the wheel can, so said wheel, tries to overtake the bike, by going underneeth. The extra gas puts more weight, (drag) above that wheel, making it a more substantial lump to accelerate.
    I see what your saying but I know for a fact that my gsxr is a hell of a lot more inclined to powerstand over crests accidently when your on the gas in third with an empty tank than a full one (should that be a nearly empty one is doesn't go so well when its empty).
