Wheelies the last Chapter??

Keeping your chain properly tensioned makes them more consistent and controllable. Not that my wheelie ability is anything to write home about... but something I've noticed

Brookln hill is good for doing wheelies up, you allready hae a bit of slope so you dont have to use so much throttle to find balance point and the landing is smoother. Alot of stunt riders have a kinda plate like a VERY heavy license plate that hits the ground when the bike goes just over the balance point, slowing the bike down and helping avoid it looping.

howdy.. :spudwave:
hell yeah, I'm going to puke on the 26th, also Taupo on April 10..
I think the rest of the guys on the track might get a bit pissed if you keep slowing down to do wheelies on the track tho, so can't see how that'd help, but all the same, it's fukin good..
The road we did tonight Swanny, we should have just spent half an hour going from one end to the other.. hell, I could do with the practice (and a new back tyre)..

The "VERY heavy license plate" is actually an extension of the Sub-Frame which they call a 12 O'clock bar. Sounds kinda lame... the could have called it a Suicide Bar or something tough like that

It's called a 12 bar cos the bike is pointing straight up when it hits the ground - ie 12 o'clock..
I'll PM you guys - Swanman etc with my cell num, cos I wanna go out for a (stunt) ride with some other people - it kinda sux goin by yourself.

Can he do them on a GSXR250? :-)
Can anyone?!

Ive tried lots of combinations on my pussy little bike but short of popping the clutch at 17000, nothing seems to work. Dont think its quite the right sorta bike for it ay! :-)

My mate tried to do some on my other mate's GSXR250 just to see if it could. Didn't come up the first time but he did a near 12 wheelie on his second try. It wasn't a fluke either cause this dude can wheelie almost anything.

You'r right though, it's not the best bike for wheelies.

**bugjuice** · 11th March 2005, 14:31

in theory, can't you wheelie almost anything?

Groomer, try movin your arse to the back of the seat, or further back at least, to shift the centre of gravity back, and let the clutch out a bit quicker each time.. how knackered is your clutch..?

I've seen a lot of wheelies, anything from a 50cc moped scoota, to a Goldwing once.. fairly sure it was..

**GROOMER** · 11th March 2005, 14:57

clutch is sweet.
how many millions of revs should i be roughly starting with? Theyve got no balls til at least 12-14000.
Just doesnt seem to want to lift unless you literally drop the clutch.
