No idea, but a GSXR1100 sounds like the perfect bike to learn to wheelie on. I'm sure you'll do fine, and it won't be at all expensive.

get your mate to try it.. tell him to rev like smeg and drop the clutch...
will prob go straight over backwards, but at least you wont get hurt!
...find someone on here that can and get them to show you!
mines too heavy and puny to do that!!

Let the good times roll...
Try rigging up a side stand switch with aluminium rod from your number plate or similar, this will cut the engine out at your desired height prior to flipping. You can set it at low height to start with and once you are use to the way your bike pulls up you can adjust it to suit. I tried it out on a small capacity bike and worked to a certain extent I still ended up with gravel rash on top of the tank, but always hover the foot on the rear brake…good luck.

Should be pretty easy on an 1100. Here's how it's done on my RF (similar motor)
Get up to about 70km/hr in first.
Close the throttle. The front will come down. Open the throttle wide just before it gets to the bottom of the suspension.
The front will come up fast at first and then seem to float - be careful here - change up quickly into second or you'll loop the bike.
As for keeping it there I'll defer to those with much better control than me. I can't hold the front up for that long.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

take it easy, dont try too much too soon
no more pies
rubbish, i fell of the back of mine when it came up far more readily than I would have thought... they wheely alraight, in fact better than 250 cc inline 4s. give it heaps, body posistion is perhaps more important than most other things.Originally Posted by Disco Dan

it's hard to get it up by just acelarting. because the rev counter doesnt work I don't know how hard i'm reving it. usually ride to 80km in first & 120km in 2nd. I can feel the bike strting to come off the ground when I accelarate hard but it's only a little wheelie. I wana do big oneswill have to try clutching it I think

The instructions are simple...
It's in the technique. With 140+ HP, you won't need to 'clutch it'it's hard to get it up by just acelarting. because the rev counter doesnt work I don't know how hard i'm reving it. usually ride to 80km in first & 120km in 2nd. I can feel the bike strting to come off the ground when I accelarate hard but it's only a little wheelie. I wana do big ones
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

no offense intended but i think its a good idea to get to know the bike before trying to mono it.....
you shouldn't need the rev counter, once you get used to the beast you'll know where its torque is strongest just from the feel / sound etc.

I use to clutch my ols cbr250rr that went up very nicely. I thought the power from the gsxr would be enough to bring up the front but it wasn't enough

Mate - holding the front of an RF up...?
There'd be enough of a challenge getting the bloody thing back on the ground without denting the tarmac

I can get it up no worries.....
as for wheelies..... I found giving it some decent revs at low speed, give it a pull and hope ya dont get flattened (or caught).
I'd never condone doing wheelies tho. The cost can easily outweigh the benefit if it all goes wrong. I agree that getting the feel of the bike is lots of experience and time on the bike is the key to learning new tricks..... something I should be doing myself.
