You might check yer suspension settings too, if they are too soft, that might hurt yer wheelie endevors. And tighten that chain up too. Mine likes to wheelie in 2nd coming out of turns (-1, +2, 3/8ths inch spacer under rear shock, max hard rear settings, racetec gold front inards, 520 chain conv). She's a blast.

well i will be damned .... aparently in the 750 miles i have put on this bike i have never actually hit full throttle .... gotta shorten that throw seriously ... did notice today when i actually did that the front tire came about 6 inches off the ground effortlessly (i didnt want to go any higher ... really didnt plan on it coming up)

HA! see? I am not the only one! told you noobs in my other post, give her a real twist, you'll be suprised! (and frightened!)

Condor, can you bring your rear sprocket over to my house? I have no clean dinner plates.

2nd gear will come up. If you get the RPM's up to about 7k, while standing, preload the suspension and snap the throttle. It will come up, but I don't recomend this for inexperienced riders, since you are doing at least 70 in a stand-up mode. Careful for wobble while up in the air and head-shake when you land.

just a friendly reminder. Attempting or performing a "wheelie" is consider wreckless driving. So be ready to run away if a cop sees you. either way you could lose your license.
