I was just reading about wheelies - 6/26/2007 11:34:57 PM    nd2slodwn   Posts: 15 Joined: 6/26/2007 Status: offline And I was seeing everyone had their opinion on how to do it. Several said get to about 30 mph and let off and right back on others say to clutch it. Since I don't know what size this sprocket is I can't say what the deal is but I can be doing like 5mph and punch it and it stands right up. Or I can nail it in first and it automatically comes up at around 7500 rpms or so. I also notice my top speed is 158mph@10500rpms. From what I understand the bike is stock other than a sprocket change. Do these numbers seem to be about right? Post #: 1

RE: I was just reading about wheelies - 7/10/2007 4:36:49 PM    skubysnak   Posts: 296 Joined: 4/21/2007 Status: offline Hey Havoc, I've got a stock Erion 929 and have been wanting to pull wheelies, but a bit scared as I'm not sure which is easier, nailing it or clutching it.  I've been playing with the throttle in 1st, but I'm not sure at what RPM I should expect the front end to come up.  To start, I just want to raise the front and bring it down.  When I get more comfortable, then I'll hold it a bit longer till I can go forever like the rest of you guys. What's the best way to get started???  Skuby (in reply to HAVOC) Post #: 4

RE: I was just reading about wheelies - 7/10/2007 11:18:27 PM    HAVOC Posts: 4495 Joined: 6/27/2006 Status: offline u can also just blip the throttle. get going and roll on the throttle , roll off slightly enough to feel the bike let down, then just pin the throttle and it will come up no problem. clutchin it up im still working on but my friend got on my bike and going about 5-10 mph clutched it up hella smooth and rode it out really good. personally when i had my f3 i tried to learn clutchin it up but when i got my 900 and my 929 i started with power ups . take your time, start off slow and please dont stunt on public roads . its already dangerous enough try and keep things as safe as possible     _____________________________ (in reply to chpanther69) Post #: 6

So i went down one tooth in the front and now i can power in first for short ones, but if i want to ride a long one , i get into 2nd about 35-50 and clutch it  ride out shift to 3rd and so on.... so i'd say clutching is safer in my opinion < Message edited by solat24 -- 7/11/2007 5:15:29 PM > (in reply to vtrstunta) Post #: 8

Well, when you clutch it, at what RPM's do you hit before you let out the clutch???  Also, is it a quick release of the clutch or do you let if flip out??? (in reply to HAVOC) Post #: 9

RE: I was just reading about wheelies - 7/12/2007 8:06:27 AM    rabbit Posts: 140 Joined: 5/27/2005 Status: offline Clutching is best, but until you get used to the front end being light you can just run some power wheelies in 1st or 2nd. Once your used to the front being off the ground just take one finger and barley slip the clutch and the bike will come up. I have -1/+3 and I don't snap the clutch I just let it out a bit faster then if I was leaving from a stop sign and it comes right up. Very easy. The plus to clutching is that no matter how your bike wants to run that day(from heat or what ever) when you clutch it up you almost always take it to the same revs so when the bike comes up it hits the same spot. Powering it up is a little more hit or miss. _____________________________ Yellow/Black y2k 929rr-For Sale $2700 or trade LeoVinci carbon fiber exhaust FI Cage SI 12 Bar -1/+3 Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/prorabbit Check out my videos....leave some comments (in reply to Joker_114th) Post #: 12
