Noise Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Make sure your pretty darn straight before giving it the pull. Seen so many guys and gals land with a wonky wheel and there pride and joy bouncing down the road. At 0.08 secs in your vid you just see your wheel turn slightly left just before lift off. Just take care. Keep it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dt502001 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 If you plan on doing alot of wheelies better move the oil pick up to the back of the pan,or weld in a deep sump and extend the pick up,or you will fry the motor mainly the cams. Trust me I fried mine from doing 5 gear wheelies in about 5k from new,the fz/fj motors don't like to be turned in that position fo long befor they cavitae and stop picking up oil.

O right the corn field to corn field closed course what was I thinking ,some women just can't appriciate a good wheelie. As the track is closed for the year now,but next year a day at cayuga,on a open track day,or St Thommas drag park ( I know the CEO) we can get together and do wheelies all day till your comfortable with shifiting much safer that way, a day at cayuaga on the circut track you'll be a way better rider. Everyone should do a day at the track at least once a year,help's keep you sain on the roads. Nothing beats getting to thrash the shite outa your bike without havin to be looking for "Johnnie law" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for track day - I'd totally be down for that, could always use more practice in a safe environment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
