Re: slow 1000 wheelies
First mod - High temp brake fluid (brembo makes some new **** thats like 600 degrees, no joke)
Second mod - Some vans waffle grip so you can feel your back brake pedal (cuz you are going to need more feel than a catholic preist on that 1000)
Third mod - Dirtbike gloves so you can not gorilla grip your throttle into next week. I find that with a slim tight fitting glove you can do the most minute throttle imputs which you will severely need with that 1000.
Fourth mod - Amazon.com has a 3 week installment of Balance Point (BP) with anti-foot-in-the-bar creme to be applied twice daily from the calf down. I just received mine in the mail and my foot-in-the-bar has decreased significantly.

Re: slow 1000 wheelies
Learn the rear brake
This one is completely stock. Idle is 1,100. Original brake pads and 2 year old fluid.
Not to mention an electrical problem that makes it shut off randomly for no reason..

Re: slow 1000 wheelies
o yea goin slow on the 1000
basically ull prolly loop it if u dont have a pretty good stunt game. i consider myself a decent lot guy, i can ride the streets forever on the f4i and the 1000 but goin slow on the bitch is tuff
u have to be perfect on the gas break...otherwise its a wrap or a powerwheelie! which are both gay as hell

Re: slow 1000 wheelies
And to stay on track. The 03-04 Gixxer 1k has been one of the easiest 1000's to 12 that I've ever rode. Just spend some time trying.

Lol.
You should have come down with Aaron.
Actually, can you text me his phone number? Dumbass tells me he's coming down and wants to hang but doesn't give me his number.
