New bike Wheelies....
So im still fairly new to the stunt game.... been riding for a long time....
anyways got a new bike cbr900rr less then a week ago and took it out tonight and did some real fun highway riding with a bunch of friends....
then went to a spot i know and started my wheelie session.... anyways finally after gettin bored of workin on 1st gears... went to a long road i know and tried some 2nd gears....
WOW i love this bike.... im sure some of you can relate to the first time you pulled up your first real good solid wheelie...
i clucted it up at like 20 ish and it came up perfect to the BP and i just rode it out and man... IT FELT SO FREEKIN AWSOME.....
anyways... hopein to get a procket chain to help out the wheelie situation and gotta remember to add and extra 1/2 to full quart of oil so i dont starve it....

Re: New bike Wheelies....
What year is your 900? Get comfortable with your wheelies on the street before you put a sprocket on it. I had a 56 rear with the stock size in front and I thought it was perfect. 2nd gear had awesome torque for spreaders and HC's, wasnt twitchy at all. 2nd gear was still good on the street if you picked it up under 40mph, over 50 I used 3rd. My rear brake was **** for some reason, I tried everything to get it to work better, the only thing I didnt change was the rotor. That sucked for learning idle and the bike was just heavy, but still rocked for street stunts..... I miss it!

Re: New bike Wheelies....
hahhaaha yeah i will be satisfied with doing 130 for street riding.... my buddies i roll with love to go out on these country roads and just dominate the speedo for like an hour doing well into the 160's.....
personally i would much rather be in a parkin lot somewhere doing wheelie's and stoppies all day then go out and do that.... not that doing 150 isn't fun now and then.... LOL

You wont more control??? Try getting it down in first and clutching it up at a dead stop. That way when you flit it you wont die or be in the hospital for the season.

If I read that correctly I dont think you walked away from a 60 MPH crash. Let alone ride away on your bike. If your going to your way through life or this thread think again. The OG's and the regulars will tear you apart before you can even double think.

Re: New bike Wheelies....
well i dont know why you think i said i walked away or drove away from it.... but no the bike def did not drive away from it.... but i assure you i walked away in pretty decent shape.... it was a 2nd gear wheelie on my old bike.....
had some rash on both ankles... left calve... left upper upper thigh, left lower back and right hand got some threw my glove.... but i got right up after it happened and walked over to the grass and sat down for a few.... so no broken bones or anything like that means walked away for me....
i got real lucky though cause i had long jeans, gloves, helmet and a leather jacket on... so it wasn't all that bad....
the bike though was down for about 2 or 3 weeks gettin fixed.... mostly time spend waiting for parts..... broken Ign. cover... bent this and that... broken tailight and blah blah blah....

Re: New bike Wheelies....
It's all about how lucky you are and how much gear you wear. I was sideswiped by a car at 70 and hit the ground doing about the same speed..... I had rash on my palms (through the gloves), and on my knees (through the jeans)..... All witnesses told me they thought I was dead sliding and eventually tumbling from my high side.....
I had other bruises and scrapes, but I picked up my bike and put it in the back of my buddie's truck.. Next day I put new handlebar on it and clutch lever, and though it looked bad, it was rideable. When it high sided it landed on the left side and slid down the road facing as if it was being driven. I may be lucky, but I don't think it was rare to walk from a downer above 50.
But then again I was on an old tank Buell and wearing good boots and upper gear.
I would'nt jump on the wagon yet.
I'm not swinging any nuts, he just wants advice.
The best advice I can give ya bro is to find local stunters and talk face to face, watch them ride, wheelie for em, and let them yell at you and what not.
No one said learning is fun all the time!
