The video crew? Who are they? And how the hell do I stay away from them?

I d have to see where your at 11:30 is up there. do you have someone filming you or taking pics cause believe me you always feel higher than you really are when your starting out.

Couple of young cats that were talking about trying to make a little local vid, came out a couple times a filmed but never posted any clips or did anything with it. If your on pensacolariders its youngstunt and icebergster.

So when's the next time your riding/stunting? I need to get out and practice. Can you do slow wheelies??? That's what I want to work on. Need practice.

KingWheelie

I know I was 11ish doing it becuase one of the guys I was riding with was freaking out over it "Damn man, almost looped it!". I didn't think so.

FHL

My **** is floating and I'm not even that high

Once the weather is better... and yes I can do slow wheelies. I havent tried out my new sprocket but stock I could roll them under 15mph all day. I just went +7 so I need to take a part of the next time I ride and get used to it, shouldnt take to long my 636 was - 1 front + 7 rear and I liked that.

But this right here is 11:30 and I wasnt on the brake all that much.

KingWheelie

Yeah, that's about as high as I was, and it wasn't floating, or at least I don't think so, I need to get w/ someone that knows what there doing to show me what I'm doing wrong, thinking of going down 1 in the front so I can bring it up in 2nd, having trouble w/ that. Do you let out a lot of air when doing slow wheelies??? Any advice?

Dont gear it, Learn 1st gear first...

KingWheelie

My first is kinda short, not a whole lot of rev, it's hittin the rev limiter at 11.

Street_Punk

If you are really doing 11:30 wheelies then you should be no where near the rev limiter. Instead, your bike should be almost wanting to stall because your rpm's should be so low.

KingWheelie

???? Oh yeah? Well, it takes me a little while to get up there. I'll show you what I'm talking bout when I ride with ya next time. I'm probably doing it wrong, who know's......I'm going to try to get out for a little bit and practice tonight if I can find a spot out in Navarre....

KingWheelie

But I'm not going slow when I'm doing it either, forgot to mention that fact, I'm wanting to slow it down, but don't know how to yet.

KF_Chris

you should be able to clutch it up in first and keep the revs low

KingWheelie

It's a v-twin, I don't know if that changes things or not....

clutchit

No, it doesnt... you just need to learn to clutch it up faster.

KingWheelie

faster, eh? I hit it up there tonight, and it was going crazy in the rev range, going low, then high, then low.....WTF?

FHL

You need to clutch it harder so it balances quicker, when I clutch a wheelie I stay on the throttle and I'm probably balanced within 5mph, just takes practice.

There's an example of how fast you wanna get it up.

clutchit

Whenever I clutch it up Im damn near hitting tailsection... It all about getting used to it snatching up that high that quick. Then from there getting nervous is causing your up and down because instead of working the rear brake your chopping the throttle. If you want to do slow wheelies dont chop the throttle... Work the brake.

Trust me man it takes time, baby steps. Unless you like Hal(streetpunk) your not going to get it overnight.
