Stand up wheelies

[binge]

Well I learnt this today. The pillion peg likes to fold in when the front end comes really high, So they arent as high as they could be just yet, Looking into a locking mechanism for the pillion peg.

Other than that, im still trying to find a "balancing point", I can keep the front up for about 100 meters, but then i find im bouncing off the rev limiter. I cant seem to "stop accelerating", Just keep gaining speed until I run out of revs.

Still, impressed with myself none the less. Got videos to come too.

Balancing point is far further back than that, try getting it gradually higher and bringing it back with brake when it gets hairy

Cant get me toes on the brake when the bike is at that angle. Throttle closure is enough to bring the front down anyway.

I dont feel comfortable bringing it higher up yet either because of the loose pillion peg. It folds in, I nearly fell off because of it.

I need to make some sort of sleeve which goes over the peg and past the hinge so it doesn't let it fold up.

Do you even need to stand on the pillion pegs?

Because the mcn guy at the end of this looks like he doesn't

I've been trying to wheelie recently on my bandit 400. I've tried accelerating steadily through first gear and the front doesn't come up. I've tried taking it to the powerband (6k) and then slipping the clutch, but that hasn't worked. Am I giving it enough revs? I had what has felt like the front coming up happen twice, not sure if it was just the forks decompressing though...

[binge]

On the 400s you need to really work them to get the front up, they wont wheelie under power.

When I stand up wheelie, Its a case of dipping the clutch and bliping the throttle open and once the front is up gradually increasing the revs.


Sit down wheelies I roll forwards at about 15mph, Dip the clutch and take it to about 10k Rpm, Then briskly let the clutch out holding the power on.

Thanks for that. I'll keep trying. Sorry for hijacking your thread, it was quite rude. Nice wheelies, where about do you live, if you don't mind me asking?
