fargo_182 Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 I've had trouble doing wheelies with my bike since I got it. Specs. .60 over wisecos, vforce reeds, k&n filter, pro circuit platinum pipes. I can't do wheelies on pavement, I've done maybe 3. It seems difficult to find that sweet spot where it wants to raise up. I can do it from 1st obviously, but from a roll it won;t pop. She's got power, I'm as fast as a stage 2 cam 450r. Is it gearing? My buddy and his 450r can pop wheelies in 5th gear all day long. I can get his to do wheelies. I don't know the gearing on it I'll have to check and update this. Maybe that's it. It used to have 22's now has 20's on rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECshee Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 stock gearing is 14/40-41 i think. 4strokes are always easier to do wheelies on. with speed, my front end will come up in 3-4th gear, and im roughly 180lbs. pull back, gas it, and hope for the best. your on a 2stroke now bud!

jbirdshee Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 I have the opposite problem on pavement. Slow or fast all the way up into 5th mine wont stay down. I guess that's what a 4 mill cub on a stock swingarm will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donkeypuncher Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 practice, practice, practice and more practice. start in first or second in a slow roll. drop the clutch and pull up. it's all in throttle control and balance.

fargo_182 Posted September 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 my sprockets are 15/41, should I change the front? What's the 15 doing that a 13 would change? Less top end? Would it give me more torque? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fargo_182 Posted September 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 I cant wheelie for shit either and I have way more done than you. Doesn't really bother me because I know my dumb ass would try one showing off to my friends, bring it a little past the balance point and eat shit. Lmao, I have done this from a stop and ended up cart wheeing the banshee. seriously it flipped sideways over itself. Bent an a-arm and rim. Haven't dragged froma stop since haha.

RagunCajun Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 If it's in 2nd or 3rd just rev and dump the clutch. At the same time pull up hard on the handle bars. I do mine in 4th so the engine isn't as peaky. Haven't tried a slow off the pipe wheelie in a while. Oh yeah, practice!!! And train yourself to cover that rear brake.

bluebanshee421 Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 smae here i can get it to come about 4 inches off the ground but thats about it. i have fmf gold series boyeson rad valves and tuned right stock gearing and 18 inch tires and sometimes stock tires but still wont raise up.

RagunCajun Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 When i was just bolt ons, i had to dump the clutch in 1st or 2nd, slam my butt down on the seat to get enough traction to pop it up while it was barely moving. 4 stokes are just easier due to the TQ they make and how/where they make it. I throw it back a little in this video(im in the Red banshee HQ shirt; thanks loco!): http://s240.photobucket.com/albums/ff111/raguncajun/?action=view¤t=riding6-27-10part2.mp4#!oZZ11QQcurrentZZhttp%3A%2F%2Fs240.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fff111%2Fraguncajun%2F%3Faction%3Dview%26current%3Driding6-27-10part1.mp4%26 but as you can tell, i still need lots of work. I still have to figure out why my bike wants to pull right when doing a wheelie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RagunCajun Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Tried 3 sets of tires/rims. Same pressure etc. I know the subframe is bent. I got a spare frame but too lazy to swap everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
