cut your swing arm 2 inches they are fairly easy to pull and balance...... i can ride along at 85mph snap my throttle and balance one up to about 125mph.....but then it gets windy and i have to back off :huh:

i learned along time ago by snapping it up then pulling in my clutch and trying to balance to a stop after a while i can pull it up and blip my throttle to keep my balance, shift and accelerate....you just pratice slow and find the balance point if you start to go over just lean forwardj just try not to pinn it to get it up....snap it up ,pull in the clutch and try to balance it helps for good acceration wheelies too

Its all in the balance, throttle, brake, and control......Practice son, practice, you'll get it.....Deuce is right about the -2 swingarm, makes wheelies a lot easier and less angle....I wouldn't suggest the foot in the wheelie bar, especially for training....go back too far and your foot gets kicked out from the ground and now your running after your shee or draggin behind it from the handlebars..... <_< Also the high rev pipe will make it harder w/ the sudden hit of powerband.....

[and if your not goin to shift it's kinda pointless.......ride it like a two wheeler, snap it up, sit down and relax and just try to balance for as long as you can....]

 

when your standing on the back you can still have your left hand free so just lean down and grab the shift leaver no clutch neccessary, warning this does start to get scary in 5th gear

Blue Duece, I have been meaning to ask you; What type of time, distance does it take you to get to 125mph? I remember reading the build on that engine and it was very impressive back then.
