Does your motorcycle do power wheelies?

beansbaxter · 09-29-2010, 01:03 AM

I'm talking just plain and simple power... you roll on the throttle and the front wheel launches toward space. I am not talking about dumping the clutch and hold on tight...

Please name your bike with a yes or no answer.

Pimpit · 09-29-2010, 01:13 AM

06 GSXR1000 Yes on stock wheelbase, not so much with 8in extensions though

RedStar · 09-29-2010, 01:19 AM

on my k2 1000 I got it up a little off the ground, then I gave up and went to clutch ups, in my opinion clutch ups are the way to go, but that's just my preference for myself, so in the end, whatever works for whoever, do it! Just get that front wheel off the ground and ride that sucker!

lost cause · 09-29-2010, 01:46 AM

little chris
yes with out extenstions my 954rr has no problem doin power ups.

Back Of The Pack · 09-29-2010, 01:57 AM

03 r1 yes stock wheel base and stretched.

'97 YZF750R
Yes, have done it and will do it, but don't make it a regular thing as I never could ride a unicycle very well!

Probably would be a little easier with a lighter rider over the tank! LOL

Waldo · 09-29-2010, 05:31 AM

RC51-Probably but not with my slow self.

MissKaos · 09-29-2010, 07:14 AM

Yup! It does. But I don't like it. It makes me pee

BuellCru · 09-29-2010, 07:39 AM

2007 Buell XB12R

Yes, power wheelies like crazy.

Linker33 · 09-29-2010, 08:13 AM

Only at 130mph.....

02 GSXR 600

But... no, it won't. It will if around 10k, you chop the throttle and then gas it. Or of course if I stand, then it will.

But just sitting, and rolling on hard in 1st the front won't come up. Maybe for someone else, but it won't for me.

cms1172 · 09-29-2010, 09:02 AM

09 Buell 1125CR, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear, yes

Ditto on the Ducati. The BMW GS1200 does it wih a passenger, no problem.

mxroostin · 09-29-2010, 09:05 AM

08 cbr 1000 rr - nope, wont even if i uggg utttthh it...

theduckllr · 09-29-2010, 09:07 AM

No way. I rode one and was sure it would punch me in the face with the clocks!

sd · 09-29-2010, 09:40 AM

07 ducati 1098s would be a yes, not that I have tried it
08 gsxr 1000 would also be a yes.

normanrc51 · 09-29-2010, 09:45 AM

RC51 - yes it sure will.

steven32 · 09-29-2010, 12:07 PM

07 gsxr 600.
Nope. Maybe like how linker said, but its just not there.

Rokkit_Science · 09-29-2010, 12:11 PM

Gsxr1000 yes, even with the stretch. BIG wheelies hahaha! licensing anyone?

Triumph, on the track yes, but I cant do it on the street , boo.

LckyTylr · 09-29-2010, 12:20 PM

my ktm 690 will do it once in a while. :-) When I come out of a corner and try to slide the rear tire, sometimes it doesn't slide and it just grips. The suspension is bottomed out enough so that the rear squats just enough and as I'm exiting corner it will pop up for a few seconds. That's ONLY in first gear riding like a total moron.

Yes!

I haven't tried, but I'm sure it will.

Hubbs · 09-29-2010, 06:13 PM

Negative Ghostrider... not sure if it is just because the carbs aren't entirely synched, but I think of it like a safety feature - I don't need to worry about the front end coming up if I decide to romp on the throttle haha

vene09 · 09-29-2010, 06:26 PM

Same response as I had with Steven, wrong thread...wrong forum...

CBRF2Old · 09-29-2010, 08:07 PM

Ascot, power, and wheelie are never used in the same sentence.
Archaic CBR has carried the front wheel a couple of times. If the front wheel leaves the pavement by 1 inch, I count it.

Yours should have no problem bouncing up under its own power if you shop the throttle and lay into it.

Are we talking straight up, gas on, wheel up in here - lol?

-1/+2 will change your bike into a whole new machine. The hardest part is adjusting your mind to know that 7k in first isn't 35 mph anymore.
