cant get it up

**coogarxrs** · 08-11-2008, 11:25 AM

ive been trying these 2nd gear power ups (yes i know clutching is better, but im just trying to get it up a bit). when i think power -up im thinking all i gotta do is whack the throttle and pull back a bit and boom wheel rises (like it does in first). but i keep nailing the throttle and it doesnt feel like the front is close to coming off the ground. tried it at 8k at 50 in 2nd then 9k, 10k, 12k. nothing every time. whats a guy to do?

sit down or stand up?? either way you gotta preload the front end

sit down. did pre-load. can it be my chain slack? its within the normal spec that the manual says. (all be it, it is the upper part of whats specified) 1.5 -1 3/4 slack

same with me the first couple of times i got it and it scared the hell out of me then once i rode it for a little while and got scared again now eveytime i try it i really cant get it back up like the first couple tries i just bounce and gas it at around 55 in 2nd gear it goes up maybe 3-4 inches of the ground then my front tire came down side ways a little and i got scared and really stop trying it a wiggle at 60 mph is no joke ima just stick to the clutch ups for now

dont be scared tits if you get the wigglies goin that fast just pin the throttle back, i kno sounds crazy but it will take the wiggle right outta the front tire, "tank slapper" as far as second gear power ups just kinda move back to where your ass is kinda on the passenger seat, thats what i do. but i really dont like to try and wheelie down the highway i keep it to first gear clutching
