I can clutch it up at all...tried and didnt get the front removed from the pavment.
I can only do power wheelies.
in first, i can flip the bike over
in second, I can only get the front up about 6 inches to a foot.

thats just with power wheelies

Before you start practising wellies do yourself a favor and order new headstock bearings. After a few weeks of brutal cluths abuse and smashing the front weel back down you will need it. Good fun thoug... :banana: :banana:

I wouldnt go sayin all that there billy boy.. The whole FZR 2nd gear wheelie's are a myth.. 3rd gear is the real truth lol :yutugh2:
