how 2 wheelie, superbike mag style!!!

[stu9000]

On a loan bandit at the mo as my vtr got clobbered and is in the shop.

Tried the roll on wheely described in the vid and bugger all is happening.
I thought bandits were wheelie monsters too.
Mines done 100miles. this years model and its a SLUG.

However hard i roll it on it just tootles up to speed with nary a wheelie in sight.

Yeah but you've only got half of the Bandit wheelie monster (1200)

Cheers

Hi Jurgs, PM or MSN me your details and ill send it over, although i feel confident enough to pretty much word for word describe what to do, i spent ALL last summer learning wheelies!.....its those darn stoppies that are so hard!

I can't get the link to work.. I would love to see the video.
I can rip 1st gear wheelies all the time... but 2nd eludes me.
Please help... I want the Migual Duhamel stand-up 2nd's...

Are you bring it up on the cluth or just on the power, have you got standard sprockets?

how i do 2nd gear stand ups (working on 3rd)

Roll on, low revs around 1400 in 2nd, slow is good, stand up, butt slightly back, lean very slightly forwards and then quickly lean back whilst giving the throttle a quick blip (usally a 3rd of the throttles travel), this brings the front right up and then its just a case of practicing this and getting the balance point correct.

As your doing sitdown 1st gears i imagine you have a fair idea of how to sit the bike on the balance point, but with stand ups its best to learn around the 10-11 oclock, trying for 12 oclocks will see you off the back.

Really i should be telling you to cover the rear brake all the time in case you go too high, however i find this a right mission when standing up, and the storm has a nice load of torque which will quickly bring you back down by shutting the throttle!


O0o0o and as i remmber the superbike vid doesnt have any stand up techniques, just stoppies and wheelies!

[c dub]

Awesome! I will use this technique and let you know the results... much appreciated.. I didn't think using the clutch was necessary and you have confirmed this... thanks!

Well i cant actually do stand ups on the clutch, my friends can but i find it:

a) a total mission

and

b) pointless when you can bring her up on just the power

[Hanuman]

are the links still active?

just tried the wheelie link and it was a dead error.

[Squiffythewombat]

nope, the links dead, you could try metacafe or video.google but thats my best guesses!

I might still have it on DVD somewhere?
