Power wheelies

Post by Dandare2 »

I've recently bought a Firestorm, but ain't cracked the power wheelie thing yet.

I was under the impression that a big v would wheelie off the throttle, but mine doesn't even if I shift my bodyweight back and yank the bars.

Any ideas?

hey, just kidding.

yeah, in first gear, just accelerate to about 20 mph, then let off the throttle, then crack that b8stard, the front wheel will JUMP off the ground.

second gear is tricky, stand on pegs, and bounce that bitch in the air.
(or destroy your bike and clutch it!!) easier but eventually deadly for the bike.

anyway, first gear will wheelie anywhere from 1000 rpm, to 7-8 thousand.

and once comfortable, move to 2nd gear, they are way more fun and predicable, the nose doesn't jump up, way smoother, and you can ride them forever,

good luck, ride safe,
