ANOTHER f4i wheelie question

killlume · 08-23-2006, 01:21 AM

so i have an 02 cbr f4i. i like to fuck around now and then, and i can get a pretty decent 1st gear power up wheelie as of nowi dont clutch at all just bang back on the throttle and come up. i never stand up just sit downs, and i dont really ride them out that long at all maybe 10-15 ft. and i know i havent come anywhere near my balance point. when i am highway riding power ups arent working, i sure as hell am not jamming it into first at 70mph. so my question is how do i wheelie at higher speeds,clutch ups, and are power ups even possible? if you have an f4i what rpms are good. i cant find anybody near me on an f4i that can wheelie for shit so any help is appreciated. also how do i know when i find my balance point

to wheelie on the highway you will need to be in 2nd gear, and either clutch it up or bounce it. you can read about both of these techniques in the stickies. dont worry about getting to balance point, it takes time and practice. when you think you're there, bring the wheelie up higher...cuz you're not.

alright, how is the seated wheelie at those higher speeds, should i start learning the stand ups?

Your f4i will wheelie fine in 2nd gear, just use the clutch.

That video is barely helpful.... as someone stated before... the video is like "ok now just barely bring the front end up, OK good, now this is a 2 mile wheelie... ok good"
