wheelie picture

[leland]

I randomly meet up while riding with a few friends that were taking pictures of there bikes, when they asked me to take them to a spot where they could get wheelie pictures. I ended up getting a picture taken of me. It's not quite as high as I usually get them and thats because I was a little nervous doing it on a 2 lane street with the guys bike and himself in the other lane taking pictures.

quick question, today I ended up bring one up even higher than normal in a sitdown, the guy next to me said I was pretty much at a 12 o'clock and since I was not really ready for it I ended up sitting it back down. When I came to a complete stop to talk to him I turned my bike off then I tried to turn it back on and my battery was dead. Did setting it down a little harder than normal do something electrical to my bike? I have never had a battery problem with it before it has always started up first try. But right after that wheelie it went almost completely dead.

Thanks for any help.

may have loosened up a battery connection, thats my only thought

I hate to knit-pick, but get some good riding shoes or boots on.

Check the battery connections and the fuses. Those two should only take a couple of minutes. If those are OK then start checking other connectors. What does the bike do when you turn it on and try to start her?

Actually, you might want to make a new thread in the "Tech" section.

Thanks there ankles. I usually wear my oxstar boots but when I say I was out and randomly meet up with the guys I know that wanted pictures, I was not planning on doing any thing until they asked to get a picture of me.

Not bad, but you do need to lean back and straighten your arms more. You should also bypass your tip over sensor... it's #9 in this pic Just jumper the red/white wire and the green wire, or put a dab of silicone on each side of the slider to keep it from going one way or the other.
