the bike is tiny and you over power it.......... remember that...

When you give it gas to bring it up you have to pull up on the bars at the same time.... then lean back and just coast.... like this

 

Ride that thing, get used to it like it's part of you. The timing will come when you try enough. I keep my chain pretty tight, cuts down the throttle lag. Get after market air filter, and exhaust, these things help cut the throttle lag also. Check this out. There are a few shots that the timing is pretty evident.

Wide open throttle and rev out 1st, keep the throttle wide open and shift to second. I promise the front wheel will come up.

 

and your *** will go over backwards

 

The front wheel will come up though. I bought my fiddy in college and used to tell all the drunk people who wanted to ride it that it was an automatic and just to shift up.

 

.... did u tell them to cover the rear brake or did u wait till after they busted their ***

 

Niner u see the new 2008 yamaha wr250x SIC ... saw it last night at a dealer.....

 

They didn't want to wheelie, just ride around. But no. i only showed them where the front brake was. LOL

 

i'll have to check it out. But no way i am going to buy one. Already have my drz SM.

 

yeah thats why I showed u cuz i saw ur avatar .... they look sweet and they have a R1 tail light $5900 thou i little step ... I would only **** around in town and lots .. your get blown off the freeway with a 250

 

its pretty gay that its a 250 IMO, they should offer a wr450x..them ***** would sell like hotcakes and actually give the drz400sm some competition.

 

I paid $4500 for my drz and that isn't any fun over 65MPH on the highway. A 250 would be plain dangerous.

 

preload the front or neutral drop it

 

hold 1sy gear wide open. keep the throttle wide open and shift to second. it will work trust me. hahahaha

 

Welcome to 2 weeks ago.

 

I dont get how people can wheelie and have the concept on a streetbike but cant wheeelie the 50 ............

 

no clutch and **** for power compared to a streetbike maybe

ive been riding it a lil here and there when i get some time...got it to come up a bit gunnin first and shiftin to second. gotta get some pegs so i can practice some lil standups and a better rear shock :YEAH

 

 

dizzie56 - the rear pegs are the dogs m8! I just have to blip gas in 2nd it comes right up. In 1st I can pop up to b/p and hang it along about 2 van length(25ft), even manage 2/3 circles. But for the love of god, I can't power up in 2nd from sitting.

My problem now is the back break - it's not linear, it's like a light switch. I have read the mod post, but when I had it apart and checked out shoes the cam lobe had a small slither of sprung steal over the bit I need to grind. The mod say's to grind of 1/8". If I was to do that it would mean no steal left. Would that cause the cast alloy to prematurely wear out. Or does it not matter?? Any idea's please anyone.


Sorry to hijack ya post(again) dizzie56.
