I was just wondering if anyone wheelies an 04 R1. If so, what is working for you. Since this bike is not as strong at the bottom I am having some trouble getting mine to stand up and stay up All opinions welcomed

 

its an awesome wheelie bike if you have the money to destory a brand new $12,000 machine!

 

You should have no problems geting a R1 up i have road one they are wheelie machines if its got a clutch you can ride a wheelie keep trying you will figure it out.

 

r1's will power up in 4th.. if thats your thing...... thats not "stunter" **** tho....

but of course it will wheelie. its just a matter of skill and $$$

 

i like the way you think man. people here give you **** sometimes for saying stuff like this, but you are right. a few wheelies are one thing, but its horrible to beat the living crap out of a brand new bike. if i get the bike im shooting for, im going to baby it like crazy.

 

It will come up, just keep practicing and dont rush or you just might destroy it.

 

bro its really simple..honestly...the bike is a little groggy till 10-15MPH..get to about 25 u'll be at about 5-6rpm close the throttle then slam it open after shock is done compressing..do this sitting of coarse//no need to lean or tug on the bars..do it a few times exactlyl like that and u'll see..in 2nd get to about 50mph again at about 5-6rpm stand shut the throttle and repeat the process just when u open it back up start leaning back..biggest prob is ppl lean forward as first...

 

great wheelie bike, if your uncle money bags.

 

pshhhh.. who does wheelies anyways?!? So played out... sooo.


Destroy that biatch and post up pics!! Who said you cant dent in plastic, FUG IT!

 

R1 is more peaky and is gonna be harder to get up in lower revs and may run outta gear easily

 

They new R1's are hard work to wheelie (well compared to my K3) you have to have the revs up above 8grand unless you like using the clutch.
