Trouble wheelying on full tank.
Not a whyle ago i posted a thread, of traction and tire presure cause i have been having wheelie sessions.
Some of them were pretty succesfull for an aspiring stunter, others were a disaster, i could not lift the nose on first gear, when i was flirtting with BP 2nd gear the day before, and launching 1rst gear from stand still. Well today i was in a little alley with water on the ground and i poped easy, but fuel light was on. after filling the tank i couldn t lift the bike jack the tail was wipping like hell, even in second gear, i have a 954, anyways what do you think?

Re: Trouble wheelying on full tank.
Honestly I usually only put half tank all the time considering what two gallons of gas probably weighs in at like...16lbs. An that's 16lbs on the front of the bike so there would be a difference...but enough of a difference that a 954 couldn't pop up?..nah.

I keep my tank full at all times. Fill it up on the way to the spot every single time.

Re: Trouble wheelying on full tank.
it s not that is no power, but the tyre is spinning like hell i d still get vertical but the bike is rising crooked so i cut off gas and no wheelie, but Nags idea is the best learn to pop it on a full tank, it s very posible, but it s a different input then.

Re: Trouble wheelying on full tank.
if your running too much tire pressure ur wheel will spin easily, try runnin around 25-30lbs. how much gas you have in the tank is totally irrelevant to your wheelies, ive never ever noticed a diff in my riding with a full tank compared to a near empty tank.

It could also be a shitty *** rear tire...I had a problem where my back end would go spinning and every time I'd clutch it I'd end up doing rolling burnouts. The bike was sitting for some time and the tire was pretty hard. Changed it out to a new M3 and my first attempt it popped up stupid easy.

Re: Trouble wheelying on full tank.
my 929 I could wheelie with full or empty. Get rid of those bridgerocks. you will kill yourself on them. If you do use them for stunting 12 lbs in rear and 25 in front for endoes. You might get enough grip to make it perdictible.
