Having trouble with idle wheelies

I can clutch straight up, within about 5 feet of where i'm stopped, but it seems like I'm always going behind bp and hitting the tail. So how do I find where I should keep the bike at and use brake?

I'm not using idle either, it was on stock.

Re: Having trouble with idle wheelies

theres ur problem...in order to rock an idle wheelie u need to turn ur idle up...if ur doing this on the f2...i wud say 3000-3500 shud be good...clutch it up and when u let off the throttle if it carries, and wants to go backwards then ur set...use the brake from that point on to keep from flipping

Re: Having trouble with idle wheelies

Now I'm having more serious problems, the bike is leaking gas like a sieve out of one of the tubes above the carbs since I dropped it. I don't know why the hell it is. I'll take a pic.

It only happens when I have the pet**** on.

The hose is circled, but it's on the opposite side of the bike... It left a huge puddle after 3 minutes.

Re: Having trouble with idle wheelies

No... I saw it leaking dribbles out of the tube, from what I can tell it's an overflow tube..

It did it aftrer bike rolled on to the handlebars on the right side the same side of the carbs that its leaking from, and there was gas all over where I dropped it..
