Well youd think that a 1000 would be able to power up but apparnetly not an 88 fzr. I know that its heavy but still.
Is there any hope or has my baby passed her prime.
I cant seem to get the hole clutching it thing down.

im thinkin about goin 1 down in the front. might that help at all.
Or must i just keep 2 wheels down at all times..
thanks for any help..

 

Clutch it. Its the only way to go. I have the same problem with my katana.

 

I haven´t tried the 88-version, but I ride a -91 myself.
And it´ll wheelie of the throttle in first no problemo.
I mean, it´ll jump up on the rear-wheel if you get the tires nice and warm. But in second I prefer to clutch.
I´m not very good at clutching it up yet, but it can be done on fzr 1000.

 

ok i had an 88 honda hurricane 1000. what i had to do was get it to abot 8k rpms stand up and chop the throttle. somtimes i had to pull on the clip ons a little but it got up there. i think standing up helped the weight shift or something but this bike was beat and it still got up there, so give it a shot. later......

 

how about a 94 zx7r, i can't seem to get the front end up. I seem to have to clutch it up with a bunch of RPM's. Anyone got any input let me know. I think it is too heavy to stunt like i want to. Maybe change the front sprocket and jet the bike? PLEASE LET ME KNOW SUMTHING!!!!!!

 

my cousin has the same bike and you wouldnt beleive how easy it comes up he has it geared down like a *****. so try it, kaws are tanks so they need something extra. good luck

 

My buddy has a 93 7r and I can wheelie it on stock gearing.....
It's all Technique ...... Keep practicing.... you'll get it!

 

Yea i have a 94 katana 600 and it will come up without clutch, just use high revs and forks to help out and it should come up. But the way i prefer to get the front wheel up (high and quick) is with clutch. By the time you get the wheel up with a power wheelie your out of revs and 20 over the speed limit
