hi i am riding a 400cc CBR...juz would like to noe, at wat rev should i ram to b4 i can get my bike up from the ground....??

jonboy

i'm riding a cb-1 with almost identical motor(yours has a little more power tho) i usually cruise at about 2500rpm, get on the gas hard then slip the clutch a little, until around 7-8000rpm, thenlet fly. if your on the gas hard, it only takes a second to reach that. i tried doing it slower as i went(the slipping part) until it worked the way i wanted. like everyone here says, start slow and cover the rear brake.

jonboy

p.s. make sure the engine & tires are good and warm. these bikes tend to burnout if the tires are cold and throttle response sux if not warmed up

my cbr400 came up in first and sec, the powerband on those bikes is high, like around 8k

c'mon,man! surely there's a bike that can roll wheelies that's not a 1000! btw, covertwar helped me figure the standing of my -1 up. oh yeah, that's the naked version of the cbr400rr. i'll give a little credit where it's due. to the rest of you, all of you helped me get the safety issue down as well as could be. PROPS TO ALL!!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!

covertwar

No I'm not

jonboy

yeah, bite me. ain't no **** though. got the wheeliies on the -1 down. twas a beeautch! thanx bro. didn't have to use the rear pegs. just had to get the use of clutch down. damn! gonna have to replace that **** i think tho.

jonboy

i know you said a while back, but what happened to the cbr?

covertwar

had 2 cbr400's where i used to live before, sold them b4 i came back stateside, been like a year

covertwar

clutches on them older honda inline 4's are like butter, you are gonna have a lot of fun with them clutches, trust me

nakato

do u mean by asking me to roll for a while and rev to 8 before throwing the clutch and make sure it goes up...and do i get to maintain the one wheel or just a pop which i normal do?

covertwar

rev it up real good, then release that clutch and it will come up make sure you are ready on the back brake to keep it from going over, the exact rpm will vary, start in second gear to be safe, but if you cant get up then go to first

I've got hold of a GSXR400,just got to replace a couple of internal oilpipes and redo the camchain timing!!

Then we'll see how well it wheelies and stoppies

wow! these posts are old haha.. probably nobody's checking them anyway. cbr nc23 400 here and yes not only is it capable of a wheelie but man you can actually stunt the thing.. circles and all. a bit heavy but i run -1 +10 (49 rear) and it pops in 3rd and 4th if you put your back into it only reason i got it was price and license restrictions but now i'm pretty sure with all the mods(custom brackets, cage and all) i could have got an f4 by now but realy dont want to
