Do you guys have any secrets for suddenly coming down from a wheelie, without slaming down. My ride sometimes slips out of gear, and it comes down hard, took out my head light bulbs once

 

nothing you can do if it comes out of gear!! get that fixed!!

Which gear is it coming out of?

Are you short shifting in a wheelie by any chance?

 

hahaha, coming out of gear, if thats the case you have more to worry about then broken plastics or bulbs...

get your bike fixed first...

 

if its comin down fast,just gas till full lock,it'll ease the landing

 

I told the dealer about the problem, but I cannot prove it, it only happend 2 or 3 times a week. Mostly second, but now it doe4s it in third. Slamin' down at 80 mph is sometimes scary shiat. What do you mean "till full lock"?

 

Full lock...wide open throttle. Yea if your in gear give it gas. Use the throttle to control the wheelie.

 

When I try to rush things is the only time mine slipps out
take your time and get it in gear

 

when shifting gears in a wheelie,make SURE that they are exact,firm shifts,if not....you can kiss your tranny goodbye

 

thanks guys, I guess my anticipation of doing a wheelie in sixth is getting the best of me, since my tranny only slips when wheeling. I still need to maser the break control.

 

GET THE DAMN THING FIXED BEFORE U REALLY DO SOME DAMAGE!

 

I hear ya. Today I slamed down and snaped the brackets off that hold my engine scoop. This sucks 'cause m'bike will be out of commision for at least a week. At 100 to 200 miles/day, that adds up to almost 1,000 miles of fun. ...FUKK
