i ride a 96 ZX7R +2 in the back other than that pretty much stock,ive pretty much gotten wheelies 80% down but ive been trying first gear tank spreaders. i just rev it to about 7k rpms and wack the throttle,it comes up about 1-1/2 foot just powering it up.im wondering should i used the clutch and whats the best method? and another thing is does anyone know how easy a 7R's tank will cave? i dont want it to im just wondering if it will if i slam down from a spreader..

I got a 7R to and im still learing my wheelies but i was going to ask you how are you doing normal wheelies on the hog? Im down one in front and will be up 2 in the rear tommorow

DoodleF4i

im doing first gear stand ups right now,i put my left foot on the rear passager peg and it helped a lot to feel safe at the balance point..but i just it to 4500 rpms stand up and give it gas and a little balace..the 7R is a hog of a sportbike but its a nice bike..tell me how that sprocket set up goes for you

KawZX7R

Yeah ill let you know, on mine now i clutch it in first to get it up but i havent got anywhere close to bp

DoodleF4i

yeah the BP feels like its waaay up there but i never clutch mine in first,it jumps up pretty quick for me.just work on it.i was doing little sit downs then little stand ups for months then one day it clicked and now i can keep them up pretty good

KawZX7R

I was going to ask if you had any video or pics of you doing ur wheelies? and when you got ur bike did the bike have +2 or did you put it on?

DoodleF4i

naw,not yet my buddy keith has a digital video camera and im gonna see if he'll shoot some video if i get any ill send it to uponone.com...i love it when people stunt zx7's only person i know of that does is j.t holt and he does sick **** on his zx7r...people need to see him ride and then say zx7's are underpowered hogs

KawZX7R

Yeah just let me know when ever you get some video, and hell yeah jt is the **** on the 7R i have only seen some pics and about 5 mins of footage on Urban Assult, i wonder how his bike is set up?

DoodleF4i

his set up is prolly MAD SPROCKETS,but most of the time its all about rider skill than sprockets/bike

KawZX7R

Yeah thats true cause i bet if some one who was good at wheelies could get on my bike the way it is now and just do wheelies all day

DoodleF4i

yup..hopfully tomorrow i can go to my "spot" and practice for a little while..im wanting to try to slow my first gear wheelies down and work on spreaders.one thing that helps is find a clean road free of traffic/cops/people...ive noticed when im all by my self is when i do my best wheelies,i can even just have my gf standing on the side of the road at my spot and my wheelies get sucky..try it

KawZX7R

Ive been to a couple spots around here with know one around, some times i do go ones with people around and some times i do shitty ones, i think its just in my head lol when i think more about the wheelie is when they suck lol

DoodleF4i

yeah it is all in your head..you have to really concentrate on the wheelie,also try droping your rear tire pressure 8-10 pounds..helped me out it makes it feel a lot more stable mid wheelie..BTW where are you from?

ZX7R's rock!

KawZX7R

DoodleF4i

ah cool,im rockin it in st.louis

KawZX7R
