Re: 2nd gear wheelies

Are you leaning forward and pressing the back brake without knowing it? I got on a kick where I was doing that after a little time off. I just have to lean back and they come up fine again.

who cares if their geared different, your both talking about stock gearing... keep your weight back and clutch it... i KNOW my clutch is f*cked up and my bike still comes up fine 1st-3rd gear, and highchairs, spreaders, ect... BTW, you came in here asking for advice, catach42 answered, who cares if he's 16, obviously he knows what he's doin more than you...

Re: 2nd gear wheelies

first off i was not asking anyone how to wheelie i have had that down for a number of years i was asking a question on the mechanics like if it was the clutch or posibly somthing else could be wrong so f**k the question since half the people just start rambling on about what someone is doing wrong

Re: 2nd gear wheelies

shut-up and listen. you are the one who asked for advice. you asked if there was something wrong with your clutch, what they are saying is that your clutch is fine, there is more than likely something wrong with YOU.
