Wheelies on RS or ST?Re:



It's quite straightforward to wheelie an ST or RS. Accelerate smoothly (is
there any other way?) in first up to about 4000rpm or higher. Close the
throttle, wait until the revs drop to 3500rpm (without touching the clutch)
and open the throttle suddenly. Front wheel will rise up as high as you
like, and spit you off the bike if you're not careful. If you've got the
aftermarket can on, and the bike's correctly set up, you can do it at
2500rpm. With a bit of practice you can get that front end up with just a
quick chop of the wrist, with no clutch action or weight transfer required.
Careful, though!
