Re: [ST] 1050 wheelie?

[Nathan Maher <nate@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm surprised your stock ST won't power wheelie, not that I endorse that 
kind of chicanery ;).  I'd wager that dropping a tooth in the front or 
adding a couple out back would greatly increase your ST's desire to get 
light.  I know that it made a big difference with my RS and made it much 
more drivable in the twisties.  The stock gearing on both bikes, IMHO, is 
too high.

The same gearing issue may plague the 1050's desire to wheelie as well, 
but with the bump in power it may be less of an issue.  To a certain 
degree I think wheelies are somewhat rider dependent.  That is to say 
that a practiced hooligan can make any bike wheelie :).

Keep the rubber side down,
