Re: [ST] new subject: ST & wheelies

[Jim-Karl Gagné <jim.jay@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi to all, i dont know how you guys can pull those power wheelies with the
ST even with 18 tooth, mine does not seem to do it. As for second gear,
forget it.  for the record i can do wheelies via the clutch in 1st gear,
then shift in 2nd mid-air but, cannot seem to get it up in second even via
the clutch. is my bike normal ?

with other bikes, like the ZX-11, at around 70 km/h, i would pop the clutch
in 2nd and shift in 3rd in mid-air until the motor could not keep it up no
more. All this was done on the balance point, so you go further, i could do
a 1/4 mile like this and come down at 180-200 km/h.

now with the ST, i cannot get it up in second, but when i start in 1rst and
shift in 2nd, it does not last long in 2nd as the motor does not seem to
want to keep it up there ???? even with a BMW R1100GS, i could get it up in
2nd, what is wrong with my bike or does everyone elses bike do the same?????

maybe ill try 17 tooth.
