First off I'm a wheelie maniac I just love doin them... this may not
be in everyones heart but.. If you want to wheelie your sv here's what
to do.
1st gear wheelies:
Drop back in your seat position, place your lower back as far to the rear
as your seat allows.... stay within 10-20 mph and give the throttle a
nice but short roll.. that should get your rpm's just right the first
roll SHOULDN'T lift the bike.. right as you relase the first roll hit
your throttle again and the bike should come right up and in control...
A tug on yur bars is not really needed I tend to find that tugging on
the
bars often results in the front wheel touching down on and angle wich
will send you over the bars so be carefull... the first roll will feel
like a bit of a lift but it just bounces the front a bit to set you in
motion.. anyone whose ridden and enduro or dirt bike knows what Im sayin
I'm sure most of you know to keep your foot on your rear brake to sit
the front wheel incase you get a lil too HIGH wich is easy to do on an
sv
In 2nd gear:
Now 2nd is a bit harder then liftin up in 1st gear but still very very
possible.. Same seat position as 1st gear wheelies Tuck your clutch and
get the rpm's up to about 7 dump the clutch in an even and smooth manner
and WAHLA! try to DUMP YOUR CLUTCH EVENLY otherwise The bike will jerk
wich can result in a fall....
If you can keep it up long enough wheelies in 2nd gear leave room for
shifting to 3rd... If your nervous about doing wheelies Then don't do
them....
