clutch wheelies

i find getting a roll up to 6k then pull the clutch in rev to 14k-16k and let her go
if you wanna get some good height <!-- s:biker4: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/th_Biker_4.gif" alt=":biker4:" title="Biker 4" /><!-- s:biker4: --> make sure you rip back on the bars when you pop the clutch and position yourself as far back as possible

in saying this theres a time and place for doing it
be safe

 

I did my first wheelie today was great fun. Rolling at 4000 clutch at probably 12 or 14. Was only a little, but felt awesome.

 

There goes the neighbourhood <!-- s:cop --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cop.gif" alt=":cop" title="Cop" /><!-- s:cop -->

 

Thats the best ive done <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s -->

 

I guess my clutch replacement tutorial will be getting more use in the not too distant future. ;-)
PS. Hai guyz! Yes, i still lurk around here occasionally.

 

ohhhhh expensive jacket you got there ;D...

i'm thinking about getting the something along the line from Dainese...

but then on second thought may the $$ is better spent on a bitching yoshimura exhaust.. such a struggle.. i guess i'll jew myself out for the next two month and get both hahahaha

 

How has it been Koma - been a while since I have seen you post..
I think you would be pleased that the site is still active after the quiet spell 18 months ago. We nearly folded due to lack of member interest but now the site ticking along smoothly.

Got another bike yet?

 

Haha yeah I bought it second hand so paid I $400. Nice jacket but not worth the $1200 price tag.

 

my clutch dosnt really work anyway... lol. so no wheelies for me. =[
did you know you can crunchie the fizzer? not so nice downshifting though. =p

 

could someone please explain what crunching is

 

changing gear without useing clutch.
up is easy and fairly harmless. down grindes the gears a bit..
lots of people do it on motoX cos it looses less power than normal.
but it kills the gearbox.

 

Clutchless upshifts are NOT fairly harmless; they can and do damage your gear teeth, dogs, shafts, and shift forks. FZRs have notoriously bad 2nd gears as it is, and wide (street) gear spacing. The wider the gear spacing the greater the shock. If you want to slam shift from 4-5-6, fill your boots. Don't even THINK about hard shifting from 1-2.

 

its all bout matching the rev... if you know ur fzr250 good enough you can do the upshift without clutch...
personally i do clutchless up shift when i'm on highway or when my speed is fast enough to do that... (i.e. i dont know my bike well enough)
1 thing for sure tho this fzr250 do have bad bad 2nd gear... i kicked into phatom gear like 2 or 3 times... the sound of grinding gear scared the **** out of me.... <!-- s:neutral: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_neutral.gif" alt=":neutral:" title="Neutral" /><!-- s:neutral: -->

 

mine does it very easy... but my clutch is a bit rubbish anyway, when i shift fast, from a roundabout or somthing, its much easyer to crunch it up to 5th.

 

LOL,
I was going to say same thing (RE: Clutch replacement and also lurking)

IMHO, if you want to get the front wheel up, do it on a bigger bike (Though kudos for trying <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s --> )

 

Yeah whats all this clutch talk. Just sit back and rip on some throttle. Oh crap you need some torque for that. My bad.



Bob.

 

change your front or rear sproket would be the best way to practice so you dont ruin your clutch so fast i rekon

 

Everyone has good points..... but i'd say leave the wheelies for the bigger bikes if you have the power you wont need to ask how.
I dread the thought of a 20 odd year old bike getting the clutch dropped on it like that.
just my opinion though.
