Hi,

Me and a few mates ( 4 of us ) want to book a wheelie school up this summer before the weather gets awful again!

Has anyone done one?
Did they help you learn how to wheelie?

Been wanting to do one for years now so im finally getting round to booking one!

Cheers

What bike you gonna be using? SV's don't like wheelies without some modification...

Well wheelie schools use their own bikes so wont be using the SV mate, but will hopefully learn to bring the front wheel up on the SV at some point in my life lol.

What modification do you mean?

Don't know loads about it but I believe there is an issue where by prolonged wheelies starve the front cylinder of oil.
This can be got around by some kind of oil supply mod I think. Google should help you here or someone more knowledgable might care to elaborate.

i just watched the mcn video on youtube and followed what they said on there, now i am slowly getting wheelies :) never gonna stay on the rear wheel for long though, main wheelies are straight off the lights without clutch

Number one.Check Your Oil Level .
On the top mark before any of this shinanigans.
Low oil = sized front cylender esp on the SV.
2 .Cover the clutch.It will save you more than scrabling for the rear brake.
