Hills and front cylinders
 

If i travel up a steep hill will the front cylinder be starved of oil as in a wheelie situation?

Here is the hill in question

Short answer, no :D If my trig is correct, 1:4 is 14 degrees; in my rarely humble opinion a good wheelie starts at 30 degrees (and generally ends with me on my ****, but lets skip that part).

Might boil your brakes going down it tho, so make use of that engine braking :D

Been there a few times, in summer its heaving and all you can smell is brakes and clutches.

What a society of poor drivers we are now!

No problem re front cylinder, however don't do it on the hottest day of the year with a pillion, stuck behind several buses and coaches :smt013

No.

Re: Hills and front cylinders
 

AFAIK the problems don't start untill you're right up near the balance point

No, but that looks fun :D lol.

EDIT: Just looked where it is, no joke my grandparents live in Barnstaple and I have planned a really good route around them and getting there and that is one of the roads on the way :lol: Even more fun now lol.
