wheelies
jambo and i were chatting last night and it got me thinking. in one way or another i have wheelied every bike i have ever owned. also some i didn't. how about you guys? i know the sv is your first bike for many of you and you may not have done a wheelie yet. but even hoisting it 2 inches counted in our chat so how about it?
big ones, little ones, you ever wheelied all your bikes? if not how many have you? just wondering |

Also somebody said to me that he seized his SV by doing wheelies..
Apparently when you get it up on the back wheel it starves the front cylinder of oil which makes the engine seize, anybody else found this or heard of it ?

its gone very light and i think i may well have lifted but i snapped the power straight off in a mild panic! ok it wasnt as bad as i've made it sound but i need to be more confident before attempting for real. hopefully my impending track day will sort that out!!! |
