but that was an utter essay you wanted me to read.

Yea, as mentioned was aimed at the total novice so wasn't expecting more experienced stunters to read it
.
The other forum I posted it on I had mentioned writing the guide a few times in other posts, so presumably people realised the intention.
Don't suppose you know any decent spots in this kinda area for 'playing'?
Have found an 'ok' place locally (recently resurfaced
), but it's only quiet on Sundays - a quick vid of me trying to 'get' first gear balance point there, last sunday
here.
Duck-man:
I would expect most people that can do wheelies half decently will be using the clutch technique and possibly not even really thinking about it. While writing this guide I had to go ‘back to basics’ and think out what and how I was doing each step – I realised that when I’ve quickly described techniques to other people in the past, I’ve skipped over little bits and pieces that I just do – thus the rather explicit descriptions here.
I don't see any of the possible engine problems being an issue for people starting out - it's when you start to get good, that it becomes more of a possible problem.
Does anyone have any defenitive info on SV wheely problems? I've asked on here as well as on other places in the past. Some say that it's only certain models that were effected by the positioning of the oil pickup - and that there was a recall (to some degree) for these models - this was signified by a dot added to the engine number.
Regardless of this, I overfill my oil and am a bit cautious anyway - Try not to keep it up for /too/ long and make sure it's running for a bit when I put it down before picking it up again, to give the oil a chance to get back everywhere it should be. Haven't had any problems so far, but then I don't really do it too much.
SV650racer; cheers, though there could be some argument about whether I can go around corners, though I blame only having 15l aps practice on Friday :P. Just wait and see if I'm on a 675 next year - and extra 40hp or so to play with
(still not decided, got a few days left to make my mind up). Definitely not pushing the wheelies on track as much - would be rather embaressing to crash on the cool down lap (as did happen to two others
).
