Re: 12 O'Clock Bars
Heavy acceleration no, but that's not really how you wheelie. The slow stuff is mostly "snapped" up with clutch.
Easiest way is to snap throttle shut then open again, even on 33bhp.

Re: 12 O'Clock Bars
Yup, first. About 6k.
Remember the bit that needs most force is the initial lift.

Re: 12 O'Clock Bars
I had one of those 'how hard can it be' moments on the way home from work and this is the result.

 Keep powering through and close the throttle to drop back down or drop the clutch or is it best using the back brake?

Re: 12 O'Clock Bars
What I do during these idiot moments - Keep a steady throttle and control the front height with the rear brake.

Re: 12 O'Clock Bars
I had another go at this today away from the public road. I just need to lift the front up a little more and then learn to power through it. Towards the end I started to get the knack but I also felt guilty for my SV.
 http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=SpvLhMbdhlo I still don't think I'll be needing one of the 12 o'clock bars just yet.

Re: 12 O'Clock Bars
I find those bars useless to be honest. Your heel always gets stuck in them, and I HATE unsnarling my hair from the chain.

Re: 12 O'Clock Bars
the 12 bar was just a idea because i was gan get a cheap sv and use it for a stunt bike to say then i found out about the oil and decided not to.
but the wheelie side of things iv been trying and can get it up a bit but i havent got the nuts to try and rev it more
