Fast pull away, no wheelie

[thatdude]

Find the sweet spot where the throttle position gives a light front end but no wheelie

[graham22]

OP - why do you not want to wheelie?

If it's not to draw attention then surely pulling away at the rate where the bike is picking up the front wheel despite trying to keep it down, then you will be attracting attention anyway?

If it's for drag racing then it's technique, the front will hover in the first couple of gears if you get the launch right, as your rate of acceleration will still be high & it shouldn't wheelie in 3rd.

I've had no troubling lauching various bikes like this, including drag racing my 990 Super Duke to a 10.8 run to launching my CR500 at sprints & hillclimbs - admittedly something like a Hayabusa is a bit more idiot proof to launch but that will spin if grip isn't too good.

I currently find this, even in the dry. I usually put most of my weight forwards to stop it lifting if I'm showing off, pulling away fast or whatever..

Also consider the chain tension. if it's a bit tight it will bind the rear suspension at the end of its travel and make the rear effectively solid so the bike will wheelie like a champ.

+1

Google "squat" and "anti squat" the angle the rear swingarm makes with the run of the chain on the big with massively affect the wheelie ability.

You also need to slip the clutch quite a bit to get a really good start (for a few seconds at least). Check out Simon Crafars MotoVudu series for more info.

Don't do what someone next to me on the grid in Cartagena back in May did and just drop the clutch and hang on. He slewed sideways straight into the pit wall and took 3 other bikes out. Complete tw@t.

If you get your backside off the seat & weight over the tank, it's surprisingly easy to spin the rear on very new or slightly shiney tarmac, even with the bike already rolling - there's some nice new pieces near my folks at Illogan where you can leave a black line.

I guess on your commute you've discovered how slippery (fun) the slip road onto the A30 at Indian Queens is?

[soad]

All in the clutch control. As said, keep your weight down over the front (visit McD's more often).

I think, it would take anyone a while in how to use every single horsepower, whilst remaining sat on the bike.

Eat a family meal at McDonalds or KFC every day for a month or so. Best anti wheelie countermeasures ever.

BTW did you know KFC is called "PFK" in Quebec?

I do now. Must be the French influence (Poulet Frit Kentucky).

I find my Blackbird is very difficult to power wheely, but it don't half get away quick. Long wheelbase?

[TimmyWimmyWoo]

Yep – the BB is a long old barge. I've had some fairly big (for a non-wheelying noob) power wheelies, but only by provoking it (ie off the throttle in first, then hard back on it – it comes up veeeery smoothly).
