Wheelies

[bikeral64]

I was reading a thread answer about aftermarket cans and happened to see a comment by Bte72 that his bike will do wheelies. Is this possible?.
Mine won't pull wheelies off the throttle but I haven't tried dumping the clutch at 5000rpm yet. Has anyone else got a Peg that will wheelie. Although at 68 I shouldn't be even thinking about it (Or should I).

Instructional??
i think it was more like 5 mins of show off...
But it is confermed, it is possible to pop a wheelie on a peg. But I am way to chicken to try

That's awsome!!! I never thought it is possible. It looks he can take it up really easy.

And also front wheelie.... I don't know how can he do it. When I try that my first wheel always blocks no matter how I try.

I believe there is a trick with the weight distribution of your body....


BTW: The sound of this peg on the video is incredible. Maybe someone knows what exhaust is it?

. . . Has anyone else got a Peg that will wheelie. . . .

I don't understand. I have difficulty keeping my 2000 Cube on the ground - always flying away, especially up hill. Saves front tyre ware is my excuse when my lady complains

Whereas my Strada is rock solid? I wonder if the tendency to lift could be affected the settings of the forks. My old Peg is set right at the top (i.e highest sitting position) my Strada has the clamps at least 30 maybe 40mm down. It's too low for comfort anyhow so I'll move the Strada setting 2moro tand see what happens.
