accidental wheel stands

Post by green thunder »

i know wheelies are illegal and all..... but... if i was to accidentally do one, what would be the easiest way for it to occur? i know zx7r's are boofy but surely it wouldnt matter a great deal

Heaps of wheelie threads, just put mono or wheelstand in search.
And you are right 7's arent the best due to "heavy" front ends...
clutch works but... :wink:

Just because you CAN ride, doesn't mean you SHOULD

Back in 1997 when Dangerous Dave's Bimota SB6 was in being repaired, he had a loan ZX7R. It happily performed accidental wheelies at will. !!!!! :D

Second gear, 5K, clutch it, and it will stand up according to Dangerous Dave.

Bloody cafiene!! Got home and couldn't go to sleep till 3 this morning!! Should have stayed for another couple of hours in hindsight. Then again, they were probably things my innocuous soul was best of not seeing!!!! :lol:

12000 and dumping the clutch will get a 250 to that height....also has a tendancy to cause brown stains in your undies when you do it for the first time.
19,500 before the cut out. Can you hear me SCREEEEEEEAM!!!!!!!!!
