Power Wheelies?

Post by MillaMeter »

Hi,

Can anyone seem to get the front wheel up from their ZXR400 with just the power from the throttle? I thought it wouldn't be possible as it's only a lil ninja, but I did seem to get a lil 1 today (after doing some tuning) and I shat myself. The bike is still running poorly at low range but runs mental up top, so I'm gonna take it to a place called Road and Track Dyno over in Aylesbury next Friday. Can't wait for the results :D

Ive only ever tried of the clutch, it comes up but has never stayed there purely on power. But it can be done, just difficult off the throttle.

I also forgot to mention I'm slim and barely weigh 10 stone lol.
Think I've done it a couple of times but not as high as I did today. All I did was accelerate very hard out of this mini round about and all of the sudden the front wheel just went light then I felt that sudden drop just before I shat myself thinking wtf just happened there.

Although using the clutch to drop off sleeping policemen is pretty cool :smt003

never once properly wheelied the 400 more just going over bumps and the front jumping up and crashing down again.

To keep the front up you'd have to be quite good and find the balancing point and hold it on there quickly
