anybody know how to wheelie a zxr (specifics wanted).
i could get my gpz500s front wheel a foot of the floor but i cnt do nout on the zed ex er.

1st gear, dump the clutch, lean back a little (all dependant on how much you weigh and how far over the front your leaning)

dump the clutch as in pull it in rev it and then drop the clutch.

get to whatever speed 7000 rpm in 1st gear is on a steady throttle, clutch in, redline it, dump clutch, and UP she comes ..

then go order some new clutch plates.

I've tried and tried and tried. No no no.

get up to about 10mph hold the clutch in get round to about 10k an let the clutch out fast. all that should take about 2 seconds an your front will pop right up.

you aint on your own mate!

get the bike rolling, 10-20mph

then clutch in, handful of revs and drop the clutch, if my 7r will do it, anything will

Your 7 probably has a little more grunt than my 400. Anyway, I'll give it a go today and either post on "having problems", with a burnt out clutch, or "have you ever been in an ambulance".

it does have a lot more grunt, but the front end weighs about the same as a full grown hippo!

Still no luck. Just been out and tried it and the front end was firmly fixed on the ground. I imagine it's cos I weigh a lot and have short arms so am over the front of the bike.
It's probably a good thing as I have a mid life crisis thing going on and would probably try showing off and land on my butt.

p.s. Another great avatar. + 1 point.

well how much do you weigh then. im 13 st well i was when i was launching the zx sayin that i didnt wheelie it that often cos it knackers all sorts of things

Sixteen stone at the moment.

I think I should also add I wasn't that good at wheelieing on my previous bikes, although they pretty much did all the work for me.
