Simple, sell your Katana and buy a bike that does that.

Katanas are horrible bikes for stunting. Very heavy and underpowered. + the oil pump is at the front of the engine, so when the front end is in the air, the pump is sucking air. Kills an engine quick. The suspension is soft so when you land you'll bottom out guaranteed, and in very quick oreder blow out the fork seals. And since you'll have to clutch the hell out of it, you'll fry that real quick. For the amount of $ you'd have to drop into it to not kill ourself and/or wreck the bike you'd be able to sell the Kat and get something better suited for stunting.

Yeah, you chose the wrong bike for that kind of riding, it is a TOURING bike after all. Sell it and get a GSXR or similar.

You mean it's not a crotch rocket? But it looks kinda like one.

You just need a lot of sprocket... Lol no but seriously, they handle a lot better with both wheels on the ground.

Wow, it's been a long time since someone started a "new" wheelie thread. I thought they were extinct.

I saw a post on craigslist, guy was selling his kat. He had it sitting right next to a half street fightered cbr 600. Said the kat was his "stunting" bike. Lol in other words, thats the one he drops and doesnt care cuz god knows he aint "stuntin" on it.

Learn to modulate the clutch better. Almost anything with 2 wheels can do a wheelie. The katana isn't going to power-wheelie by just twisting the throttle, but I'm totally confident that someone with wheelie experience can easily get the katana to do a 2nd gear roller into a wheelie...

or just get the world's largest rear sprocket.

Sure, you can probably get it off the ground, but what do you do when you want to come down? Also, as stated above, popping wheelies on a kat os going to significantly decrease the life of the bike ie: motor, trans, clutch....

Makes it sound so much cooler than the truth Huh? When you think about it, it works for most things.
Wife " why is there peanut butter on the floor?" Guy " stunting ".
Try it, it works. Think of any question that starts with WHY and answer with STUNTING.
