  • Katana 750 wont wheelie...

    Hey all, I just bought a 99 Katana 750 with 6500 miles on it. Love the bike, it rides nice and has plenty of power. The problem is, it wont wheelie unless I clutch it up. Do any other 750 owners have this problem? I know I can gear down in the front to help, but really dont want to.

                Ex10... do yourself a favor and edit out what you said in your post. If not you'll never hear the end of our abuse bud.

                The basic facts:

                Wheeling a Kat WILL eventually, and fairly quickly, destroy it because it wasnt designed with that in mind (engine will not get sufficient oil, front suspension not made to withstand the force of coming back down, etc).

                If you want to keep that Kat running for long... be nice to it and use it for what it was made for...

                "Sport Touring"

                If you are determined to stunt... get a different bike.

                      No , I believe that's "ask a stupid question , get a stupid answer" ...
                      Of course , if you woulda just searched for "wheelie" in the first place , you might know how this forum would've reacted to your question AND found your answers at the same time .

                        I too looked through the responses you recived and did not see a stupid one there, every one seems to be telling you the same thing I will tell you. The Kat is alot of things, But a stunt bike it is not!!

                              kickitjp: I think he ment to reply to the "Katana 750 wont wheelie..." thread...

                              vegita365: He's refering to this subforum, "Mechanics 101"
