Well you blew it there, slick. It's too late. You need to work on your opening line if you wanna pick up your 'A' game.

[IForgotMyUserName2]

do you think i could get by on like my "B" or "B+" game??

With a twelve pack or other suitable alcoholic beverage, an 'F' game will even work wonders.

I dont know if i'm the only one that can stay on topic
but I just learned wheelies, and they are easy on my 91 600. yeah my fork seals are shot, but I dont care, just replace them. I find the easiest way is to stay in first, ride to7- 8,000rpm, let off all throttle, sit up straight, and hammer the gas. its called a power -on wheelie, really easy and alot of fun to watch and ride

[DaytonaKatana]

slipping the clutch works to, but its really hard on chains, sprockets, clutch, and crank, so I dont recommend it untill your good with power ons

Check out these videos. They are pretty cool. I used to practice in parking lots. I brought the front up a few times. The kat is a bit front heavy for wheeling, that is why everyone says you will blow fork seals easily when you are comming back down.

Thanks Guys,
I think I might just buy a 2nd bike that is much lighter and can do wheelies easily.
keep the kat for those long rides.

[cynicalrider]

usually i clutch it up to about 8-9k.

something that is starting to get to me is whenever im out riding everyone and thier mom wants me to wheelie. i did wheelie for a bus of elementry school kids because i like to watch them smile and wave but anyone over ten i probably wouldnt do it for.

[cynicalrider]

also heres a vid but this guy definitely almost eats it.

wheelie on a katana isnt hard at all.everybody talks about fork seals blowing if you know how to wheelie and sit the front wheel back down right you will never have a problem.Been riding bikes for over 30 years and wheelied everything I ever owned.The problem with the katana is that if you overrev it trying to clutch it to get it up the back tire spins.use less revs to launch the front wheel and once the wheel comes up roll on the throttle.Dont get scared when the front wheel starts climbing and slam the throttle shut instead roll off slowly and the wheel will not come crashing down.

a guy with a screen name freshus come on of course she is a her btw why spend the money on bike just to try and tear it up

Put a big enough sprocket on the back, and anything will wheelie...

wheeling your kat

First of all quit abusing your clucthes, is'nt the wheelie punshment enough!
put your bike in first gear get going 10 to 15 mph and stand up on your pegs next slighty roll on and off of your throtel to create a spring effect with your front end. When your forks suck down and start to come back up roll HARD on your throtel and pull up on your handel bars. If you have a 750 she will come up rather easy and even more so if you change your sprokets out you will sacrifice top end if you choose to do this. next you will need to learn to shift gears becouse first gear raps out quick doing wheelies if you plan on rideing them very far but that is a lesson for another day. Now let me remind you that there are much better bikes for wheeling than your kat but if you are like me I will pop anything up just for fun. I would also try practing on a dirt bike or a gixxer750 or some thing that is easy to get up off the ground. Hope this helps
