im too afraid to drop it to hold it for any real distance. Tongue what technique do you use? i always want to hear more about people wheelieing 2v monsters!
i usually close the throttle and crack it open quickly that gets it up nice and quick, but only in 1st gear... im too fat to do it in the other gears..

Dammit I went +1 on the front sprocket and cant power wheelie in first.
I didn't try with stock sprocket, but I know I lost some pow pow.

for some reason i can clutch my bike up it scares me i don't want to hurt the bike, mechanical wise not by falling lol. Any input i have no problem doing power wheelies, but thats only fun in first gear.

Have never been able to intentionally loft the front on my M750 in any gear, no matter how hard I try. I popped it up about 3-4 inches once, but it happened when I hit a bump WOT in 1st. I even switched to 14/43 today and still no dice.
