[Devil Dog]

No more wheelies...... You're killin' me!

lower it. I have my bike lowered 2" in the rear and 1" in the front and RARELY have wheelie problems with 260+ hp

do you have a stock swingarm???

 

[fstbusa]

stock arm and stock gearing

thinking about going 4" over for an arm for the drag strip to keep it more planted.

4-6" over arm .

How much do you weigh?

My bike is very low... 3+inches in the front and 3 inches in the rear. Check out my avatar... that wasn't the peak either. A few weeks later I looped it.

You can't leave at redline and just throw the clutch away......
You gotta modulate one of the two. Easier said than done I know, but it will happen......

Thanks Mr. Brown. I'm launching anywhere from 5k-7k depending on track conditions. I didn't loop the bike at the starting line... I was near the sixty foot mark. After the launch I WOT and it came up unexpectedly. This has happened to me on the street too. Perhaps its my lack of experience. I am a novice rider. My odometer reads about 4100 miles.

I'm a novice dragracer, this was my first season. I've learned a bunch and am looking forward to making more power next year. I finally figured out a good consistent launch process, and my 60' times have sarted dropping. I can usually hold the front end about 6-12" off the ground and roll into the throttle. It'll pick up a little bit on the 1-2 shift, just enough to feel, then it's smooth sailing. I wish we could do this year round.

When it comes up unexpectedly, it must happen very fast. I've seen several videos where that happens and the rider just doesn't seem to have time to react before he is on his back.

Remove three spark plugs.

Hold the throttle wide open and use your rear brake to control the wheelie.
