Wheelies

Don't belive all the negative you hear. It's not that hard, just start small. I'm all for you learning, but ask yourself, are you prepared to accept whatever happens should things go wrong? Can you handle a broken bike, let alone, a broken ass?
Don't be afraid to try. Outlaw said start at 2 inches and work your way up, that's the best advice on this thread.
Where do live? If your close to me I'll help you out.

That could go either way. Learn on the dirtbike, get good, and then be better at them on the Busa, or get good on the dirtbike, and get a false sense of ability going onto the Busa.
I agree the Busa's not the preffered learners bike, but if he wants to wheelie, that's what he's gonna do it on. Best thing is what he's doin, askin for good advice for his bike.
I been wheelieing everything for over 20 years now, there comes a point when you can do it on one bike, you can do it on any. But they're all a little different, so starting out can make changing bikes more challenging to a newbie.
 
Standups are easier.............or so I hear. :whistle:

When you master it, and they get boring, as everything eventually does. Just turn the handlebars slightly so when you put down the tire, it gets exciting again.
And wear a tux, so you look good doin it.

:laugh: Yeah, or learn to steer and change lanes at high speed by turning the wheel, kinda like a rudder on a boat:laugh:
You can keep your crooked setdowns and tankslappers though:laugh:

Live a little homeboy.........:rofl: :lol:

Honestly,
I've been on a Busa since 2001 and have never had a tankslapper.
Just luck or what?? But these things are so big and stable, I don't see it.
:moon:

I love the noise that the tire makes apon arrival........ :rofl: :rofl:

LOL!! Calm down guys, I'm no evil kanieval.(for those of you who remember him) I'm just in love with my bike and want to play a little. Everybody has to start somewhere. Thanks a lot red. That's what I was thinkin. I just wasn't sure where to launch from and wondering how to release the clutch. I would rather look stupid and ask to learn the right way first, than to go out and put myself on my back. Measure twice cut once!

You always hurt the ones you love :poke: :laugh:

That being said if you riding wheelies on your other bike an just moved up to a Busa good luck an find a safe place an have fun.

If you are going to start doing wheelies on the Busa same message as above but maybe get an older bike lighter an cheaper an less painful to watch bumping sliding an smashed on the floor. Which ever way you go good luck quite a few wheelie kings here on the heavy Busa that can help with advice:beerchug:
 
In florida its a $1000. fine for the first offense for either wheel coming off the ground for ANY reason. That does not count any other infraction that the cop will put on top of that like reckless riding.

I'm in VA, too bad you're not closer. And personally, I think stand ups are safer and easier to learn. Your center of gravity is higher, and you have more weight to lean on the front.
If you tach it up to about 9 (in 1st gear), let the rpms fall as the bike decelerates, when they fall to around 5 or 6, snap the gas, it will power wheelie and accelerate quickly. If you start to stand up and lean forward over the tank as the wheel lifts, you'll quickly see that your weight on the front sets the tire right back down. Try this several times until you get a good 6 inch wheelie or so, and really get a feel of how the bike is gonna lift at various speeds and rpms( the slower the better to start)
Eventually you can progress to higher ones. Most power wheelies eventually tach out and drop the front. When you figure it out you'll learn how to balance the bike and keep the rpms steady so you can keep going and going.
Just start slow and gradually build up. Be easy with the throttle, there can be a fine line between not enough power to wheelie, and looping into the road.
Last thing that really makes the Gen2 Busa a wheelie machine is removing the secondary throttle valves. It is easy and straight forward to do, and is under a thread titled the same. That thread just happened to pop up again today and is still in the new posts. Coinsidence?:laugh:
Don't get in a hurry either, if you want it bad enough, it'll come. If there's anything I can do, let me know:beerchug:

I had a tankslapper years ago on a 750 Ninja, not cool, but a great experience to walk away from...which is rare.
I think the Busa is stable, and a little less likely to do it than some bikes, but make no mistake, they will do it. Keep settin it down crossed up and sooner or later it'll getcha, I hope it doesn't.
And yeah, that good old touchdown screech, Busa may as well be a jet anyway:laugh:
 
Thanks everybody for your help again! Ive got some good info to start with. I am def in no hurry. Im still young but the piss and vinegar is behind me. I respect my bike and what it can do to me if not careful. But I also believe that anyone who rides a Busa does so in part for that little rush you get from the speed and power potential that she has!
 
Ignore couple of naysayers. Just practice on small bike till you get hang of it. You will do stand-up wheelie on a busa in drag strip with style.

Ya be stylin' Mclovin'

:laugh:

There is a video of myself and good friend on youtube called "Busa does wheelie" it's been posted here before. I'm not calling attention to myself, but rather to my friend on the 06 GSXR1000. Watch how good his wheelies are.
He had never ridden anything, ever, til he bought that new in 06, at the age of 27. He kept a good head on his shoulders, and after about 3 or 4 months of learning to ride, he started attempting wheelies. After a month or so, he got it, he's been riding them like that ever since.
He's never been cocky, he's a humble christian man, and has never had an accident. Many have said he would, and some still do. But we never endanger anyone other than ourselves when we ride them. And they can go for miles.:laugh: Check him out, he's in the still shot when the video starts.
Just a little positive inspiration:laugh:Haters love that
