Subject: Wheelying a TL1000R

May seem like a Stupid question because i know that the things can be hoisted up.
But I'm in the market for a new bike after smashing my Gixxer 750 in the summer. Have always fancied riding a twin, but want to know if it is worth going for a TL over a gixxer 1000 for the purpose of wheelies through the first three gears ?

    - GET IT UP IN 3rd OR 4th?! Dude you better go buy a Barnett Kevlar Clutch and Springs, then go up 3+ teeth in the rear sproket [and even then, MAYBE] if you expect to bring it up in 3rd, let alone 4th. It would be easier to learn how to shift and ride into 3rd or 4th... you can do that on anything with two wheels and a gear box if you know what you're doing.

    - My TL is down right now but I got 3rd gear wheelies all the time. 4th eh, took some muscle and is way to hard to get up to the balance point. You want 4th gear wheelies out of a TL. Do this... pray. When that don't work I give you my last option (two words) PORT & Polish... & cams, and power commander... etc etc (get it) (NT) -- ARE-OH-BEE, 18:56:35 10/31/04 Sun
