Kawasaki GPZ (EX) 500 S

Revs aren't the problem with wheelies on an ex. oil starvation is. its oil pan doesn't keep the oil where it needs to be.

Nice chavy tracksuit bottoms.

[extreeeeeemist]

its not the back sprocket its the clutch and not so much as the springs ... i use stock springs and kevlar plates giving me a clutch that slips at first and then grabs like an elavator.... I can feel the clutch so well im in total touch with it

[rush2905]

i have a 94 ex500... what upgrade do i have to get to wheelie it? obviously a bigger rear sprocket. anything else?

[eb617781ma]

you dont even need to do the sproket. almost any bike will wheelie, you wont be doing power wheelies like on a gixxer or r6 but those arent as fun anyway

[Hasersys]

You do not need any upgrades. All you need to do is clutch it up. It may just be a ex500 but it will still clutch up. A lot of lower cc bikes can still do wheelies.

@Hasersys its so hard though.

[sksranger19882]

@carsnwomen91 And dangerous if you don't practice right. I hate wheeling on my 500. Try it on a dirtbike first.

Nice! Shame the EX's sump design is not at all suited to wheelie's.

If you want long life from your engine don't wheelie. If you don't care go for it! :)

[unclefista240]

can u up the capacity to compensate

[searchingforthebest]

@warwickstingray Please tell me what cheap/older bikes are good for wheelies.

[warwickstingray]

@searchingforthebest

I couldn't tell you but any bike whos sump design means that the pick up pipe can be exposed when pulling wheelies and therefore starve the engine of oil would be best avoided. Most bikes are fine at quite extreme angles but wheelies can be that bit too far. An occasional wheelie is probably fine but practicing them or showing off by doing very lengthy ones is asking a lot.

[searchingforthebest]

@warwickstingray Thank you for the answer.

Ok, but how can I find out wich pick up pipe are exposed and wich aren't ? Where should I ask ?

[warwickstingray]

@searchingforthebest I would have thought most modern and quite alot of the older superbikes are fine the designer would expect riders to really give them a thrashing. The problems are limited to older cheaper bikes and bikes designed more with commuters in mind. The EX is after all a budget middle weight with a bit of poke. low oil level will always increase the risk of oil starvation. I didn't mean to scare you. Go and get a supersport and wheelie your ass off if you want to.

@warwickstingray its not bad on your engine unless your an idiot that doesnt know what a red line means. bad for the clutch yes. bad for engine no.

[Stiggatus2]

Skill...

[jcthedrummer]

damn, how the hell did you get it to do that. I do good to get the front wheel off the ground much less something like that. any mods, other than taking the fairing off
