Yamaha Roadstar Warrior Wheelie 1700cc's

[mitchgmace]

Yeah, I don't do them on mine (to old and fat) But, my son has done it on mine. He rides a Suzuki B-kinc and ZX 1000. And is a decent rider. I don't let him ride my favorite bike much. LOL

[Damico07]

bad.....wait for it.....ass......

[JamesMQuevedo]

Thats awesome!

[ArkansasGillum]

Thats good man..My 1100 vstar was hard to walk..Funny weight distribution

[WilsonFX]

I'm sure you could do it even with a stocker if you tried hard enough. They've got plenty of power, it's just hard to get the tire to hook up under all that torque. All I can say is find a nice sticky patch of road on a hot day and spend some time getting the feel of the clutch. I have better luck starting the clutch dump at lower revs and then opening the throttle up as it engages. Have fun and don't tip over :)

[dunsun31]

I have an 09 warrior and I can't for the life of me do that. How do you do it?

[rhoey1]

DUDE What? crazy awsomness!

[scripachi]

Super!

[mitchgmace]

set that first one down a bit hard. Need fork seals yet?

[WilsonFX]

@mitchgmace I don't do it very often, but no, they're still holding strong.

[dunnybear009]

Thats bad ass dude! Im too chicken to try it on my warrior but i give you props man!

[MARIOBLAHA]

nice

[ibuiltmineo1oo]

Thats pretty cool! Its like somethings lifting the front wheel, like a hollywood CG or soemthing. Its just smooth into the air. I have a 1400 intruder, and its fast up and fast down.

[bbearhug]

Dude, what are those handlebars?

[WilsonFX]

@bbearhug

They're Baron's bars, Radius I think they call them. Set up with internal wiring.

[m109r1800]

OK-- now thats takes SKILL.AND HE HAD IT UP FOR SHORT WHILE.

nice job. My m109r lays rubber before any thing some up.LOL

[Zetune79]

i'm impressed

[jasongiddensviper478]

That takes alot of skill to get a beast like that up in the air!

[playgoog]

sweeeet I want one

[jaredh222]

can anyone tell me the top speed on the roadstar warrior? cant seem to find it

[mister1king]

Stock, without any gearing mods, right around 135ish.

[Damico07]

@jaredh222 ive hit 130 but didnt want to go higher

[TRohr]

Working on getting some high compression pistons installed on my 2000 Road Star- extremely excited.... How much did the dyno tune run you?

[WilsonFX]

I can't remember exactly, maybe $250. You'll need a power commander too.

[Hazmat0357]

what modifications where made to the engine?

[WilsonFX]

I put higher compression pistons in, a high flow intake, and the Yamaha Speedstar exhaust. I also put in a Power Commander and had it dyno tuned for the setup. Max HP was 89 and Tq was 107.6.

[onecylanderracer]

@WilsonFX ya but is vp fuels a familiar friend of your bike now with all of that done to it??

[WilsonFX]

@onecylanderracer Never tried it, but I'm sure it would only help. Does fine on 91.

[aamith]

Only had the front wheel of my Warrior up once. By mistake. Luckily I was wearing a helmet so nobody saw me shriek in panic and dissolve into tears. I'm manly.

[jamesfz6]

Holy crap! Thats a lot of bike to be up in the air like that.....I would need new underwear if i did that on a warrior

[WilsonFX]

Thanks for all the comments... I'm really not that crazy though. It wheelies pretty easy if you can get it to hook up, and there's not much risk of it coming over because it's so damn heavy. I'll admit, it's much easier on a sportbike though.

[flwkid]

sick

[efx06]

What a big balls

[smotryas4iy]

Man,you have iron eggzzz......

[pieit83]

your crazy man

[LemonLimeFizzz]

Awesome.

[elpidiovaldez4ever]

NICE!!!

[redninjazx]

I'v never seen a cruiser do that. so cool.

[swedishmax]

i have one too...how the hell did he hold the wheelie!?

[dev4net]

I'm wondering the same thing. I've owned mine for 4 years and have never had the front tire off the ground. That was sick!

[FranMan221]

I'm a crotch rocket fan.

N I must admit, that this is one bad ass bike.

I'm trying to get my uncle to get one, since he doesn't want a crotch rocket.

Kudos to the rider.

Signed,

The Panther

[IRONSEAN7]

i agree fran man,,, i ride a 2001 gixxer 1000, and that wouldnt impress me on a gsxr,, but on a cruiser,, it looked badass,, sounded good too,,, look up harley wheelies,, even more impressive,,,, Great video

[knighcs66]

Is the warrior the fastest cruiser? Would it beat a 600cc sport bike "CBR"? Or a 1000 cc sport bike?

[IRONSEAN7]

ya, the new 600 sportbikes are sick, even tho i ride a Liter bike,, id take a 600 anyday,,

[dev4net]

No, the warrior is a fantastic bike (I highly recommend them), but the speed and acceleration of the HD V-Rod was NOTICEABLY more.

[carcrazyguy]

Its true..I dont know why poeple are dissing this but I road both and yes the V-rod is faster but the Warrior handle better and feels better to. The V-Rod felt like a skiny bike at the front and huge at the back. Its not a realy good feeling in the twisties. So I made my choice. I now own a Warrior. Go take a look at my video.

[Birdrunner54]

It may be quicker but the VRod is still the bastard child on HD. I still run into other HD owners that think it should be discontinued.

[ogrefromtheeast]

mine wont do that.............then again im a fat ass

[ttmaxti]

That's badass. I want a Warrior now.

[radifura]

wow!

this video reminds me of Harley davidson and marlboroman!!

[rex4x4]

i have to comment again ....... damnnnnn this gives me a stiffy .... good job.

[drewp24]

I also have a Warrior and tip my hat off to this guy for the skill/balls to pull this off.

Nice!

[rex4x4]

omg ...... ive had crotch rockets my whole life but age is settin in so i settled for a warrior.... i figured it was still sporty lookin but i was gonna miss the wheelies .... DAMNNNNNNNNNN this has got me all excited .... i just bought one and i pick it up in a couple months ..... hehehehe yessssssssssss

[ericazone]

I cannot believe this video!!I want to try this.

[WilsonFX]

A couple... only good for about 10 Hp though.

10.25:1 Patrick Racing Pistons

Big Air Kit

Yamaha Speedstar Exhaust

Dynojet PCIII with custom map

Dyna Performance Coils

The stock warrior has plenty of power to wheelie... the trick is to get enough traction.

[warriorroy]

thats pretty sweet...any mods tothe bike tho??

[TERRIERPACK]

Oh well new year new bike, the bandit will have to go..! bring on the Warrior.!

[murfthesmurfl3]

That was sick!! my dad tried to wheelie his warrior nd it didnt grip at all, it just spun the back tire. lol. AWESOME vid!!!

[xisitmex]

That was bad ass, but I wouldn't do that with my warrior.

[grandprixgtp101]

wow never seen that but other then on a sport bike nice job buddy and u got some balls nice video

[stealthrt92]

Holy Crap!, I don't think I'd have the balls to do that on my warrior.

[Mach3Nitro]

thats pretty sweet

[balconio1172]

Sick! Never thought that it would wheelie so well.
