how much throw on the clutch would u say u used to get it up at that speed?

[rossor6ridr]

@Leonhart9584 No clutch. Powered it up in second then shifted to third

What gear are you in when you did that and what RPMs, im just getting use to my wheelies on my buell but i can only get it up in first and second gear.

[rossor6ridr]

@TreaHuggs I started in second gear not sure the rpm's its been a long time since i had the bike but i think i was around 50mph

yo how is this bike is it easy to wheelie on becuase i am thinking to get one should i get one

[rossor6ridr]

If your used to wheelies on a chain driven bike then probably not. it took me a while to get used to the no play in the belt drive. i also broke 2 belts at 150 a belt it wasnt cheap. But with all the torque this bike had it was easy to get the front wheel up

i wish i had green open roads for miles and miles. ohh wait i live in illinois, never mind thats all i got.

06 xb12r and love it.

buells are wheelie machines.

@mixsignal91 I have a highly modified 2003 xb9s and even then your gonna top out at about 140mph but trust me man you wont want to go that fast on a lightning. For one they have no fairings for aerodynamics and two the short wheel base will make you extremely unstable at high speed. Ive done it once and that enough for me. idk just some friendly advice

I just sold my speed triple, which was the wheelie machin, just bought a xb12r, pick it up tomorrow, hopefully it can wheelie like th etriumph, but im not sure it'll have the power of the triple! here;s hopin!
