[maybebuell]

change of sprocket can do things like that

 

[BuellPartsGuy]

Pairtbow, I have been saying that for a while now and hardly anybody believes me.

 

[jsg]

Well I'm not an experienced buell rider but I did quite many demo days and even if your not supposed to wheelie it did happened to me by accident on a xb9s right after shifting to second gear without even trying to do it and where it started to get up if I had kept going it was up to stay there and ride it, but before getting in any kind of trouble with the demo staff I droped it back down ASAP

In the latest issue of FUELL, they have an article on some City X stunt riders. You can clearly see the MASSIVE rear sprockets they're using.

 

[PAIRTBOW]

I've been poppin' 1st and 2nd gear wheelies on my '03XB9S since she was but a couple weeks old.

Thought I'd lost the ability when I changed out to my Jardine titanium, but did 100yards plus just the other day showin' off for some kids @ work...

Guys I seldom post but often read. I know this thread is ancient, but along time ago I found this video and wanted to post it so all the non-believers will STFU.

Before I link, I want to announce that after some money and time I have added some extras to my 08' artic white / blue xb12r and will be making of a video of it soon for show.

While I have not yet rode wheelies for a good distance some one please give me pointers, because this video is fucking insane!

(wheelies from 1st to looks like 3rd maybe 4th gear)
THIS IS SICKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excuse the terrible music.

buell sponsored stunt rider giving commentary on how to do wheelies, sick!

also check out "ghost rider", the maddest wheelie, speedster, cop escape, mad man, ever, GOD!
seriously, check out ghost rider I couldn't wipe the grin off my face for hours...

 

[FIDOSOL]

You can't even tell if he was clutching it or not because of the music, the only way to tell really is from the exhaust note...bummer..

 

[Roccodart440]

He isn't clutching he is stading up on a firbolt. 1st off the pegs are back further

2nd off he is compressing the front suspension both manually and by letting off and then on to the throttle

3rd he is jumping down on the rear pegs

Since he is doing all this he doesn't have to clutch it up.

 

[veeemdoubleu]

never did wheelies like I do now, and i bought a 12r 4 days ago. rode cbrs, ninjas for last 10 years nothing kept me smiling like this one. I feel stupid good riding the damn thing. and no second gear will wheelie just gotta lean back against the passenger seat and preload and snap. scared the crap out of me sometime tho

[chuckanut]

I do it everyday leavin work

 

[Trill]

easy 2nd gear roll ons with my 12ss If I put enough effort into it 3rd gear isn't so hard either.

 

[MillerBuell]

holy fuck'n shit balls... those videos or insane... got my buell few weeks ago. first wheelie i did was insane... first time i did a wheelie in first then shifted to second while still doing the 1st gear wheelie resulting in a even bigger 2nd gear wheelie was by far the most adrenaline rushing thing i've ever done... i literally stopped and pulled over on the road cuz i was shaking so bad... 2 mins later i was golden and back at!!!!

 

[chase12s]

Buells are easy to wheelie because of the short wheelbase. I usually just dump the clutch in second gear around 2500 rpm. You gotta be brave tho. Find you a parking lot preferably with a little crest in the middle.
