wheelies

[Blueknyt]

I refer you to a prev post of yours. you seem to imply the GS is fine for wheelies and stunting persay, that one needed to


"Grow some Balls"

Now, i dont know how many times you need to be told someting before it sinks in. let me try it this way:

Dude, like you want to pull Bitchin standups an shaZam! that are like sick an what, Grab cbr,GSXR or R1 or Zx bout 600 or better or a dualsport, cuz these bike have alot of power to muscle the front up without workin the engine too hard and like Not take as much effort to manage.


The GS CAN and HAS Been there and done that, but is bustin balls to do it and needs alot of bandaids when doing it very much. them bandaids get expesive quick and seem to need them alot more often then the bigger bikes.

Mat here thought and talked and argued much the same way you have, He learned the truth of what many have said here and is even telling you much the same thing. hell even trying to be supportive (kudos mat, youve grown buddy)

Now, are we ready to end this and move on with abit of respect to Those who know and what they know, and stop trying to convince everyone that the most important item to doing a wheelie or any stunts to that matter is "Balls" and not the machine's spec's/design.

We alot of members here with Vast amounts of  knowledge and are more then willing to help you with about anything you want to know about your GS or bikes in general (perhaps more) Again, nothing personal but you keep shooting yourself in the foot. maybe you dont like being told your wrong, or your logic is flawed.

anyway, im done, again, no hard feelings. peace!

who ever said i thought the gs is great for wheelies, i said it can be done.  The argument got started when someone acted like the gs wasnt capable and that a sportbike was needed.  get yalls storys straight and read alittle before making up crap that i never said.

you hear that I HAVE GROWN :mrgreen:

Sounds to me like everyone agrees that:

a) The GS500

can do wheelies.

b) There are better bikes out there for the job.

c) It can get expensive no matter what bike you wheelie with[/list:u]Whew!  Glad that's over.  Next topic?

[Mat]

Whew!  Glad that's over.  Next topic?

i like this one :mrgreen:

You're right - there's nothing wrong with the topic itself.

Perhaps I should have said, "Next emphasis?"  Like ... facts about the 35mph wheelies that Frost is interested in.  Stuff like that.

it's a stock bike...

what's so hard about wheeling a gs at 35 mph...it redlines in 1st at ~45 mph and when you clutch it up, it'll go to redline if you keep on the throttle...if you can balance it (get to balance point) you can do at 10 mph wheelie for as long as you want

[cummuterguy]

im 33, was 17 once and survived, your turn.

:lol:    

Good call, blueknyt!  You should make that a signature line...

[Rashad]

It can be done, but the gs doesnt make that much power, so its harder. Im going with a 15 tooth front sprocket...hopefully that will help second gear wheelies..

[davipu]

I wasn't trying to make sence.  now just accept it your a squid.

[Jundie]

[94suzuki500]

davipu,
who are you talking to?

[gs500freak]

I DON'T GET WHY EVERYONE IS SAYIN GET A BETTER BIKE SO U CAN DO WHEELIES. IF U CAN DRIVE U CAN DO A WHEELIE ON ANYTHING. MY BUDDY USED TO RIDE THE HONDA 50'S AROUND THE SHOP ON ONE WHEEL. ANDOTHER DID A 12 O CLOCK STOPPIE ON AN 80 AND HE IS OVER 200LBS. ME I HAVEN'T LEARNED HOW TO GET IT UP ALL THAT GOOD BUT I MEAN ALL U NEED TO DO IS PRACTICE. ALSO SOMEONE EARLIER ON SAID IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT BIKE YOU USE, " IT IS GOING TO GET EXPENSIVE NO MATTER WHAT BIKE YOU USE. i AM STILL TRYIN TO DO WHEELIES ON MY 04, I GOT A 42 TOOTH REAR GETTING MADE FOR ME AND WITH A 15T FRONT. I AM PLANNING ON BUYING MY FRIENDS DADS 91 500E AND GETTIN MAYE A 72 OR SOMEWHERE IN THE 60'S SPROCKET.

awesome Jundie  

[stefman722]

awesome Jundie  

yeah, thats awesome, is it all stock? she must also weight like 90 pounds.

[chinox22x]

never understood why people always get their panties in a bunch  

anyway, yes the gs can wheelie.

my '04 with a 14t front sprocket wheelies on 1st gear at about 8k, not a 12'oclock mind you but high enough for me.

at first it was difficult to gingerly drop it back to the ground but i've almost got it.  i'd say 60% of the time depending on speed i drop it with minimal impact.  

it is a hazard to the chain however, i've noticed a little bit of a sag on my chain and had to readjust it.  

mmk...lets all get our tampons replaced now that the bickering is over.  thanks bubye then.
