mono=one, one wheel.  The gs can pull it at 30.  you can easily flip it under 20.  i dont think your staying on the gas.  Cover the rear brake and just clutch it at higher rpms each time.  And stay on the gas.

A friend of mine in law school got mono.  He went to the doctor and came back with a pamphlet that read, "So You Got MONO!"  

That was our catch phrase for the next six months. . .

yeah if you are having a difficult time getting it up, maybe you should go to the doctor.

Many say that you'll keep it up longer if you keep your arms straight.  Bending your arms will move you weight forward and lower the front of the bike.  

(Disclaimer: the author of this post does not recommend riding wheelies.  Riding wheelies, in its various forms, is an inherently dangerous activity and should only be done under the supervision of a professional).

If you're having trouble getting it up or keeping it up maybe you could try playing around with it a little first. Love the Baby G and the forum.

I've heard that a petcock-pump works good too.  Just don't pump too hard or you'll suck the kreem right through the tip of your petcock and have a big mess on your hands... or wherever else it goes.  Just make sure you do this in the garage, or in the woodshed, whichever is darker.

hey,

I have the F model with a 15t front sprocket and i can get it up at 11oclock all the time. Dont use the cluth, you dont need it. I never use the cluth, very bad for it, just stay in 1st, and pull up when you give it gas. It goes so high sometimes i have to tap out out of fear of going over, haha. I am going to make video clips either tonight or tomorrow during the day. I want night time though, looks cooler, and ill post it up sometime this week to show you guys how high i can go.  :cheers:
