Hey I just learned good standups on the gs with a 14t sprocket in 2nd gear and can stay up for about a minute but only stay up for at most 15 seconds. The only thing im concerned about is my carbs not getting gas while the bike is in the 10 o'clock position. Video to come soon.
Any feedback appreciated.

Stand up wheelies, I also forgot to mention I only weigh 120lbs and have been racing motocross since I was 9.
I believe he was perplexed by the comment: "and can stay up for about a minute but only stay up for at most 15 seconds."
by that, do you mean that you are capable of holding the wheelie for about a minute, but that you choose to sustain it for a maximum of 15 seconds?
Yeah, down a good hill on my RM125 I can go for as long as the road goes with my engine OFF. Give me a parkinglot thats large enough and I'll do circles for half an hour on the RM. But on the GS given the highway is straight enough or slight turns but banked I think I could go for a minute.
On a standup wheelie I would say I have more directional control than a sit down wheelie once the bike is in the 10 o'clock position.

Yeah it's real easy on dirtbikes. I can go ages in the air with my CR250R.
Thats great and all but it still doesn't answer my question, will my carbs get starved for gas while the bike is in the 10 o'clock position of a wheelie.
i think your engine will starve of oil too...
not only will the carbs lean out but the oil will tend to slosh to the rear of the tranny and make it much easyer for the oilscreen to suck air.
hey what do you top out at with a 14t front sprocket? i am down to a 15t and i am thinking about going from a 39t rear to a 49t or as low as a 45t. i started to do a standup wheelie also, i am able to ride at almost 12 o'clock and i get a good 60 to 70 ft. i'm in first gear i have kind of got it when switching gears. i know alot of people in hear think it is pointless but i am turning my bike into a stunts bike. i got grip tape on the tank soe i can do a tank wheelie. i have got it up a lil, but it is hard with the lack of tourque and power. hey if u ever get a chance send me a message rclz maybe i can get your email. maybe we can get pics of us doing stunts. i am trying to get some of me on my 04 500f.
go to page 7 and 9 in the wall of fame. i have two pics in there on those pages.
