Not
ITcan't, but
YOU can't.
Mine comes up a tiny bit at 45mph when I shift into second.
I've gotten my front wheel to lift up about a foot. felt like it could do more though but I'm not experienced enough yet to try it.
were you in first gear??
first gear does it easy for me... 2nd needs a little more work - but it still comes up (BTW - i got a tooth less on the front. My mates gets the front wheel up in 1st on his standard one, but needs a little more effort than mine does).. :icon_mrgreen:
ive got in first gear and all it did is wanted to kick me off the bike lol... i was trying not to laugh....
all i have in the bike is a drop in k&n filter
then how do you do it then ?? cause i did the same thing then how a guy does it with an old 550 and he can only lift it up a few inches off the ground

get the bike up to about 3 - 4k revs then flick the clutch at the same time you rev it to about 7-8k.... should come up without any dramas... :icon_mrgreen:
here's a link . watch them and they will show you it can be done ... and easyly :)

ill get on that when i can.... and brake my neck lol :thumb:
I've seen a guy on a GS pull close to a 12 oclock on a highway onramp. I'm guessing he was in second when he clutched it. you can get the bike to wheelie easily, but it sounded like he revved it pretty high.

look at his rear sprocket . its huge . its moded. i posted my videos because my bike is all stock . stright from the dealer with 2 miles on it :)
it doesn't look that bigger than the one on my 500
it dont take much . go up one tooth or go down one tooth and see how much of a diffrence it makes :)
stupid stunners, tricks are for kids
F*ck, I almost did a back flip on mine. I was at a red light trying to get away from some one I knew, and BAMM, I was at a 90 degree angle. It was 4 days after I got the bike, and I didnt mean to do that
10 MPH roll, clutch it, 8000 RPM, give it a yank, straight up and down, start shifting. I've gotten into 3rd on mine. Forks sure bottom hard when it comes down, though. Almost looped it a couple of times. Keep your foot on the rear brake, if it starts to go over backward, lean on the brake lightly. If you stomp on it, you will hit your face on the handle bars. You're not really in trouble until the taillight hits, and even then, you might be able to save it.
the bike will def. wheelie. look in the picture section and im in there doin wheelies.
ui actaully tried a wile ago and i could, but my dad sure did. he put me to shame again. :cry:
Dude...get on the bike in first gear, get romming about 5mph, whack the throttle open, hang on.
im not a wheelie fan, i rather do something original on the bike, like doing push ups wile riding.

we're all kids at heart arn't we?? :icon_mrgreen: :icon_mrgreen:
Have you tried bouncing it up? Stand up and put your weight on the pegs while in the strongest part of first gear (i don't gave a gs so I don't know what that is) to get a little bounce and when the forks rebound snap the throttle open.Thats how I learned because dumping the clutch in first on my bike will get me looped.
cool thanks guys ill sherly try some of your tricks !!! and if she doesnt lift well thats too bad ..... dont really care just want to c if shes able to do it !!!! :thumb:
yes where all kids at heart :) . i dont look at my rpm's when i pull it up its all feel . i feel thats the best way to do it . cuz if your looking at your tac. while your trying to pull it up and bam it comes up and your all scared .. work on it . do small cluch work then do a bigger one and so on tell you feel your ready for it :)
i tried it last night and she maybe lifted off the ground a foot for a second lol
