Really though...  Do what you want with your GS...  Just remember that plastic is expensive.

For anyone who's interested, a short cliip of a GS wheelie.

That was straight clutching it up, no bouncing or any fancy crap. I can do them a little longer than that, but just till the end of first gear.
When spring rolls around I wanna learn shifting into second while on one, and slow stand ups (basically finding the balance point)

Also planning to get some track time in this summer 

Awsome!
From what i hear, when people shift in a wheelie, they do it clutchless...

yes I know, thats why I havn't tryed it yet. I'm gonna get speed shifting down first (on two wheels), then take it to one wheel.

It's pretty easy to do it...  And it only takes timing and a quick wrist to be good at it.

Sometimes I still screw up the shift, but most of the time it's so fast you can't even tell I shifted.

from what I under stand is that its just;
roll off the throttle just a touch, give a strong swift kick up to the shifter and pull back on the throttle.
I've also heard that it wears out the doggs

What I do (and what I was told to do) is to put slight shift pressure on the shifter and blip the throttle real quick...

It works pretty well...  When you get the RPMs up, the bike wants to shift...  Just a little pressure and a real quick throttle blip... BAM!!!  It shift...

Yeah... I've heard it wears it out too...  Just don't do it all the time I guess.

Oh yeah... Don't down-shift that way... BAD!!!

when I get my bike back out I'll have to try that.
I'll post pics and video's of my wheelies and what not when I get better at them... for anyone who's interested that is.

? go?  go where?

where headed out to big bend ,texas i posted up a texas ride and got a good response so now where up to about 6 ppl i seen we just got another new gs500 in the central texas area maybe he will want to join us .. where going on march 17th suppose to be pretty good . one of the guys from work went out there one weeked and said river road was pretty dang curvy so i have to go .. so i figured i would see who wants to join me

Ha ha that's funny, there's a street in Toronto called 'River St' and it's also a really nice curvy down hill run. a lil short though.

i'm gonna grab someone to take a quck video shot of me doing a wheelie

Nice! can't wait to see it

ok well i have videos i just have to wait for putfile to get off there mantin. deal so i can uplaod there .. there not to bad

Cool I'd like to see them. When you go to upload on putfile, and it says that you cannot because they're doing maintenance, try pushing refresh afew times. It worked for me the other day. 

ok ok ok ok here we gooo !!!
this one is the best stand up one i think http://media.putfile.com/standing54


another stand up . but kinda of a bad angle http://media.putfile.com/standing231

sitting down . it was really windy today so take that in to account ! http://media.putfile.com/stitting43

yet another . but i got a little brave and desided to try and take my hand off to point to the camra ... bad choice on a windy day ! http://media.putfile.com/sitting2

hope you enjoy !!

Is that the stock exhaust? Sounds pretty good... Nice wheelies!
