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)..

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...

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 

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. 

Dude...get on the bike in first gear, get romming about 5mph, whack the throttle open, hang on.
