I am not exactly light ....my 630 now power wheelies in 3rd with a small pull on the bars and in 4th...and a huge bar pull and seat bounce gets the front pointing upwards in a hury . the FMF pipe/jd jetting/air box mod did wonders!..almost forgot .... 15/45 gearing KP
I told you i was in 4th gear that morning!! You don't believe me!? Ye Of little faith! Its like making hot apple pie...ingredients:diet of rice and cold water, 14t front sprocket, JD box, FMF powercore4, clean air filter. I'm calling Mythbusters! They will say "Confirmed"!!
This morning on the way to work I ripped a wicked 5th gear power wheelie while I passed a honest polititian riding a unicorn.
you can't hind behind your wierd avatar! i know where live...and i know your real name. I will tell my grandchildren about the 4th gear wheelies...and they will tell their grandchildren!
Oh yea, a modded TE630 can wheelie in fourth gear. Will the front wheel come up without trying like a GSXR1000 or CR500?? No way but it can and will do it with ideal conditions and an experienced rider.
Wired up a spare Powerlet lead I had today. Made a mount out of sheet aluminum, mounted to handguard bracket. Now I can keep the backlight on "high" on my GPS!
I can't wait to kiss my BMW good-bye. The heated grips were nice, and I have become spoiled. Hopefully these Moose heaters work alright. I don't think they can compare to the beemer, though. Time will tell.
I have the heated grip inserts on my TE and while they are not quite as good as the heated grips on my GSA, they work surprisingly well. I put heat shrink on the non-throttle bar end and used two throttle side grips. The heat-shrink insulates the element from the bar and keeps the warmth in the grip. The hi/lo switch went into the side of the Lynx fairing, but I'm thinking of changing it out to one of the variable controllers.
http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=10150443127303949 Two lil wheelies, both "launched" in 4th, no clutch. Really, are 4th gear wheelies so odd on these???? I know mine is an old 08 610 with just PU and 14-45, but even I can rip 4th gear wheelies no problem and now that I'm getting decent at it can usually grab and kepp it up through 5th..
