Hey. Ive heard things about pulliing wheelies might be harmfull for the engine. Is that true? I heard engine cant get oil while pulling a wheelie? Answer please?!
Buells use a dry sump oil system, perfect for prolonged wheelies. :wink:Lockers_Au said:No.... the 03's will still run out of oil. The pickup location is the same, the gallery is just slightly larger, so it won't be depleted of oil quite as fast. I still wouldn't recommend prolonged wheelies. Buy a gixxer if that's what you want.... Or a VTR.

Rode my bro's XB12R on Sunday, and they are perfect for it... Lots of power and torque on hand... I just couldn't get over how well it handled.Novadesigns said:AvidSV650Rider said:Buells use a dry sump oil system, perfect for prolonged wheelies. :wink:Lockers_Au said:No.... the 03's will still run out of oil.

Yeah, you know that wheelie school I found online uses Buells.![]()
I like this method or a second gear blip (kinda). Start, shift from first to second, build power to the top of the torque curve, off the throttle all the way and back on full throttle. If done at the correct time in the torque curve and smoother enough and fast enough- it will come up. Do not pull and make sure you are in a regular riding position. Scooting forward or leaning down will make it more difficult. On the SV this will only work when accelerating moderately strong from stop > first > second > blip > up. Don't know why you can't downshift to second and then blip > up; it just doesn't seem to work. Someone more scientific will need to explain.Morpheous said:The SV will do a roll on wheelie in 1st gear no problem,,,,,just scoot back on the seat crack the throttle from like 10-15 mph and up she comes,,,,,Im a big guy and it is no issue with my 03 650. (cover the rear brake during manuver) get it high enough and shift to second. its an easy wheelie machine.. good luck. Save your clutch.
The key is not to pull with your arms neccessarily, lean back and straighten them out, let the bike do the work, you just balance it with the throttle....
I belive it has something to do with your rear suspension compressing on the hard acceleration. <--this coming from some one who cant figure how to do one.StinkWhistle said:Don't know why you can't downshift to second and then blip > up; it just doesn't seem to work.
