Not sure how he gets the front wheel off the ground with so much weight from his balls of steel. And because I'm pretty ignorant of things mechanical... not sure why around the 1:20 mark they're putting beer in or on the motorcycle. Any ideas besides giving the bike some liquid courage to do an...

Another unusual law taking effect at midnight is Public Act 97-743 in Illinois. This law imposes a fine of $1,000 on anyone who pops a wheelie on a motorcycle while speeding. While this law might upset some motorcyclists, the state is now giving them a free pass to go through red lights...

Lets see the vidio's. I need a bench mark. I watched a vidio of a gen vmax that put me to sham but i cant find it.

Ok i found out how and how not to do wheelis's on the vmax today. Got the first one up about 4 feet high and road it about 20 feet. so i said to myself i can do better and got the 2nd wheelie up about 3/4 of the way and went about 10 feet and let it back down because i was just checking the feel...

with or with out full exhaust?

O.k. so it was my first night running my new turbo bike at the 1/4 mile. Weather was rainy all day then it cleared up and the sun was shining... it was like a sign from God! We loaded up the bike and headed to Cordova (the closest 1/4 mile track) It was not very busy, we got the bike...

Who has brought the front end up (wheelie) for any reason, intentional or unintentional, on a V-Max?

For anyone who has used wheelie bars on a bike, what do I need to do as far as setup, things to check, what to look for, how to launch, etc.... I wasn't going to use them this weekend, but I'm now starting to think about it. I have them mounted to my struts at the bottom and the frame at the...

New to my max here.... Its a 1991 with 53k miles. New tires, front and rear. I have never touched the front forks...yet. They are flush in the triples. At slow speed, high speed, whatever I have no wobbles. The steering stem bearings seem to be in good condition. I do get one slight...

I was out goofing the other day, and did a few wheelies on the max. It was tough though. I would ususally get the rear tire to spin and then a really small wheelie. I'm guessing the tire is just hard. I'll try dropping a few psi next time. any suggestions? oh yeah, stock bike, with stock dunlops

I can go into 2nd gear and get the front wheel up off the ground when leaning forward. It doesn't go straight up in the air....just a couple inches. I haven't been brave enough to lean back a little, because i worry about flipping the bike all the way up. Can anyone else pop a wheelie or...
