Making the bike more wheelie-able
#11
While BBC's, re-ordering components, clutch dumps, and aboriginal dances could help.. How bout increasing your power output - Perhaps start with finishing off the MCM retime. Leave the ACR off the bike..

331 BB with stock SF gearing 14/39. Throttle power wheelie 1st, blip throttle wheelie 2nd & clutch up 3rd. With a 13T sprocket the bikes front end gets really light & saucy. It's all about having the confidence to blatt it straight up onto the balance point & keep it there.

thanks for all the advice..
even with full mcm it wont differ much..
only way is to fit a bb kit but here its kind of expensive to get one..
so i thought that if i am thinking of this much investments its time to move on to a stronger bike.. considerating the drz400 or wr250r
too bad i need to dump the green. i like it.

practice
I suck at wheelies and have never gotten to the balance point, yet. I only have the cheap mods on my stock size 250 and even with 15x39 gearing I can get my front wheel up beyond my comfort zone. I just need more practice and you probably do too. There may be safety in having to learn with a less powerful engine where throttle only wheelies are not the norm. With 14/13x43 the front is easy to clutch up. I intend to get a full set of body armor and with my knobbie wheel set really learn on dirt first then apply that learned skill to pavement. They have offroad riding schools near me. I may do that to steepen the learning curve and suffer less, like I didn't do when I tried snow skiing. I suffered several hours before I got that going.
