: bunny hops during a wheelie?

yup!
I was out control riding for my brother over the weekend and when there was a nice straight with little cross wind I would break out of the control ride and let it loose.

my bro said that every time I shifted when i a wheelie the bike would hop in the air (he was actually able to see about 4" or more of air at times) and when it landed it left a foot or so of black and would smoke up big time as the whole rear end wiggled at first and then stabalized while I rode that gear out.

fricken lil 600 wheelies just like my friends g1k. awesome.
now that I have a 15t front sprocket on it it stays in the b.p. a bit better and I've gotten up to 4th but the roads would run out. I was getting up to 135mph in third. :twisted:

bunny hops in a wheelie. funny. he can't stop talking about getting a helmet cam to vid some of the crazy stuff he sees.

it took me a while to get down shifting near b.p. with GP shifting but I got it now!

I didn't know you went to GP with the new rearsets 8)

How do you like it? I know I'll never want to regular shift again.

love it. only goofy thing is going back and forth from the rr to the klr. kinda have to let it go and let it happen. if I think about it I make a booboo at times and downshift instead of upshift.

clutchless up shifting and downshifting is WAY more easy.

it took me about four or five different settings of the shifter until I found my sweetspot to where when I up shifted mid wheelie that I wouldn't lurch it too bad and get slammed to the back of my seat. (I'm a tank hugger)

that's kindo of why I'm bunny hopping because I twitch the throttle at times when near redline and close as heck to b.p. and once I get the right lift and angle I shift it into the next gear. To me in the saddle I feel the hop but it felt more like me slapping the chain up and down from my throttle blips and not hopping it.

cool thing is I can bunny hop it on demand. especially if I soften up the rear preload. :D hehehehe
