Holy torque Batman! Too Freaking Cool! As a non-wheelie guy, does the xb's torque make these stunts easier for these guys to do than it would be on a 600 I-4?

Excellent video! Good stunters wearing proper gear too. I like it! |

I was sure that one stoppie was going to end badly but what great control! Ditto ALL the above comments! |

KC, As you can see the drive is stock on those XB's generally a stunter of an I-4 puts a huge sproket on the bike, makes it easier to do the 1/2 mile-an-hour wheelies easier. And most stunters dont use a 600, usually looking at a liter bike. Very nice though! Craig |

It looked and sounded like they were pulling wheelies just by rolling on the throttle I've not yet been able to do this |

I'd love to learn to do that!!! Just too chicken! I've been told to learn on a dirt bike. I think I'll gain proficiency that way in the sand before I try it on the street! Oh yes, and the wheelie bars, good idea... Thanks for the link. I get a thrill just watching! Charles |

Did my first stoppie (endo) on the weekend.... Felt like my rear wheel was five foot in the air! BUT I am reliably informed it was more like a foot and a half! |

Xb9r43, get on it to 2500-3000 in first gear, let off, then back on again while sitting far back on the seat. OH, she'll climb! |

Using 2nd gear works better, once you get it up, it's not so jerky. always keep your foot over the brake pedal, so you can tap it, to bring you back down. I stand, bounce the front end while wacking the throttle open...

Can anybody tell me why I can only get the audio file from this site? What do I need to do to get the video? Thanks, Fuzz |

Gonen - do you use the clutch in 2nd? I haven't been able to life the front end successfully in 2nd without a lot of clutch fanning. |
