wheelie....

depends on if your on a 600 or 1200, the 12 should come up pretty easily regardless, the 6 is a little trickier, one down in the front may do it...but whatever you do, if your looking to do wheelies, youll wanna go UP in the rear, not down.....also a piece of advice...on a B6, powering a 6 up on throttle is next to impossible, but heres a couple of little tricks to it
1 is you can clutch it up, by bringing your rpm's up in 1st gear the dumping your clutch you can bring it up, but be careful, too much rpm and youll be laying flat on your back, start in first rolling at about 4 mph get the rpms up to about 1800 then dump the clutch, see what it does...adjust the rpm to come up smoothly, and remember your bodyweight can affect this greatly.
the other way is get the bike rolling (4-14 mph) then blip the throttle <let off the gas quickly) as soon as the forks attempt to start expanding (coming back up , they should do this fast) give it some gas, this is the way i stand mine up and it works pretty well, B6's are hard to keep up stock, you have to work on your body balance to keep it up, once its up.. the wheelie is going to depend on YOUR balance more than throttle positioning.
Above everything else remember, 12 o'clocks are something that take a lot of time, patience and nuts to pull off, don't rush it, be cautious and persistant, respect your bike or find disrespect from the asphalt.

with it being a 1200 you shouldnt have a problem doing wheelies with stock gears, its just an issue of practice,practice rolling the throttle like i said in the last reply and you shouldnt have a problem getting it up

To get what you're after, you can go down in the front, and/or up in the rear.

Roughly speaking, a -1T change front = +3T in the rear.

And to the other guy, if you have a gen2 bandit, you should have came stock with a 14t or 15t front but your rear WAS a 47....


I thought so.  Thanx.   :grin:

Hey Kiley:

I went up 1 tooth in the rear (15-46)  and I am very happy with this combo.

I do a fair bit of highway travelling so I was a little leary about going 1 tooth down in the front or 3 in the rear.

Wheelies just fine.

I changed my mind!

I have gone back to the stock 15-45 combo, as I did find that the 15-46 took away from where I did most of my riding. I found the bike just a little busy at highway speeds, and in not a nice way. It increased my RPM about 600 at highway cruise.

This combo would have been ok if I did most of my riding around town.

I have the 15/45 on my 98 Bandit, I have a new 16 tooth front sprocket, If the chain is long enough, I am going to put it on when I change tires later this week.
If I didn't have a Suzuki, I would have a Kawasaki
