KOD--with the cdi box in, anywhere from 15-20mph rolling then punch it from a normal sitting postion the frt end comes right up and power wheelie as far as i have the ballsto. lol charles at the dealer didnt believe me but when i carried it in for the first service i showed him and he had to get everybody at the dealer to come look so they would believe him. it was pretty funny

 

Yeah, I guess so guys, yall have the big dogs right now. Im still in the past with my little ole P650. But, very soon I will be running past the big dogs. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

I have mine in high when I do it. On a side note I test drove a BF today, I liked it, good power, I would like to get to know it a little better if ya know what I mean[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] One thing I noticed was the off idle sputter and dead spot at part throttle, maybe cause it is new or the jetting is tad bit off. I am so used to mine running soooo sweet with the jet kit and filter. I cannot remember if mine ran that way when it was new. Could it be the ignition retard doing that? I popped some wheelies in the grass with it, my buddy is a sales rep at the dealership and he just laughed at me. I would like to take it on some fast paced trails and see how it behaves. I got the feeling on it that I could crawl over anything with it. The suspension felt good, the rear felt good and stiff, power sliding I bet would not be too awkward with it, much better than my bro's SP700. Just my 2 cents, later.

 

First of all, how do you know the KQ does 71 mph when the machine isn't even for sale yet????? Secondly, I would think the v-twin brute would have a better top end than a big single, IMO. I had my 700 prairie at 68.6 by my hand held GPS before I put any mods on it and that was with only about 45 miles on it. Now it is broken in, it is even faster.

 

KOD...the little old 650 can be made into a giant killer.

 

You guys have me beat! I dont think I can wheelie over 5mph. yet

 

Mine wont be a giant killer like yours but it will hold its own for a fair price. AND be reliable.

rivermud, mine will come into a full wheelie at 5mph in low range. In high it comes up about a foot. This is sitting on the seat in a normal riding position and doing nothing but giving WOT WHILE GOING 5mph.

 

I dont think I've tried a rolling wheelie in low. I'll have to check that out.
