I have seen some videos of a sp-500 in low range doing wheelies, It looked like he was just sitting down doing nothing specail...

The 500 we used to have was hard to wheelie.....had to stand on the rack and pull and gun it.

The Kawi 650's though.....now that's a different story!

I heard that with a Dalton or Heelclicker clutch kit you can get them up in high range with a little work. And in low they will come up real easy. Just what I heard.

My buddy is 6'4" and about 230 lbs and he can wheely his 2001 Sports 500. He really has to pull it up from a standstill but it definitely will come up. I think the front end is pretty heavy so finding a balance point is tough.
