hey shifting is easy in a wheelie I can go through the gears also. but no need to when you can get it up in 4th.

z838, hdo u power shift or use ur clutch when u shift in a wheelie. with my blaster evertime i was in a wheelie and tried shifting i would pull the cluth and shift to second and when i let out the clutch i would go back so hard and hit my grab bar. the rear brake is very natural to me now and i rarely hit the grab bar on anything. i like slow controlled wheelies, but how do u shift ur z, o and how do u like your ct pipe, can u give me some info on that too. thanks

I gained on the dyno 6hp with the ct pipe which I was impressed with it. It seemed to give it great mid and top end power not really feeling like alot of speed but I did notice power increase. As for shifting when you wheelie never never use the clutch. can you power shift if you can then just do the same thing as that in the wheelie but be smooth its all about being smooth.

well the first service on an av is due at 10hrs srk Its all stuff that can be done easily, its an iol change, adjusting everything, re torquing all the bolts because they come loose, and alot of little things not to hard to do takes a shop 1-2 hrs depends on the shop, that is usually what they charge anyway. Rider 1169 the a-arms were about 650, shocks 1100, axle 400 brake lines 100 front and 37 for the rear. That is all the retail prices I work at a dealership so I dident pay that but that is I think what the retail prices are Im not to sure I dont work in the parts dept. Im a salesman there. Ill look it up for you for retail prices but im not to sure.
