any one know the best way to wheelie on a banshee? I have wheelied on machines befour but all were 4-stroke and in first gear there jsut a little gas and up on two wheels. I rather not have to dump the clutch or rev the crap out of it so if any one knows the best way and gear for a banshee wheelie it would be apreciated.

 

its all in the rider, but 2nd and 3rd IMO, crack it to get it up then when u hit a balance point stay in the mid rpms or it will fling up on you, 1st is a little harder, like doing 12 oclock wheelies on a shee can be tricky in first but in 2nd-6 you can walk it throught the gears, go on youtube and this guy has a movie doing , 12 oclock wheelies, highchairs, and long *** wheelies

 

ok thank you

 

Depending on your mods, you could probably cruise along in 2nd or 3rd gear and then double-clutch it and hit the gas to bring the front end up. Once you get it up you just have to pat the gas and let off every few seconds to keep the front end up and to keep it at it's balance point. It's way more difficult and hairy than walking a 4-stoke, and just keep your foot near the back brake pedal and be ready to hit it if it goes back too far. Not trying to be your Mom, but I saw my experienced wheelie-king buddy one time almost total a guy's Banshee while doing a wheelie, so be careful.

Sounds like what happend to my bro. He bought a 'Shee from a guy I went to school with. It was all stock so he put a set of toomy's on it. Well, we seen the guy out one day and he was known for being able to ride wheelies forever on the thing so bro told him jump on and show everybody. Needless to say he was suprised at the power that the Toomy's added and it came over on top of him. He got out of the way but it busted a headlight out. He told my brother, and I quote "I'd feel bad IF I didn't own it first." We died laughing when he said that.

 

When you hit the pwr ban in first gear just gun it and keep it up and keep your foot by the back brake

 

thank you all very much.

 

i feel that 4th and 5th are the most comfortable gears, if you just cruisin along in 4th and not in the power band but you know its there almost, then pin it and sit your *** back in one motion, be sure your foot is instantly ready though, you dont want to go to far back, it is hairy in 4th or 5th but its when i have traction to get a chance to wheelie
