There is no such thing as an "accidental wheelie".

I find that hard to believe. I have an 800 and the front end comes up in first gear with great ease. If you're trying to get the wheel off the ground you have to fight off the psychological urge to weight the front end. Just slide your ass back a bit and whack the throttle open. It'll come right up, I guarantee it. Now on my Speed Triple on the other hand....  |

I've only had "accidental wheelies" on my 996. I don't mind them much except when I flog it out of the corner and the front becomes *really* light and I'm still leaned over...

As others have said you really do not need to worry too much about it on the 696. However with proper clutch control and matching of the revs you can get it to wheelie. Now on my 1098 accidental wheelies are the name of the game..........i have scared my self shitless a couple times  |

i get quite a few "accidental" wheelies when i really crack the throttle between 1-3. i came pretty close to looping the bike in ojai when i raced my coworker's GTR, but a simple throttle roll off brought me back down.

My follow up question was gonna be whether a 696 is even powerful enough to have an accidental wheelie. Sounds like it isn't. Nonetheless, I'll keep in mind the things I can do to avoid it.
Thanks for the thoughtful responses.
i dont remember the specs on the 99 M900 but knowing the 696 has 6 more HP and is lighter so i am sure i could do an accidental wheelie like i did one night with the M900. talk about getting punched in the nuts, the tank came right up on me. lesson learned is always roll the throttle not jerk it all the way open! |

The M900 specs were taken at the rear wheel. The 696 is taken at the crank. The 696 does not put out more hp and produces even less torque than a 900. |

You can wheely anything if you try hard enough.
The old carbie 900 Monsters wheelied easier due to available torque.

oh go burst my bubble that i had more HP now. but i did know i had less torque. cc=lb/ft. please tell me it's still lighter or are they using british pounds to measure the weight now  |
