Dry clutch+wheelies=?????

[the_Journeyman]

I can wheelie my TS185 (17HP) but i can't seem to wheelie my 900SS or my M750 on command.  It's weird.

only wheelie i've done on a street bike was total accident and racked myself.

  Change the sprockets on the 900 to 14-43, it will come up every time you twist the throttle.

That's a great idea!

I was able to power wheelie my old  M900ie with clipons in 2nd with a 14/41 combo. . .

Make sure when you wheelie you try to hold it as long as possible, like a quarter mile. The Duc engines really like this.

A quarter mile would hardly be trying now would it..?

I do understand the oil starvation issues involved and like i said i have a stunt bike for the more serious stuff... Just wanna have a little fun while riding the streets

dont like to wheelie every time i do have to spend 45 minutes scrubbing clean the inside of my leathers.

I was SHOCKED to see that in the wheelie pic, you have on an ICON jacket and helmet DNA! So out of character for the Stunta crowd! lol

Big long wheelies on the S4R... Keep an eye on the oil light... The 996 series engines had an issue with oil starvation with extended time at attitude.

Barnett clutch will get smoked in a day.. worst of the bunch, try Sure Flex. More money, but well worth it.

Exhibit A of why I hesitate to buy used bikes.

I've had 2 sets of Barnett plates on my track/race 749 - both lasted 1 track day. I've gone back to original Ducati plates. At least I know what to expect from them. Barnett plates for Ducati don't like abuse

Kinda hard to miss frame cracks and leaking suspension forks.

[ozzys4r]

AHHH pfft nothing a little crazy glue and chewing gum wont fix

[zooom]

I used to wheelie my old 01 M900ie all the time without a problem...all power, no clutching...I had a 15/40 set-up on it...that bike had almost 30K miles on it when I gave it to the ex cause she wanted it over the track bike...forks were still straight and not leaking and no starvation issues to speak of...

doin it with my Gran Canyon takes a bit more work as it is a lil down on HP in comparo to the Monster and a good bit heavier...so it takes being committed to it when I do it...scares the ever livin poop out of my GF when I do it....

I'll second that!!  The Barnett's are a waste of money. Had a set in a M900 and a 999. Both didn't last for beans. The Ducati plates are more expensive but worth it.

I don't do clutch up wheelies ... the shortest amount of time a Barnett dry clutch lasted me was 30,000 miles. 

Though yes, use the clutch to do wheelies and it won't last 3000 miles. No excuse for anyone to trash a great brand name, though.
