I agree Dj....power wheelie would from 3rd up imo....however the bike can only wheelie because of how powerful that motor is........

I know you guys are not into to Harley based bikes much, however I am so how is this for a "power" wheelie??

I agree..our bikes can't power wheelie...you can sometimes float the front wheel in first and sometimes second. But a real power wheelie in my book is using horse power in the higher rev range..our bike need to use the grunt of the lower to mid range. A real wheelie in my book is getting it close t...

does really good power wheelies., :shock: Can we have the definition of "power wheelie" and the definition of "wheelie"?? My definition of wheelie is anytime you bring the front end up for an extended amount of time. My definition of power wheelie....well not every bike can &quo...

You shouldnt hurt anything by push starting your bike. The battery is just not strong enought to turn over the motor once started the charging system will run the bike. If you want to recharge your battery put it on a charger not a tender......a tender just keeps the battery topped off so to speak. ...

That nap thing really worked for me too!! :lol: Since I have been without a bike since Thanksgiving, I have to get my riding muscles back into shape. That was fun...and I know I'm going to catch hell for this but, I'm one of those rare people that likes fruitcakes :P :P You said it not me.....and I...

Randy I never said that the purple spring was gay......just borderline fruitcake.......altought theres nothing wrong with that either.....

By the way it was a great day......after the ride Cami and I came home and took a nap.....it doesnt get any better that!

Wanted to do the same thing to mine, except in blue. How hard was it to accomplish the paint stripe? I put the regular pinstriping on my self, but wasn't trying to get to technical with the rims. Beautiful bike 04R1150R ABS Silver with BMW blue pinstripes I would leave the paint stripe up to a prof...

Well here are the new pics of Mikey's bike with his black powdercoated rims and the handpainted red pinstripe.....they turned out great! Next is the pipes and some misc parts!

Thanks for the info rob! Mikey I'll drop them off at the dealer tomorrow.

Cyclerob,

Great info and pic! A very big help! Any idea how much a set of those bearing cost? And if I were to "bang" thwm out what direction would I go?? Out the left was the way I was thinking but not 100%.
