|  Power Wheelies...not that i would do that...
I'm just curious, I have wheelied this bike in 2nd but never by simply twisting the throttle...i need to use the clutch but i can get it a few feet in the air. I live at 3-4000 ft so im losing a lot of HP i know, but i was wondering if my bike is detuned at all...i saw there were a couple of montana boys here...can you guys power wheelie? is it the elevation preventing me or my bike specifically? its only got 19000 miles and i just got her tuned up...plus shes got a K&N...of course i never just peg the throttle, it seems like a good way to lose traction, I always roll on even when im in a hurry (btw ive got dunlop touring tires which dont grip as well) anyway...this is my first post so i should also say hello i guess...Hello!

but you're here, aren't you? you may become quite used to the folks here. or, like myself, addicted to the point of dysfunctionality.
