Yep, the urine mixes with the thermo-chemical reaction of the tire on pavement causing additional grip thus lifting the front up... How do you think I can wheelie a Katana. But seriously, how long have you been riding?

in 2nd gear, try dropping the clutch at about 5k, if nothing happens, try 5.5k, and so on.

shit, i say if its your first attempt go all out. Turn around on the bike and place butt on fuel tank. While in first gear put your feet on passenger seat. Rev the bike to you hear the motor bouncing the revs (since its hard to see the tach facing backwards we have to do it this way), in one solid motion drop throttle for split second, grab clutch, open throttle all the way, and drop clutch.

G/L and you'll find out why your sitting backwards on the bike momentarily (hint: Use your feet to catch yourself)

This should be a great deal of help to all those begginers and good luck just remember to do it on a closed road with full gear and remember that there is a rear brake for a reason especially in the case of fucking up a wheelie and going to far.

oh and w/ the 1st gear is a bad idea.... just acclerate in 1st and wrap the throttle and feel the balance point.... thats the safest way not clutching it and loading the suspesion....
