Hello Andy,
Are there any wheelie experts out there. I've had quite a few bikes and
never had much problems with wheelies, especially trail bikes. However,
the @ seems very reluctant to stand on its back wheel.

How to wheelie ??
Take the Twin out for a ride.
In first gear drive around the 3000 rpm.
Close the throttle, open it again and pull the steer.
Normaly the bike lifts the front wheel untill you close the throttle.
If you try some, you even can shift a few gears. One guy over here shifts even to the 4th gear.
I myself don't shift more than ones, but wheelie quiet a lott.
This has also to do with the modifications I did.
I ones wheelied until the rear mudguard almost touched the ground. But I have to tell you that this wasn't my intention and it realy scared me that moment.
But without the modifications it is easy to wheelie.
Be carefull with the clutch.
If you often lett it lose in order to throw all the power onto the wheels at once, you can damage the clutch...
