let the bashing begin but honest to god question:
what gear do you guys like to go airborn in? 1st? 2nd?
Before i continue let me say i dont condone stunting on public roads, and always wear your gear. So anyway, the reason I ask is because I've been getting slightly more curious to the limits of my bike. I had an encounter where I really romped first gear and the front end lifted up. So - for the past year or so I've been practicing slipping the clutch here and there. Its a fantastic feeling, but first gear only seems to have enough umph to get it up, not to keep it up.
And 2nd gear seems like in order to hit the sweet spot, I'd have to be doing 60mph - which to be honest scares the piss out of me. So, my question is what gear is your favorite gear to wheelie in? Anything above 3rd seems downright impossible (for me).
Any other tips, suggestions, and experiences are welcomed because from what I understand - the FZ is not the easiest to wheelie with. So I would just like to hear from experienced riders any tips or suggestions.
Again please no bashing, only under controlled situations on private lots do I support exploring your curious side.
Thanks for any input.
