pick up increase was noticable.. it wheelied pretty easy before.. i never really tried 2nd and 3rd gear wheelies (starting out in those gears) before i did it. now i do them all the time.

Hunter, are your wheelies power only? I just ordered chain and sprockets (race kit) yesterday and when I asked the guy how many teeth I was going up in the back, he said about 4 or 5 with the front the same. images/icons/shocked.gif What's up with that?

yes, power only.. well, using the suspension to help by bouncing it up, but i'm not using any clutch.

4 or 5??? wtf. that's too much.

i would assume that the OP got this sorted since the thread is from 2001.
