Klotz Posted December 25, 2003 Author Report Posted December 25, 2003 is there any thing else that i can do...just some tips or somethign thanks again shane Quote
Blue Duece Posted December 25, 2003 Report Posted December 25, 2003 i learned along time ago by snapping it up then pulling in my clutch and trying to balance to a stop after a while i can pull it up and blip my throttle to keep my balance, shift and accelerate....you just pratice slow and find the balance point if you start to go over just lean forwardj just try not to pinn it to get it up....snap it up ,pull in the clutch and try to balance it helps for good acceration wheelies too Quote
Klotz Posted December 25, 2003 Author Report Posted December 25, 2003 hey i think thst should help im gonna go out right now and give her a try..evenb thoguh there is some snow..thanks agina..and ne more info then please let me in thanks shane!!! Quote
trippy Posted December 26, 2003 Report Posted December 26, 2003 there is only one real way to pull whellies on a banshee and that is by putting your feet on the rear bar behind the seat and standing up as the front wheels lift, works every time Quote
ScreaminShee01 Posted December 26, 2003 Report Posted December 26, 2003 no man c'mon you gotta ride them... no standin on the back, thats cheap Quote
Blue Duece Posted December 26, 2003 Report Posted December 26, 2003 no man c'mon you gotta ride them... no standin on the back, thats cheap and if your not goin to shift it's kinda pointless.......ride it like a two wheeler, snap it up, sit down and relax and just try to balance for as long as you can.......

Banchetta Posted December 27, 2003 Report Posted December 27, 2003 Its all in the balance, throttle, brake, and control......Practice son, practice, you'll get it.....Deuce is right about the -2 swingarm, makes wheelies a lot easier and less angle....I wouldn't suggest the foot in the wheelie bar, especially for training....go back too far and your foot gets kicked out from the ground and now your running after your shee or draggin behind it from the handlebars..... Also the high rev pipe will make it harder w/ the sudden hit of powerband..... Quote
Klotz Posted December 27, 2003 Author Report Posted December 27, 2003 thanks guys/.....yeah i hopped on my frieds ex last night and was doing awesome but on the banshee i cant do them..yeah the high rev pipes dont help..but also i weigh 135 and i spin so much..well thanks agin for the help see yeha shane Quote
low900rr Posted December 28, 2003 Report Posted December 28, 2003 Blue Deuce, thats pretty impressive riding wheelies on a banshee at 125mph. What gearing are you running to go that fast??? Your the man. LOL Quote
trippy Posted December 28, 2003 Report Posted December 28, 2003 [and if your not goin to shift it's kinda pointless.......ride it like a two wheeler, snap it up, sit down and relax and just try to balance for as long as you can....] when your standing on the back you can still have your left hand free so just lean down and grab the shift leaver no clutch neccessary, warning this does start to get scary in 5th gear Quote
raxen Posted December 28, 2003 Report Posted December 28, 2003 I have seen this method before, crazy stuff but makes for a killer wheelie if you are a smooth shee operator. Quote

Your the man. LOL well actually Low, its quite simple really, its not my gearing, it's my throttle, most throttles stop at ten, mine goes to eleven...... Quote
raxen Posted December 28, 2003 Report Posted December 28, 2003 Blue Duece, I have been meaning to ask you; What type of time, distance does it take you to get to 125mph? I remember reading the build on that engine and it was very impressive back then. Quote
