    wheelies

    I have a 1984 200ES, and its hard or almost impossible to do a wheelie UNLESS I really pull the front handle bars up.. while on the throttle of course
    ANYWAYS my buddy has a 200ES also and can easily do wheelies.. why?

    Sit as far back on the seat as you can and lots of throttle in first gear.....that should do it. The other way is to put one knee on the seat and lean back with lots of throttle in first gear.

    a. Because his is really a stroker engine.

    b. Because he is simply better at it than you.

    c. Because he weighs 75 lbs less than you.

    d. All of the above.

    Oh absolutely. That makes perfect sense.

    To the OP, it ain't the bike. It's you.

    Does your engine smoke? Maybe low on compression. Lots of factors that make a 30 year old motor not as powerful as it once was. His might have recently got rebuilt. Maybe an oversize piston. Who knows.

    Or not enough practice. Give me an 84 Big Red with 60 lbs of compression and a clutch that doesn't exist and I'll still have it pointed at the sky. The mechanical advantage that motor has in first gear is ridiculous and enough to compensate for a clapped out engine.
