I have a 02 cbr600fi and it was lowered about 2 to 3 inches i can get the front wheel up in 1st by cracking the throttle or by poping the clutch with no problem but in 2ed it don't want to come up as much. I'm just wandering if it is harder to pull a wheelie on a lowered bike than a stock bike?

Yes it is harder, not impossible tho

I'm thinking about raising back it stock..the bike sets to low fore me I bought it off a short lady.

my GF's bike is lowered an inch. and i cant believe how easy it comes up. its all technique. learn on an RR and any bike is easy to wheelie! lol


ps...best thread name ever. hahahaa

Sprocket13: is the front lowered as well as the rear? If its just the rear thats lowered thats why....but if she uses it for more daily riding and canyon stuff as opposed to stunts, you may want to lower the front, it will make it steer more neutrally. (as opposed to one end wanting to come around the other)

bikes lowered inch all the way around. shes only like 5'3 lol. she needs it. still tippy toes it.

I would say get used to your brand new 06' first (unless your pro) before starting to wheelie it..Don't want another post in the crash, boom, bang section about a 2 week old rr down...

But to answer your question...It's a little harder than other bikes because of the mass centralization (that word doesn't look write, and like other things I probably spelling wrong, lol)...Take it slow and ride safe..

As far as I know you can't just lower the rear, besides being wrong your handlebars will hit the air ducts.

Raise it up. Unless u need the bike lowered because u are short, it's absolutely unnecessary.

Um, that totally screws with the geometry of the bike. There is NOTHING "works fine" about that.

 

[sproket13]

shes not a real rider. she just wants a bike. i wouldnt do it and i agree with you....fucks up the handling. lowering a bike is BITCH period. why would you do it.
