Sorry man I didn't mean for you to get butt hurt by me sayin that street triples don't power wheelie lol and I'm not considering mods because someone could do ANYTHING to their bike, turbo it or change the gearing and it would power wheelie for sure. Also I've ridden a street triple, and its the reason I bought a speed triple. And also, congratulations on being small

A power wheelie is what you see racers do coming off the corners. They are not trying to wheelie, quite the opposite, but the raw power and torque simply lifts the tire off the ground. That, is the definition of a power wheelie in my mind. My street will indeed, lift the front tire when I'm full on at between 9000-10000 rpm in both 1st and 2nd without me trying. This is a power wheelie, torque alone is lifting the tire off the ground not a sudden application of additional "power" by the aid of the clutch (clutch-up). We can agree to disagree, but that should clarify what I mean by "power-wheelie".

I agree with your description, but I just thought u were saying the tire was just gettin light and skippin before

I see you are just as interested in being civil here as you are on the S3 forum.

No appologies needed, you are simply wrong

Not the first time I have felt that D6rider313 is a member whose posts are uninformative. Close to trolling.

"butt hurt"? Doesn't 4Chan have a motorcycle subforum you could be posting on?
