haha, those two guys in that first clip, on the track.
If I can just plan a few more bends in to my journey to work, I'll have it.

Seriously tho? I might get only a little bit enthusiastic from lights.
The lights to bends ratio is poor on my car filled commute.
I get a bit cautious tho, scared of going over, as the 'bail out' technique used by me on my pushbike is to jump off the back, lol. ;)
Can't really do that on me XT. so Little first gear ones for me...
I like the idea of a couple of ya mates holding the front of the bike up, to get a 'feel' of the balancing point. but it's the 'feel' of the floor if I fall off that makes me not really try too hard.
...and the Drifting stuff looks crazy fun,
but where could I ever learn to do that safely, (except on a track I guess)
and how do you learn to do the wheelie whilst sitting on your tank with your feet over the handlebars, spinning round on the spot?. er?
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT.

i loved my sportbikes at the time but lookin back wish i got a supermoto years back,those clips truely amazing .All these years ive been tucking in to overtake when i should have been lifting the front wheel,you learn something new every day http://www.xt660.com/images/icons/icon7.gif http://www.xt660.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

How much of your licence can you lose, and I don't mean out ya back pocket,
if my loal 'friendly' UK police officer sees me using less than the recommended number of wheels to drive on a pulic road?
Not that I'm a total hooligan, but I do like a grin.

Can one lose their licence entirely for one little blip at the lights?
One friend of mine said you get points, another said you can lose your licence.

I guess every situation is different.

Anyone had to use the 'My finger slipped off the clutch, officer.' excuse?

i just sit at the lights or dump a gear and put on full gas and hope for the best hehe great fun apart from you shag your sprokets and chain :( and its a mission to get a front sproket :(

OK, silly question!
Just curios, Why is it? People talking about different spocket ratios in the 'drive kits' forum section. There's a few links there.

How the rear brake can save you :)

I said back in ma first post around early 07, that the xt was a hard bike to wheelie.. then a few posts later 8 months,, i said I found the xt to be the asiest bike out there tae wheelie.. well this is now 3 years later, an I can say personaly,, ive never had any of the KTMs or husky`s the fast moto`s,, but what I will say,,, I love the xt fur wheelies... so easy.. when ye know how......

Im sure ive commented in here before but after near 3 years with my bike ive found that first gear and a slip of the clutch is all it takes with most bikes. Although im not a wheelie demon or am constantly doing wheelies i find it very hard to hook up an extra gear and wheelies in second gear is a bit hit or miss really.

Hi there,

is it necessary to have all the 50hp of the XTX to wheelie it? I only have 34hp on mine. Only in first gear small "jumps" of the front wheel are possible. In second gear no way to get the front to rise up.

I think that I would need more power (all the 50hp) or is it just my technique?:angry7:
