Popping a wheelie on a nc35?

Post by niteblade »

is it possible? i've tried a r1 before and there's so much power it feels almost as though the bike wants to go up but the nc35 doesnt have that ommpf.

Can't do them myself but it is possible. Your bike will explode though.
Well not quite, but you'll starve the front cylinders of oil.

R1 and a nc35 doesn't really compare does it?

It can be done tho but hardly recommended.

Oil pick up is at front of the sump, so if the front end lifts the supply of oil stops :(

Thank you Porndog, that's exactly what I am saying. Why on earth is what I should have written, and the explanations are shit anyway.
