wheelies

#1 Post by herbacious » Sat May 22, 2010 7:22 pm

never really been one for trying to pull wheelies, always too scared of dropping the machine and costing myself a load of cash...

went out for the first ride with the mrs on the back of the new falco yesterday and oh my god pulling wheelies all over the place :D

loving it lol

she wasn't convinced tho

owned it for 7 days now, done 350 miles so far

definitely starting to gel with the bike..

also LOVING the soundtrack!!

Sounds like you're enjoying it. Which is good and bad...................good because it just reinforces my desire to get my newly acquired Falco.................bad, because I don't know when that will be :smt009
Will be posting the full story when I get it. Enjoy going solo on yours though squire :smt003

I dont think i have ever heard of someone not getting on with their Falco. I know this forum is somewhat biased, but even so, nobody has ever come up with a sob story of not enjoying the bike or not getting on with it.

..Apart from sidestand problems when theyve first bought the bike, everyone bar none waxes lyrical about them!

Put on a 15T front sprocket, then it will wheelie! :smt003

Glad you're starting to enjoy it :smt023

...or stick in a Gabro chip. With the flat spot gone, it’s just too tempting :smt003

Actually Beowulf legal titanium race cans and a K&N filter got rid of my flatspot with no other initial changes.
A 15T front sprocket is the cheapest "fun" change though!
