Is a kawasaki zx7r hard to wheelie?

what do you think?
Is a kawasaki zx7r hard to wheelie?
It shouldn't be. I read about the Suzuki GSXR 750 and read that it will wheelie in low gear twisting the throttle wide open fast without even having to use the clutch to launch the front end skyward. The zx7r should be comparable to the GSXR. I saw someone riding a good wheelie on a 7 or a 9 it looked like a zx7 to me. He was doing about 40 mph on the rear wheel going pretty far. Just be careful and hit the rear brake if you feel you're going too far back and it will brig the front end back down. These bikes are very powerful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

probably easy
Reply:First of all, be careful. this is a pretty powerful bike. It can also be a bit difficult to handle in a wheelie because of the tight handlebars. For a beginner, a smallish dirt bike wheelies easier and gives you more clues on how to handle it.





Nevertheless...





Pull off in 1st, then shift hard into 2nd, giving it a LOT of gas. If the wheel doesn't come up, try it again sitting further back in the seat - oops! not too easy on that seat. You can also try standing up on the pegs with your butt as far back as you can (well, almost).





It the wheel comes up too far, pull yourself forward a bit, putting more weight on the front of the bike and it'll go down some. A little more gas and it goes up more. There is a balance in there. It'll also come down if you slack off on the gas a bit.





Don't try the rear brake, it's not where you think it is - the bike is at an angle and you're upright. To brake you'll probably have to take your foot off the peg and you'll probably push it too hard, in which case you'll come down hard.





With just a little practice you can get it up and keep it there for quite a distance. After you do it a few times, try shifting up with the wheel up.
Reply:In my experience, no. If you have as much power as the typical kawasaki, and you are headed up the hill it may happen just because you shift gears, under full throttle (you do know how to shift without using the clutch, don't you?) Shift forward on the seat to prevent it and lean on the bars. (you DO want to prevent it, don't you?) Oh, and be aware that you can bring the front forks down too quickly and damage them (very expensive, that.) Carrying a passenger, back there behind the rear tire contact patch, thus shifting the weight to the rear, can make it easier too.





It's considered bad form to offer your girlfriends mother a ride and loft the front whel with her on the back. Why? Well her usual response is to grab you and pull you back, and scared like that, she may have a better grip on you, than you have on the handle bars. Having a wreck because you lost control doing a wheelie is bad, very, very bad. Sure way to get told to leave her (and her daughter) at home next time, too.
Reply:No. Very simple indeed.





Its more a question of technique rather then the bike it self.
Reply:hey squid,why would you want to ?
Reply:no, it wont be hard to wheelie at all. just get in 1st gear and whack the throttle, trust me the wheel will come up.





i ride a gsxr 600 and get it up in 1st gear no problem. I have to clutch it in second gear to get it up. almost any sportbike will come up in first gear.





best way and easiest to learn is to powerwheelie: accelerate in first into the powerband (for me that is above 8,000 rpm, im not sure about the zx7), left off the gas, and the forks compress a bit, then wack the throttle quickly back and the front will come up.





do not read the post by Tinker, reading his post he has never been on a motorcycle, nevermind doing a wheelie on one.
Reply:you can do wheelie why any bike....but why would you want to?





hard / easy depends on the TORQUE of the bike and your skills.....do some research
Reply:It should be then people like you would not get hurt, make sure you are a organ donor
