Yup! I can! I can do a 4th gear wheelie! lol... I've been off my dr for more than 2 weeks, while I was up camping and such. I wanted to go for a ride today, so i pulled it out, and hit the starter button. Started right up. Sounded good, so I went out. I was riding on the road, when I thought, I'm gonna try one of my 3rd gear wheelies. I thought I had it in 3rd, so I put my knee on the seat, and gave it all it had. I was like WTF??? The front end came up like a rabid dog! I almost didn't have time to recover! I was like whoa! I check my gear by pulling the shifter up. It only goes up once. Then I think, was I in 4th? I guess I was, It seems to have unlocked it's power. I tried it again. 4th gear wheelies! whoohoo! Then I thought, I bet I can do 5th! By hitting a small rut, compressing the front end, and as I gas it, pull up. I was probably doing a 35 mph wheelie! Whoa, it was awesome. Just wanted to share my new level of dangerousity. lol

yeah when i had my dr i started in first gear .. sitting on the seat none of that cheating :D and shifted through topped out in 4th and shifted to 5th then the front end dropped ... I could never pull up the front end any higher than 3rd because my clutch was gone and would slip.

Sitting on the seat I can easily pull it up in 3rd, never tried 4th though, hehe. I really don't like doing wheelies on a dirt bike, unless you go fast enough to make the gyro effect, otherwise, it gets tippy!
