Trying to wheelie out of a corner

Whoever said that Ninja 250's can't wheelie, is full of crap.

Never said they couldn't- in fact, my very first race start I pulled a small wheelie off the line (startled the hell out of me! )... but lofting it over 9 at T-Hill? That was... unexpected!

Where is that video of the 250 wheelie during the race start? Looks like the rider was dancing with his bike.

Well trying to preload the suspension and hammering on the gas at the same time while in the middle of a corner didn't turn out to well. Plus running rear tire pressure at 42psi for wear, ended up high siding and got some rash on my self and bike. More motivation to paint.

It's easy to see what the problem was. What you were attempting was way beyond your experience level and sure to end in tears.

You have to learn to walk before you run and run before you sprint.
