If you WANT to wheelie it. ANYtime in 1st gear (over 3K)
2nd gear over about 6K (about 55-60 mph)
3rd sometimes.

all power wheelies, I don't clutch it up.
Word.

Only issue I have with the bike so far is it likes to die when coming up to a stop.
I use engine braking a lot (V-twin FTW) and occasionally when I pull in the clutch it will die if I don't blip the throttle. For some reason it must be running rich. It's worse in the warmer weather, as now it's doing it more often and has started back firing on decel as well...

Yeah, warranty would cover it... if they knew what the fuck it was.
And the dealer is 100 miles away... I'll deal until they figure something out.

You met a chick from UMR? Did she actually look decent? The guy to girl ratio is 3:1 and most of the time i wouldn't get anywhere near them.
