Should ride my dt :/

Dt Danny · Guru

why cal ? and no went over a white line on a road and it started tank slapping

Calum122 · Guru

She's a little unruly now. I think it may be ever so slight unbalanced. No when the power comes on the front wheel lifts and the bike begins to wobble.

Luke · Guru

Put some weight on the front end.

I find sitting on the mudgaurd and riding helps, only problem is shifting gear.

Calum122 · Guru

Haha! Do you have to twist that throttle too!

I'm not thick mate. I know how to ride a bike.

Lift your forks up on the front cal, makes the weight of the bike (and you) more forward, you probably know this but have you tried it to see if it solves this problem yet

Calum122 · Guru

Aye. That's a good shout actually. I may drop them a tad actually.

See how it goes.

Luke · Guru

Was only messing Cal. ;)

Meh, power wheelies are fun just stamp the back brake if you don't want it vertical. Should try two up wheelies. Hahah.

Danny, ive seen you wheelie the dt, ill admit, i try too on mine, having a jack up doesnt half help, 2nd gear with right revs pops up off the throttle.. its keeping it up i struggle with, soon as i shift up it goes down haha

2strokemx · Guru

You will have to compensate by leaning back a little bit more as you shift then; not much power on these dt's for wheelies

Calum122 · Guru

They're too heavy and too slow to keep wheelies going.

Obviously if you drop the sprockets you'll have a better chance.

Its techneque (cant spell it haha) one of my mates can wheelie my standard dt with pinned pv through all the gears, i can pop it up in 4th somtimes an keep it going for a little bit. I agree though, my mate fitted a 14t sprocket an its helped allot, i want an 11 ;) toppin out 45 haha
