Wheelies and Burnouts on the SR
« on: April 07, 2014, 02:37:24 PM »

Is that actually possible on the 2014 SR? Or is the throttle electronically controlled so you can't actually pop a wheelie or do a burn out? - not that I condone this  :P

All 2013+ Zero's will burnout I believe.  Apparently the crap chinese tyres pump out a hell of a lot of smoke too.

Ive already asked the wheelie question, SR is too front heavy to wheelie.  The FX is a hooligan tool though and wheelies well.

Also the torque is limited at low speed, you would need to wheel at high speed.

And the weight distribution is so low on the SR (compared to many sports bikes) that it makes less prone to lift off at hard acceleration.

This is a good thing that most other bike manufacturers struggle with due to their higher center of gravity.

That's actually good news for me. With that much torque, I've been a tad worried about accidentally lifting the front wheel off when accelerating too hard, especially in the first few days of getting used to the feel of the bike.
