i have had my bike for a month now and i started to watch youtube videos of people doing some cool wheelies and im wondering if my ktm 390 even has enough power to do wheelies. my bike is all stock.
Yep.. no problem doing wheelies, at all. Easiest is to be rolling in 1st at about 10-15 mph and clutch them up. Be sure to have the rear brake covered as that is your insurance policy from looping!
Yeah, I didn't leave em standing still. Easily carried two lengths on the faster of the two. Heard "I was asleep at the tree " excuse from the guy bringing up the rear.
Mind you this was light to light shut down was still in the legalish speed range. I don't promote hooliganism. It is costly when you get caught.
I've yet to turn off my abs. Having never used it on a bike it's been a learning experience. I bet stoppies will be a hoot.
in this video you can see the rc390 actually powering up a wheelie...no rocking/clutching.....just pure power.

I managed to (accidentally) get the front wheel off the ground yesterday. As a new rider doing an unintentional wheelie is pretty scary, especially when on a busy highway right after stalling the bike at a green light for a turn. I also have yet to turn ABS off
