fj vs fz gearing

Recommended Posts

i'm just wondering if anyone knows if the gearing i different between them
at 65 i'm around 4500
at 80 i'm at 5500rpm
 
i see all the fzs doing easy power wheelies
 
i decided to try and can barely get the front wheel to come off the ground in 1st

Im not sure about transmission gear ratios between the 2 bikes. I changed the stock countershaft sprocket (16T) to a 15T, and like it much better. It still pulls forever in each gear, it just revs up a little quicker.

A mode with TCS off.. front wheel comes up easily in 1st under hard acceleration. Probable would in 2nd if you were someone that's good at wheelies.

Thanks and I got it the name honest.Had a cx500 rat bike that I loved thrashing around the mountains on. Great fun until the throttle linkage on the carbs bind up and you end up taking a 30mph corner at 70mph.

Just gonna throw my 2 cents in , but 2nd gear with tcs off at about 4000 to 5000 rpm , and clutch wheelie it up. It's so much easier to manage and more consistent by clutch wheeling than power wheeling

i had tcm off 
was able to get it up after a few attempts
not what i would call effortless by any means
 
guess ill have to practice more
 

 
You're probably not at the right engine speed for the torque needed.
 
Is this your first attempt at wheelies?

  I have no trouble getting mine up either but sometimes I can't pee as far as I used to.
