phantom pipe...harder to wheelie

[BlackBlaster]

i just got my phantim and rode with it once...i noticed it is harder to get a wheelie up with the pipe on..i also got 18" tires if that has anything to do with it

if theres any easier way let me know (dont suggest standing on the grab bar)

thanks

i head up hill and i slam down on the seat and jam the therotal to the powerban and i just hold it and i dont stand up when i wheliee

might be the tires...i thought it wasnt any better, but not worse, and did u jet it? also, if u havent got a airfilter, get a k&n filter, it actually makes a differance.

harder to wheelie? when i got the pipe it was hard to keep the front end down it was crazy maybe cus i get alot of airflow but still i can pull up that front end going down a hill just punch the throttle and lean back

Well if you didnt re-jet thats a big problem, maybe not as much with the wheelies, but it can lead to a seizure and that is alot worse than not being able to wheelie, I would just use the clutch more when wheelieng....Im not sure which is the best way to wheelie(barley ever do it) but itwould give you more control over your rpm's...

You didn't rejet? I wouldn't ride it until you do.

i get way more power with mine... and it is sooo much easier to wheelie i can bring a wheelie in 3rd gear....

did u mess with the jetting... it could be that

and when was the last time you rebuilt urs...

when i got my dg i couldnt bring em up at all then i found out that it was ready to blow up anytime....

when i got mine rebuilt it ran soo much better

then i got the phantom and it ran even better

im sorry, but your dad was wrong. you absolutly need to rejet. ESPECIALLY if your getting a K&N. your obivously not gonna feel much of a power gain if you dont rejet. once you rejet, youll be pleassantly surpised

[TrAvIs05]

Yeah, i'm still trying to get my Phantom on (what a friggin' pain in the ass) but i've never heard anyone say they felt like it's worse when trying to wheelie. You really don't need to rejet just for a filter (unless you want it perfectly fine-tuned) but you deffinitely need to when you get a pipe and especially if you have both.

[BlackBlaster]

yeah...i told him time and time again..it needs rejetted...but NOOO

its never been rebuilt...but i just got it this year (its an 02) he had it up until now...and he didnt ride often

If he dosent want to rejet it just tell him that is it siezes that he'll have to buy the things to fix it...that way he gets his way and you wont be out any money...or just jet it yourself in secret..

thats waht i was gonna say lol, just buy a 280 or i have a 290 with a phantom, oil injection block off, k&n, and removed the airbox. jetting it is really easy, it takes 10 minutes.
