That's cool! I can't get my 9s to power up though, I always have to slip the clutch. I think that's just the nature of the beast though, right?

Can I do that on my M2? I've never done a power wheelie, I think I keep my weight too far forward...

It's best to learn offroad, on an offroad bike and then transfer the skills to a streetbike. If you don't have that luxury, be very careful and don't try and learn it all in one day.

Nope, it will power up.
It's all in technique. practice, practice, practice and you will get the feel for it.

Little buggles- Yes, you can easily do that on your M2. Just be careful.

I have a hard time getting my S1 not to pull up...even if I climb onto the front end as far as I can.

Even back when it was 75hp, all you'd have to do is get rolling at low speed, snap the throttle closed, then wack it wide open. Just make sure you back off before you loop!

Definitely take it slow if you're learning on a streetbike.
