Welcome David!

You wont get that planker up with just pinning it,

This might help...

 

My bike has no problem 1st or second power wheelie and cold weather 3rd gear ups. 3/4 throttle.

Is the bike bone stock?

I havent tried wheelieing my xplane but i hope to hell it can do that.

 

^^^ wow my bike does not do that!

 

I've noticed with my crossplane is that the bike will power wheelie but only in high rpms compared to my 06 1000rr

 

I have to pin mine in 1st for it to lift 2 inches!

 

He must have a 520 conversion at least

 

No its not stock- stock chain - ecu flash full akrapovik smog plate , airbox mod to much to list. its all in body position for power wheelie- second gear cant stay on ground for me though

 

My Xplane comes up easy as well. I'm also not stock tho. The bike is heavily restricted from the factory. Weather you're in A mode or STD the power is the same. Get a tune and it'll come up. Mine power wheelies 3rd with the correct BP

 

i hope the OP knows the wheel just hovering is the maximum acceleration, anything more than that and you are going slower than you could be...

So proper body position is over the tank keeping the front wheel DOWN :fact

 

:fact

once i took note of my body position(as described above) i sat an inch or 2 back on the seat and pinned it and presto! whoolies! check your body position and try again. im 6'3 240lbs and she comes up just fine now that ive made that correction.

 

I have a crossplane and im also in gauteng..just pull away and build up revs with half throttle..when you get to 8500 rpm just twist it open all the way and she will come up no probs..

ECU Flash is next in line:rock

My 08 will power wheelie at 8500 rpms too but the scary part with that is youre going almost 90kms/hr. I have to clutch anything under that speed even in first and the 08 even has the 520-16/47 gears. This is going to be a long winter with all this bike talk

 

1st was easy even bone stock. It took some mods for me to get 2nd gear to go up easy, no luck yet on third. I am not a stunter I like to power wheelie but dont look to ride wheelies for a mile down the parkway. I just get the revvs up, chop off the throttle and hit the throttle. I do not think about it just do it. If you sit further back it will come up easy. Here are two edited gopro videos

First gear:

Seond I hit the throttle at about 70mph:

 

That's weird because my R1 comes up like nothing 1st gear and I can click 2nd and keep going. Powering up 2nd is all about body position plus a lil help on the bars.

 

I've never done any of that, just use some clutch and you're away??
