That is a weird issue about the traction control turning on again by itself. It never happened to me. Just a heads up, you don’t need to turn off TC in mode 2 to do wheelies since mode 2 does not use anti wheelie, you should not notice any difference with tc on or off in mode 2 with regard to wheelies. Mode 1 however does require tc off if you want to do wheelies with the smoother throttle map that mode 1 has. If you want to get used to lifting the front safely you can used mode 1 with tc on and just pin the throttle, you will get a good sense of how the bike feels in 1 wheel. You should be able to do wheelies on this bike from 1-3rd gear without much issue. Assuming you can keep tc off, I highly recommend you get used to doing wheelies with mode 1 so you have better throttle control. Once you get used to that you can switch to mode 2 if you feel you need a more sensitive throttle. To summarize : 1. Use mode 1 tc on and pin the throttle to get used to the bike going up with the safety net of tc on 2. Using mode 1 disable tc and practice keeping the bike in the air, pulling the handlebars as you release the clutch can help. 3. Use mode 2 for snappier throttle Have fun and be safe! PS: yesterday was the first time i was able to clutch up from 2nd to 4th on the hyper 698. I managed to do it 3 times! Riding long wheelies is such an exhilarating experience 3.

Forgot to mention, the slower the wheelie (like in 1st gear) the more difficult it is to find balance. Definitely consider learning using 2nd gear even if it means you have to increase your speed slightly

@@JQiRamos thank you very much for your feedback.. I did not try doing wheelies on mode 1 I always tried it on mode 2 and tc off..this time I found it difficult to do tc off on mode 2. I will check with dealer on is there a speed limit for switching off tc. Now back to wheelies, I will try as you recommended on mode 1 and capture that on how it goes.. If you can help with a question..when you do wheelies and when you reach balance point do you feel weightless? Do you feel you are about to flip over ? How do I know I reached balance point ? I will get hyper 698 once I am expert on this one..a drop or fall will break more things on hyper 698 than husky... Once again thank you very much for your valuable inputs.. it helps me a lot.

@@scoopingjoy3278 happy to help! Per the owner manual, with the throttle fully closed, pressing the tc button 3-5 seconds will turn it on/off tc and it can be done at any speed. Regarding your question about balance point, it is as you explained it. You will feel weightless and a sensation that if you give it much more gas you will flip the bike. That is why you need to get used to keeping your foot on the rear brake at all times in case you overdo it. In any case, reducing throttle should help bring the bike back forward. As long as you don’t give it much more throttle, you should not flip the bike and instead you will be “riding “ the wheelie out. What is important to remember is that you need to increase throttle as you keep moving in order to maintain the wheel in the air, that is one thing that could be causing you to drop the bike quickly. I hope this makes sense in how I explained it. Once you get used to the weightlessness you will definitely be able to ride wheelies for longer. On the 690 my personal best was riding 1st-5th which was scary because you land the front wheel very close to 100mph at that point. 2nd-3rd wheelies were very possible on the 690 platform. For context, it took me close to 4 years to feel comfortable holding wheelies at balance point. What I am trying to learn still are slow speed wheelies which are much harder to control.

@@JQiRamos yes the way you explained, makes perfect sense to me now..I can relate to it with my experience with learning and riding.. using rear break does not come automatically to me when doing wheelies, will have to get used to the habit..the instinct is to kill the throttle when feeling weightlessness. Changing gears while doing wheelies will only come in after prolonging wheelie at balance point.. Once again, thank you very much for your patience and detailed explanation.. TC off I will get it checked by dealer

Needed this. Traded for first sumo and need help. Lol. Still trying to figure out what gear to ride in and no engine brake is different...
