Power Wheelies are VERY HARD to Find on the Kawasaki ZZR1400 / ZX-14r...

[@davidwalters3849]

Wheelies are not a problem on this machine, period.

[@arturama8581]

Had a 2009. Switch on the secondary flies , so it wouldn't limit power in 1st-5th gear. Wheelies on command! Almost never used it. Made it much too nervous for my taste.

[@dupajasiu920]

I can see the hand is still smooth on the throttle, which prevents the wheele. Riding this bike we must be smooth with the throttle in order to live another day :) So it requires some breaking through the instincts to open it up in an ubrupt way.

[@ViciousXUSMC]

Your exaust sounds JUST like mine. I have never done a wheelie on my SV650 in owning it and riding it for over 5 years. Deiced to try today on the ZX14R and got the front wheel up in 1st no problem, need to learn how to set it down gentle so I dont mess up my bike though as its a heavy bike with a long wheelbase, all that translating into way more force on the suspension. I am not a motovlog person, but I am a content creator and enjoy recording so I have a simlar setup to you (360 camera, chin mount, etc) one thing I have not done yet is actually record my voice, curous what your microphone setup is? Sounds pretty good picking up both your voice and the outside sounds without too much wind noise.

[@MagnusLjungwald]

It's also a 1441 cc engine that weighs much more then a 1000 cc engine. Add that to a longer wheel base and it makes wheeling a bit harder. With that said, my ZZR1400 (206 RWHP) wheelies in 1:st, 2:nd and 3:d gear. Also bear in mind where you are seated on the bike. (Forward or more at the back).

[@jimmyron3741]

The factory limits throttle to 80 percent 1st through 3rd gear. Removing limiters through tuning really wakes it up.

[@thedoubleton200]

My standard gen 1 power wheelies in 3rd...add some compression damping on the rear shock to liven it up 👌

[@jona8261]

I have a 2015 ZX 14 R...30 year anniversary ninja. I can pull a wheelie with 5RP m's in 1st gear shift to 2 second . If you want you can bring it on 2nd gear about 70 miles an hour by about 5 RPMS stand up. To afraid to shift the 3rd gear because by then the road runs out and you're at about a 150 miles an hour. I keep it set at full power..... traction control 1....... I don't even take it off track control.......

[@blackericdenice]

I have a 2011 zx14 and I weigh 340 lbs. if I ride a passenger. I can pick up the wheel in first, adding throttle.

[@jonshoe3326]

my gen 1 zzr1400 power wheelies in 3rd when pinning it, quite a trill when your at a ton plus and not expecting it, not sure if it has had a ecu flash but has got twin yoshi's and fueling is real smooth, but it doesn't seem to wheelie in 1st or 2nd off the throttle but may be im not pushing as hard in the lower gears or maybe because i'm lent more forward when launching and tucked back behind the screen by the time i hit 3rd ,also when i add panniers filled with camping gear the front can come up on the throttle quite easily ,strangely the misses don't like that .

[@cswift6034]

What everyone should know is the 14 is a longer wheelbase than other sport bikes. That’s why a lot of guys don’t have steering dampers.

[@ALEXXDEKOCK]

You don't have to jerk the bike, you don't have to drop the clutch, you don't have to worry about your seating position just wait for100/120 kmph and aggressively open the throttle. Trust the bike not to flip. Power on F. KTRC set on 1. As easy to wheelie as any liter bike, just feels safer. My 20c.........

[@LoneWolf-Uk]

Unfortunately; it sounds like it needs tuning, new exhaust and such to get the Full Powa, according to @chrismooremafia. :) My Yamaha Yzf1000R Loves powerups. ;)

[@roadtoad1216]

Get a Woolich ecu tune and derestict and a good exhaust , then you will find it will wheelie mate .

[@robertreasor7522]

That's one of the major things I miss about my ZX11D. Wheelies we're never a problem because it gives you all of the power all the time.

[@barbaraannebird8536]

I have this bike but 1st gen it wheelies no prob on the power in 2nd proper missile

[@earlgunman6325]

My Gen 1 ZX-14 is almost impossible to keep the front tire down in 1st above 8k at ¾ throttle. It's tuned with a single Yoshimura full system. In 2nd gear I can get it to power wheelie, but I can keep it down easily enough.

[@picklerick2324]

Same thing on my zx14 can’t power wheelie at all unless it’s super cold outside and I hit the throttle super early before the motor heats up

[@mikerelford1298]

What year bike was this?

[@MercilessKilla5836]

Your not turning the throttle properly and yes it needs to be higher RPM. Powerband

[@isabel3harriet1]

Mine easily does power wheelies in 2nd gear once the fuel gets to about 2 bars as there is less weight. Mine is a gen 2 2012 which i think are less restricted than the newer ones because of emissions

[@Nightwalker1480]

I found that wheelies on my zx14 really depends on my krtc mode. I usually roll in mode 1 or off and run at about 41psi on corsas

[@macdavis757]

Gotta load the front forks with quick acceleration open and close throttle. I have hybusa doesn’t come up until forks loaded. Here is the con . If you land too hard you can blow the fork seals

[@minky6617]

After owning zx10rs then a zzr1400. I find the zzr1400 tame and slow tbh

[@greg555]

My 2012 ZX14R will get on the back wheel in 3rd ( no clutch) and I'm 110 kg. Even with traction control on 2.

[@unkindzx10r]

Getting on the throttle a little more aggressive should do it,or some gearing,I've ridden 2 different zx14 one with gearing and the other stock gearing, the stock geared zx14 power wheelies just have to be aggressive on first gear at higher rpm she power wheelies,the geared up zx14 power wheelies with ease and at a lower rpm,that's my experience with the zx14 .

[@davidgarbett4884]

Long wheel base I have one if you do wheelie it and you can keep it there you will starve the engine of oil it not a wheelie machine it's a ballistic missile. Would you try and loop a jumbo?

[@PCG2022]

Got to agree with comments below. I have a gen1 2010 - standard! and 1st - 2nd 100% wheelie constantly. I cant keep it down. In my opinion you just being too linear with the power. However I've been practicing 1st gear, clutch up wheelies. 5k - clutch up! she wheelies proper nice. Dont forget the engine is also very low center of gravity and very heavy! My m8's blackbird is much taller and top heavy compared to the 14. Good video.

[@nitrousninja882]

It is a combination of the long wheelbase and the fact that the bike is relatively tall geared. I've seen photos of wheelie aces that have done really high wheelies on the ZZR 1400 or ZX-14R though. When traction control is on, the ZX-14R will not wheelie. Mine has a -1 front sprocket and with traction control turned off, it will wheelie easily.

[@federicoayup863]

damn love how those akrapovics sound

[@barberfirestop]

In second gear at about 20-30 miles an hour you have to pull the clutch in and nail it ! pop the clutch it will come up on almost any bike will come up and just make sure you back off if it gets too high for you, but it's not impossible you need experience and seat time, period

[@daviddiodato5550]

I got the wheel up in 3 Rd. You can get outa control quick and the road runs out fast so use caution. Another scenic ride. You gotta do a run down on your camera set up. The mirror shots are the best!!! Thanks!!

[@ralphwarom2514]

I actually like that the bike doesn't wheelie easily. I usually ride on Low power Mode and also Traction control 3. Bike is still crazy crazy fast. I'm just into safety where I can get it.

[@zx14.r]

Please grow a pair and ride that monster as it should be ridden! You can wheelie it for 4 days if you know how. You obviously don't. Power or clutch... On the straight or going out of a turn... You name it. Hard to hear, I know... Practice, practice, practice! ;)

[@ozzbear6221]

My girl bangs the front wheel sky way in 01st / 2nd and 3rd, the grip on the right twists - try it😂

[@rockyp3917]

You need to see "Power Drifts" video about the ZX14R. He wheelies it all day

[@BuffaloStampede69]

I find that on my ZZR 1200 which I assume is the same on the 1400 is the center of gravity is very far forward which makes it really not want to wheelie which makes it good for putting down power

[@richardwoodhouse8397]

Sit back in the seat and upright go slowly in 2nd letting revs build and whack the throttle full open in traction 1to be safe from going over! Up hill helps.

[@SicVic999]

I have exact bike...on the lower setting i can power it up 1st and second at 320lbs.... Effortlessly with traction control off. It will lift on 1 st setting but engine cuts power as it gets to high. 2nd setting it will pop up briefly but come right back down. 3rd settings your smashing your nuts, it will viciously slam you down. Your problem is simple....FEAR!! Learn to cover and use your rear brake and keep adding gas faster and harder till it comes up.

[@philbrady702]

I got my 06 to power wheelie in 2nd gear with minimal effort

[@cemdrahsan270]

Hi., Toprak Razgatlıoğlu's father was the King of Wheelie.. sadly he passed away on the wheelie.. He was the friends of mine.. His nickname was ''Wheelie Arif'' or in Turkish ''Tek teker Arif''.. You can check in youtube..

[@markjones464]

I am 6 ft 2 , and weight 94 Kg it A perfect bike for me , If it starts to Lift the wheel up I move my Weight Forward and when I corner I move My long body forward , I not being Horrible but it to much of a bike for Some short people .

[@Demonbfg]

Good video but i'm actually glad it's not wheelie prone.If the guy your racing,is up in the air,he is losing.That is why drag bikes have long swing arms.The zx-14 was made for down and gone.

[@TheRipper15437]

I have a 1400 and take her to high up. Just be careful when you put it down. It wheelies hard.

[@spacecityryder]

Busa and 14 are low & kinda stretched-out, compared to other bikes. I'm not good at wheelies either and too scared to WOT in first gear 😆 I'm about 99% sure that 14 will come up unless the e-nannies won't let you. I'm no expert though.

[@MichaelMichaelMotorcycles]

It does

[@rrydinhigh2452]

Honestly, my 2009 was SO SPICEY, I could have FLIPPED that bitch in 1st gear, if I whacked it @ 6K rpm. My 14 was STAGE 1?, as follows: Factory Pro Velocity Stacks, Secondary Flies OUT, K&N Air filter, PAIR Block off, FULL MUZZY M-10/M-14 4-1 SS exhaust system, STOCK gearing, 50lbs lighter than stock, Pump gas(91 octane), PC-5, & lastly: "dyno-tuned" to purrrfection. Your bike is not "set up" properly. (Pro tip: weight* & tune matter👍🏽) (*Fun Fact: Gen 1's(like my '09) didn't have electronics/rider aid's. They were raw & much lighter). -💚🍀

[@rbszx14r56]

Not at sea level ,stood mine up from a stop light, needs tuned up correctly

[@pattyjay9999]

Maybe you’ve been riding around in mode three an low power😜even stock my 14 would jump off the ground so much that I had to put a GPR steering dampener on it❗️

[@8tavian999]

Get a tune, and that will change, butterfly valves open all the way all the time, no more power cutout on topend, good fuelling ratio. I can pull wellies on my 2002 Vstrom with 100 hp less, 60 nm less, same bike weight, stock gearing and i weigh 120kg.

[@kingvtec100]

My zzr1400 tuned 208rwhp

[@Maggelito]

If you use KTCR you wont. Like it seems you do. Turn it off and you will get the bike in your face. But KTCR 1 will get you a little wheelie.

[@jimstenlund6017]

Good Lord, 2X the torque of my 1st gen FZ1?!

[@unkindzx10r]

But I use clutch for wheelies.

[@kellygrant4964]

Doing a wheelie is hard on the bike (really bad on the fork seals). And lets be honest from a regular drivers point of view ... somebody wheeling away are just a bunch of dick heads. There really isn't a reason for it other than wanting to be like racers wheeling away. There is no place for it on the public roads.

[@peterroberts652]

You've clearly not watched the 44Teeth video on what happens to you and your licence if you get caught wheelying . Dangerous driving charge , loss of all licences Re-take all licences

[@paulwalton7820]

I don't want it to wheelie...

[@zzr12muzzy]

WTF what an idiot & Rookie Rider My 14 Wheelies like Crazy Love it

[@tewatenebillemery5584]

Well sumthing wrong with your bike..,....Mine is stock and it wheelie when dont want it to..... without the clutch it wheelie. ..... power wheelie easy no clutch

[@MrJayjay0420]

I've owned both a gen 1 and gen 2 both full systems and custom dyno tune. These bikes barely wheelies compared to my s1000rr. Yes the zx14 does power wheelie, but outside of first gear, not all the time.

[@rawdyrider]

Its a cruiser not a sport bike.Unnecessary topic

[@Ridecamping1984]

Wrong rpm

[@FastTimes69]

This video was nothing but a waste of time

[@kubakubek86]

He's just not that good, I do power wheelies almost straight up and it pills like crazy. So you either can't ride or the bike is broken simple, I have tons and tons of footage on wheeling thru out the summer
