![]() ![]() I just want to find out if there is anything I can do to minimize the chances I will over throttle and inadvertently wheelie.Īny advice regarding skill or parts replacements to make it easier on a newbie is appreciated. I have a little more fear instilled in me now, but I still want to ride this bike. Note I was not intentionally trying to wheelie and have no intention of wanting to wheelie ever, especially as a beginner. I knew before I bought this bike that it'd be very easy to intentionally wheelie in second gear, but didn't think I would mis-throttle as bad as I did. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to lower the chances of over-throttling or make this bike more beginner friendly. My bike is still in the shop getting a damage assessment done, I think the damage is minimal and I just need to replace the entire handle bar/fork and the meter to get it functional again. I had slowed down to make a slight right turn but realized I slowed too much so I decided to give it a little gas, but somehow I over-throttled and ended up popping a wheelie, so instead of breaking I had already over-throttled and I got thrown off the bike and my bike projected forward towards a wall. What happened was, I was practicing at night where there weren't many cars or people in the area. Luckily, I was in full gear except for a butt cushion and ended up with a small road rash and a bruised left butt cheek and thigh. I did a lot of research before I bought this thinking it wouldn't be too hard for a beginner to start on, but perhaps that perception was wrong. I had about 3 rides under my belt with this bike before I ended up crashing it and doing a number on the bike as well as myself. I bought a used 2015 FZ07 at a decent price with around 6k miles. I am a new rider and have gone through the MSF course to get my M1 endorsement.
