Engine Component Life

07/20/2009 6:41 AM

I have 150 cc bike with wide rear while base(YAMAHA FZ). I m literally exited to VILLY my bike. But I heard it affects clutch plate very badly..is it just a wrong perception or it seriously weakens some of my bike components..?

Please explain "VILLY". Apart from being the first name of a prominent Danish politician, what else is it? Is this a misprint for therm "welly", meaning roughly (depending on location), to open the throttle wide for as long as practicable?

Full fronal Lobotomy, removal of frontal lobe of the brain, used in Victorian times to calm down psychotic and violent patients, it would make them calm and placid...far less likely to do wheelies.

It was a 'joke', for definition of 'joke' try wikipedia

he meant "Wheelie", to make a bike run on the rear wheel. OP is probably an Indian cause their Ws are pronounced as Vs. he's writing the way he speaks. :D

In the hands of a skilled rider, yes. It's all a matter of balance.

yes, doing a WHEELIE is exciting to do and watch, but you'll have to be prepared for the many many crashes you'll experience before being able to master the technique. worse can happen if you're not very careful.

and, yes, it does wear our your clutch earlier than normal. because the rear wheel takes on the entire load, and at an abnormal angle, it takes the punishment, and can result to misalignment, or might even be detached from the frame if it was not locked very well.

IMO, using your motorcycle safely will not only prolong its service life, but yours as well.

And if caught doing it on a public road in the UK, expect some serious penalty points and a fine.

Rules are very much there only problem is attitude, " Who cares".

And even rule is not documented, We should have enough brain to understand wrong and right, specially when it comes to civic sense.

Of course there are such rules ... <slaps furry head with paw>
They may not be specific rules against it, but it will be covered by general rules about exercising safe control of the vehicle.
After all there are no specific rules in the UK about driving whilst blindfolded, wearing a deep sea diving suit with a Camel sitting on your lap! but it doesn't mean its ok to do it.

Funny but perfect.

I guess no English batsman surpasses 10000 run mark yet, you seams to be doing it first.

the balls experience instantaneous 2.8G forces, causing some discomfort to the rider, such as stomach pain, or even nausea. <LOL>
