idk my mechanic did the work, i just stand and wheelie on my bike. and ride hard

It's easy to run a compression check, it will tell you where you're at, if you're cams only it will be a low compression build with a 45* IVC.

I would try the bounce method mentioned previously. I think the biggest issue is that nearly solid front wheel. That has to be heavy.

the trick is use a little rear brake but you have to really watch out, make sure you have someone running a video camera you just might make it on TV.

Here is the trick...
1. Sell your bike.
2. Buy Crotch Rocket
3. Name your new Crotch Rocket "Fat Bob"
4. Do a wheelie
