only have had my wide glide about a year and have never cranked it full throtel in first gear if i do full throtal from a stand still will the front wheel come of the ground 2006 wide glide stage 1 se air cleaner and se mufflers a little nervious to try .

Your back tire will need to really bite in, on most surfaces the stock rubber won't get enough traction.
The bike is however powerful enough, it's just the coefficient of friction holding you back.

 

yes it will. I have an 06' superglide. did the same thing one day heading on to the freeway on ramp. wanted to take off quick soIpopped the clutch, gunned it, and was in for a suprise! very kick ***. didn't think it would, but it did. by the way,I weigh 250lbs.

 

Not sure how good it is for the trees when she comes back down......but she will do it.

 

You'd have to give it a lot of gas and really pop the clutch to bring the Wg front tire off the ground. If you just blast off and twist the throttle it will run up real fast and hit the rev limiter, you need to git off it then and shift to 2nd. and it will wind faster than 1st and you will have to hit 3rd. and so on.
Ain't nothin to be scared of. Hope the bike is broke in before you start hammering it.

 

Full throttle from a standstill and pop the clutch? More than likely you'll breakthe back tire loose, get sideways and end up on the ground.
Let us know how it worked out.

 

Here ya go yer gonna scare him ! Heh ! Heh !

 

I don't know for a fact that that would happen, I never tried it. 30 years ago I probably would have, but not now...I'm scared to!

 

So remember..................250 pounds will give enough traction [&:]
