Anyways, the mod you’re talking about with drilling the carb is on the mikuni. It’s to fix the squirting fuel of the carb because of the breathing hole is on the bottom when 12’oclocking your bike. The stock carb is trash and cuts your fuel.
Stock stuff...

OP~ (if you ever come back,) You might have to go to a fuel injected bike. (Both my FI bikes "wheelie" without clutching.) The Tiger comes up only in first, while the Husky comes up in 1st, 2nd,3rd & 4th. But then, both those bikes are stock.

Since you're on the subject of "starvation," you might want to do something for your engine is it'll be starving for oil @ 12 o'clock also.

We each have our opinion on what a legitimate question is...

I think as a first post it has all the earmarks of a troll question.

Nothing dramatic here, don`t take yourself or the forum so serious..

So you admit to the Dyna Court that you are in fact guilty of "Out-of-Forum" Troll poaching of "One-Post & Go Trolls" without owning a Dyna yourself in the Highly Esteemed Dyna Forum!

Now I don't blame you, if I didn't have a Dyna I would try to sneak in under the tent to peak at the cool people too but there are laws and we must maintain decorum and standards here.

So I ask, do you own a Dyna or are you guilty of the crime of Out of Forum Troll Posting?

I must remind the court that although the OP is not necessarily guilty of being a Wheelie-Popping Poser Troll.....

And I want to add that this is a very "pro" wheelie forum here even if the vast majority don't pull wheelies much if at all! Why, some of my best friends (if I actually had some) pull wheelies, in fact I just had a wheelie-puller over for dinner the other night and he's applying for membership in the local country club!

And we have a few regular members here who are big wheelie-pullers, take DynaKid for example, for the life of me I don't know why he has a front wheel on his bike, every thread or post he makes he's driving around on just his back tire And he's a bay-area guy so we'll know the truth one way or the other! Here's to wheelies, you loved them as a kid and they're not just for breakfast anymore

I would worry more about the lack of oil flow when the Oil tank is at 12 oclock

Which is why those of with any sense won't touch a used dyna or FRX out here anymore, you know it's been beat on hard.

I live in the east bay I see and hear the wheelie kids out playing all the time.

You rang? lol

Dyna wheelie issue-pihxcotl.jpg

Not Bay Area though, I'm SoCal but same state haha. Wouldn't call myself a stunter I just like to have fun sometimes I wonder if I can get added to that one guy's ignore list too.

OP - Learn a little more about your bike, and get a Mikuni. I don't do 12'ers but I still don't have fuel cut issues. Definitely look into the oil pan mod if you're gonna keep banging those dank 12 o'clock whoolies though.
