is there somthing i could do to keep the front down, i like the bigger engine so it'll go faster
The front end coming up is always a problem once you use high grip rear tyres,I've got two bikes with Rossi TOP.12 engines and they both wheelie too easily,really need a 12t clutch bell but the cast ali ones disintegrate and 13t is a bit too much.
Bigger engines mean more wheelies with the resultant repairs.I run an OS.18 in one bike with a 15t clutch bell and I still have problems with wheelies.A harder rear tyre that spins rather than grips will help,also a softer rear suspension set up.

Wheelies are good for spectators,but they don't get the repair bills.
