Yes for me, but not a violent wheelie, just front goes lighter.
I put it down to the rear suspension working and the power is pushing the bike forward smoothly rather than the back end bouncing up and down so I feel more comfortable cracking the throttle fully open. More throttle means more chance of wheelie! If you accelerate at same speed, don't think it is more likely to wheelie.
Forgive my ignorance, is 47 tooth less than standard. If so, that WILL make the front come up. When I got my bike it had a smaller rear sprocket on, all suspension settings to max and it was hard to keep the front down.
Standard is a 48 rear.. just changed mine for an oem kit and have standard rear shock settings, it will lift in first if u wanted it to!.
Hmmm interesting, should make it a wheelie good ride then..........get it?.......wheelie good ride?.......god I'm wasted on here :lol
the shock mod or any properly sprung rear shock will help the front lift. as when you pour on the power you dont lose as much in the rear end sqauting down.
i run 46 on the rear with a nitron shock sprung correctly. although its easyer to lift it dosent do so uncontrolably or in a vicious way.
it dose pep the bike up a bit, and going 3 up on rear will throw your speedo out. i fitted a speedo healer to compensate.
Might have to look into one of these speedo healer thingies, will see what the 47 tooth is like to ride with first. Beginning to think it wasn't such a great idea as the front end gets very flighty currently. I just seem to use 1st gear a lot when in traffic or on some of the twistier roads i go on and it doesn't seem right that I should be.

Not on a gen1 thou it aint :b Gen 1 stock rear sprox is 44, if you stick 47 it will lift the wheel very easy i run 45 on the rear the speedo mph is than 100% correct with gps.

If a 45 is put on rear that will increase acceleration. I know that standard speedo readings are slightly optimistic, so is it definetly accurate with a 45 tooth rear and does it make the bike vibrate buzz through the bars more? :rolleyes
If it's broken, it's not fixed.
. On another point, a few people have mentioned that, after fitting Devilsyam's R6 shock kit, they noticed their bikes have more of a tendancy to wheelie, is this correct?
