I was there and witnessed the "moonraker" launch! Man, at one time I thought Petter was goin' to do a "360", or is it "180", and end up on the roof!  Grin

But what impressed me the most, apart for the awsome wheelstand, was the fact that when Petter "landed" he immediately went to 2nd gear, did another "wheelie", came a bit "off-track", and with the left-hand tires almost out in the green grass he shot off towards the 402m marker! We are talking a good 5-7 meters "side-drift" here, way off track if you like... and still recording a time of 12,04sec!!  Shocked

Congrats again Petter!

I have limiter straps on the rear suspension and that helps a bit and I am not sure if you have or not. If you look at cars that makes really high wheelies the rear suspension unloads if they don't have limiters. The more it unloads the higher it can go.
I am also riding on the stinger on this picture but as you can see it is much lower (but to high anyway...) and the rear wheels hasn't unloaded as much as yours.


or video here:

Other things that I am going to try: Raised rear tire pressure until it spins a bit, adjustable front shocks so I can make them stiffer so it doesn't unload the front end so fast.

Kewl picture...and a scary lift-off for sure...but it looks like the rear wheels are about 1/2 meter above the tarmac!?! And what happened to the stinger (or muffler)?

My stinger is OK, just a little bit scrached, the collektor made a dent in the metal above it. I will check my frontaxel if I have bent something. To be honest, the pics looks more scary than it actually was! Thanks to Mettis for the fantasic picture!
