    My nrg is very front heavy and not the easiest bike to get up.

    was thinking maybe something smaller like a zip or a typh?

    You should be able to wheelie your NRG... People can wheelie 4 stroke runners which is alot heavier then a 50. And theres people who can wheelie restricted 50s so its you mate.

    A lighter bike will help but once you got the hang of it you could wheelie bigger bikes.

    you can lift the front end of my zip up with 1 finger its so light lol, with a sport 70 setup it wheelies effortlessly just using the engines power.

    i'm shit at wheeling however my mate used to wheely his technigas piped zip everywhere, then the leo tt piped booster everywhere, know 2 lads on totally stock derestricted aerox's can wheely them properly too and theres others i know but they're the prime examples.

    Pop a 70cc kit on it and it'll lift, even i can get my runner to rise like a priest in a stripclub

    i take it your mates nrg's are air cooled then and yours is liquid cooled? so the front end feels slightly heavier? :confused: i cant imagine them being heavier than each other :confused: :confused:cratch:

    Lol a radiator and bottle of water doesent add huge front end weight... Fucked up forks dont help either, I wouldnt wheelie it untill the bike is 100% tiptop mate otherwise your gonna hurt yourself.

    A friend of mine wheelies his new shape SR50 with a standard pipe and just de-restricted. Get practicing!
