So, I'm riding my new HM home from the dealer and tried a few endos. The first one worked pretty well....probably rolled it a good 30 to 40'. Then tried the second at around 60mph, and locked up the front wheel. Tried the 3rd and 4th with the same results. I can usually do these things with my eyes closed, wether on my KTM, Aprilia SXV, or wife's Gixxer600. This thing just wasn't working for me. I'm wondering if the front suspension is set up too stiff. It seems that the front end isn't dipping enough to bring the rear up, which is just causing the front wheel to lock up. Any thoughts?

While I am no wheelie monster or endo king, I had my Hyper's suspension set up by a local shop here in Jersey called Washington Cycle Works in Washington, NJ. Ron is the owner and is a suspension expert and Ohlines dealer. My bike now handles 10 times better than it did from the factory. I would have him set up your bike.
Hey,
Glad to hear you are having fun.
Assuming your tires were warmed up and scrubbed in, you might look at the front tire pressure first. The suspension may be a little stiff, being that you haven't had a chance to set sag. Setting the preload will make a huge difference and those 50mm legs are stout and just asking for abuse...(stoppies, wheelies..etc).

mduc would you care to share your suspension settings? Would not mind giving it a try to see how it works for me.
