    Default FRONT TIRE LIFT ?

    My wife and I were making a left-hand turn out of a parking lot today. We were pulling onto a 2 Lane Hwy. The speed limit on the highway is 55 miles an hour. Cars are traveling pretty quick I saw my opening rolled on the throttle to make a left-hand turn given some extra acceleration to get out into the traffic. When I did the left tire came up off the ground felt to be almost about 18 inches. No indicator lights of VSS came on at all. Has anybody else experienced this and did I do something wrong?

    THANKS FOR ANY HELP

    Everything has to be just right but yes I have done it several times, isn`t it fun. I have it down to an art now. It will not let you get to crazy before it shuts down.

    I too have done the same thing by giving it too much throttle going into a sharp turn......but has always turned out well. It is a little unnerving though!!

    Not sure what I did. Didn't think I was doing anything out of the ordinary. Just pulling out into traffic. Don't really want to experience it again !

    A few inches feel like a foot. It is unlikely that you got it higher than 6" off the ground.
