That gary rothwell article sounds pretty good. Basically I think hes saying. In 1st gear pull away, get the bike up to 5000 RPMS. When you get there pull the clutch in very slightly, this will disengage it from giving all power to the rear wheel. As the Tach climbs to 7-7.5k let the clutch out smoothly but quick..

humm. i tried this the other day. I went up to 8k then pulled full throttle.
I think i rolled off a little bit while repositioning my hand. so yeah it just went high rpm without the front going up. i'll try again tomorrow. i don't wanna mess up my second gear since R6's have that second gear problem.

My question for you people, how to get the dang thing in second after I get her up. Its pretty dang easy for me to get the bike on one wheel but I cant ride it for a distance. So I bring her up pretty high then right back down again. Tried opening and closeing the throttle but I guess I dont have a steady enough of a hand (yet). So just thinkin about it would probably be easier in second since it isnt gear as high (numerically lower) I tried to lift the wheel up in 1st (no problems there) and then clutch it and throw the bitch into second. However the moment I clutch it the bike comes back down

I don't believe you have to clutch in the upshift. Give it a shot while you're not wheeling. It should work.

No clutch. If you just push up on the shifter and blip the throttle it'll go right into 2nd. It takes some practice. I can ride 1st and 2nd gear wheelies but the shift I'm just learning. I can get it all the time if I throw it up in 1st and shift right into 2nd while it's on the way up but I'm at such low rpm in 2nd that I can't carry it. If I try to ride 1st out to higher rpm I can't get the shift to work out where the front is going up as I shift so I end up losing it that way too. Just need to practice more I guess

just fyi to all wheelie wannabe's
I kept doing 1st gear wheelies and about 3 months after I got my bike, my timing chain busted a hole in my engine case (says my mechanic), which means I have to buy a whole new engine. I haven't rode in about 3 months now and I have been going crazy for a ride like a crack head. so if your wanna do wheelies buy a strong preformance timeing chain. or learn to do 2nd ear wheelies fast!

back brake
I'm sure alot of us can add to this string about a wheelie or wheelies gone bad.
When I was on my ass and watching my R1 burn, I wished I used the back brake. Now I keep my foot very close so that I can hit it if needed. Anyone see Biaggi doing the sickest wheelie on FasterMovie? Only way he brought the bugger down was hit his back brake. hasta...R1surfing! |
