i can't seem to pull my 99 900RR up in second gear.. i dump the clutch hard, but nothing.... first gear is really easy.. but i get too high of rpm's in first.. my sprockets are stock, no jet kit, just a slip-on 2 bros.... thanks

 

keep trying. You dont need much to get a RR up. That bike will come up in third with no clutch. Dont be afraid of the throttle just have a lot of respect for it.

 

Mine comes up with bald tires with no problem. t Just practice and mess around at different RPMs.

 

Well it could also be your clutch going out i have a 900rr 1997 and i couldnt pull them up in 2nd eithier put a new clutch in and bam strait up.

 

try compresing your forks and pull up ther should be no problem you dont need the clutch if that doesnt work put a clutch in and try. I have a 96 and have no problem. a nother solutin is gearing it helps a lot I have 4 in the rear and 1 down in the front all It does is whealie.

 

1 down 2 up is dope

 

my 93 ckutched up sweeeet in 1st, but struggled in 2nd, a fresh clutch /sprins fixxed it(ps 1dn 2 up is the shizzy!)

 

with stock gearing???

 

ya, i can bring my 96 up in 2nd, but no way in 3rd, its bone stock other than a slip on. got gears for it, can't wait to get em on there -2 +2

 

On my 1997 900rr i have 1down 4up and its a wheelie machine.

 

My 97 has a Stage 1 kit, K&N, D&D pipe, and -1,+2 gearing, will come right up in 3rd, but not with the clutch, I have new springs and a clutch, just don't feel like puttin em in. If you don't wanna buy new springs, go down to your local Lowe's and get some washers the same size as the one's on your spring bolts and that will make the springs a little firmer, just make sure they are the correct size. It does wonders for those 2nd gear clutching attempts. And costs ya 25 cents for the washers. Just make sure you only put 1 on each springs, you don't wanna get coil bind, that would suck. If springs are your way, Barnett springs are lik 13 bucs.

ribbbit in 03

 

<<< 97 with -1 +5 ... YEAH

 

just practice. the 9hundo is a monster once you learn to use the clutch.your probably dragging the clutch when you release it..i ave alot of experience with that bike and 4th on the seat with stock gears is an all day thing when i'm on the highway.just buy mine...it rides itself..lol

 

Love the repsonse to the post considering the question was asked in 2003 lmao

 

damn dude , people keep digging up old **** and i keep falling for it.

 

lol why must these old threads get dug up!
a good one though.
i borrowed my buddies 96 900rr with 1 down 2 up one day.
when it comes to the highway i have NEVER felt a bike so comfortable and
so smooth in a wheelie. a 900rr just feels so good on one wheel like it just floats and stays there.
