i was wondering what most people do. i clutch my second gear sitdowns. i power my first gear, but i really dont do those much. i can bounce second up fine. when i try to clutch up second standing it comes so fast i puts me back in my seat.

for info sake im geared -1/+2 on 2k1 gsxr 750.

 

I do a combintion of both. First is just on power obvioulsy, no reason to bouce or clutch. Second i can power it up, but i have to go faster than I want to be going to do it. So i usually clutch it in second, and get it balanced out. I have been doing some standups lately, bouncing it, but it doesn't really involve bouncing. I just stand up and roll it on and the thing comes up FAST. I have started bouncing it in third cause it's not quite so fast coming up. However you do it, cover the damn brake.

 

Clutch everything!!!!

 

clutch it!

 

clutch, clutch and clutch did anyone hear me say use the clutch??

 

What the last three guys said!!!!!!!! power wheelies are gay

 

clutch it. you can go twice as slow. clutch clutch clutch

 

CLUTCHS WHEELIES ARE THE WAY TO GO, AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT I THINK.

 

thanks guys. i guess its one of those things i need to get used to. just like when i first learned how to clutch. any tips when clutching it up while stand (i.e. keeping arms relaxed not locked or stuff like that).

 

yah, I used to bounce, till I tried clutching it.. now I would never bounce one up..

but for 2nd gear wheelies on my bike, I definatley bounce/clutch it up at the same time...

and it's all about pratice pratice pratice..

 

i clutch my 2nd gear sit downs and just power my stand ups in send i think i need more gear tho cause i have a hard time powering third up
but like everyone else is saying clutching is the way to go i just prefer powering up stand ups

 

I'm a bit of a bouncer but the bike does it so easily in second. I guess at the moment since I tore all the teeth off my rear sprocket, I'm just deciding what ratios to use instead. I know mine is already non standard, but I was thinking about going up one more tooth on the rear. Any suggestions?

It's a 98 Blade 919cc

 

When I cluth up stand ups in second I startout sitting and stand as the bike comes up. I dont know why I do it this way I just always have but Im weird anyways.
