Dallas R6 wheelie help
I am fairly new to doing wheelies and I was wondering if anyone with a newer R6 could take me out sometime and show me some tips on how to get up at highway speeds (50+ mph). And no need for smart *** remarks. I know how to wheelie somewhat, I just want someone with the same bike to give me some pointers...
Thanks

Start in 2nd gear and clutch it up from 30mph. More you practice, the more you will feel the timing on popping the clutch with the right rpms.
The best and easiest way to save yourself from totalling a new bike is to learn rear brake control/balance point on a 50 or a 4 wheeler. Once you get that, being on a big bike is a breeze.

well me and a few buddies were practicing on the way to bike night... got the hang of bringing it up, but I havent learned to keep it steady yet. I was chasing the wheelie
Re: Dallas R6 wheelie help
****.. if you can get it up you're golden. Just practice giving it slightly more gas when bringing it up to bring the wheelie higher in small increments. Baby steps. When you get there, you'll know it. It'll feel floaty and the rpms will stay steady. I strongly suggest you take sambo's advice and learn some brake control on a small and slow dirtbike or 4wheeler. It'll save your *** and your bike when you get in an oh **** situation.
And... avoid chopping the throttle on 1 wheel at all costs. At highway speeds, chopping the throttle is about the best way possible to throw your *** into the wobbles which will end up in an tank-slapper and or wreck if you're a noob.

+111111 .... get a 50..... even better add in a big bore with clutch on it plus more even better with a HB kit.... you will rock the big bikes easily
Re: Dallas R6 wheelie help
np, i suggest bringing your own bottle of oxygen ... people think NOS is where its at ... they have noooo idea what some PURE O2 will do for your motor and wheelies. best bet is to jack it from the dentist's office ... and while you're in there, grab me some NOS. thanks.
