i can get it up that way, im talkin about the bike..hahaha for some reason when it comes to clutchin it up i cant get it to. i have an 06 636 and i guess im not ballzy enough yet or something. powering them up is no prob. i can get them up in 1st no prob. cant hold them there very long, but i can get the front up. 2nd gear it wont do it. so what am i doin wrong? i slip it to about 9k and then let it out and it just jerks me. im not standing up either. i guess i need to get ballzy huh? i dont really want to till i get from sliders or something though.

 

you're reving too high .try at about 6 or 7k rpms in 2nd gear and fan the clutch and scoot back a little further on the seat that bike will pop right up .then find the balance point you should be able to walk it down the street no prob! good luck !

 

just go out and practice no one is going to be able to make you wheelie suddenly..and use the search button if you really think you need help that bad there is a 50 page thread about how to wheelie..

whoof, I was gonna say use viagra

 

+1 buy an older stunt video and listen to the sound the engine makes when you clutch it up. Get to 7,000 RPM and clutch the **** out of it wile shifting your weight rearward. If that doesn't work buy some viagra, maybe the wind blowing under your **** will cause some lift and the front tire will leave the ground.

 

Might want to go one down too, also keep your foot on that rear brake!!!

i have to clutch my f4i in 2nd at like 9-10k. but i have a one up front and two down rear on it from the guy i bought it from... some people just don't get it.

 

Keepin your foot over the brake will do no good if you don't know how to use it yet...

 

No need for new gearing. The bikes not the problem, it's you. Try getting the bike to around 5k rpm, pull in the clutch about halfway, give it some gas and let the clutch back out. This should all happen in about a second. If it doesn't come up high enough try again but add some rpm's. Don't pull the clutch in all the way, just a little bit. Good luck

 

i have ridden my buddies 05 636 and i sit back on the seat and rev to bout 10 or 11k and dump the clutch, just cover that rear break. you should have no problem

 

well i just tried it right now and i got it to pick up probably 8" off the ground and carry it for a few feet. so im learnin slowly now. i just got ballzy. its actually smoother then powering it up. i read the how to on wheelieing too and that helped alot i keep forgetting about the rear brake though. like forget to put my foot on it. i need to tighten it too. i have to push WAY down for it to even feel like its engaging.

 

the advice on this thread is hilarious. that is all.

give it gas... SLIP the clutch cover the break. go get yourself a 50 and learn back brake controll on that first though....

 

636 is very high geared, give it a LOT of gas. unless I'm going 30+ in first most times it takes me a couple tries at least to realize how much throttle I gotta use since I normally ride my geared F4i.

2nd gear bounce and clutch, just experiment til it comes up.

It's a smooth bike but in my opinion needs -1 +2 just for street gearing cuz first and second are so tall, and my F4i is much more stable on the highway, 636 likes to walk around and wobble a lot for some reason, in first gear though it's fine.

 

i think what most ppl forget to tell is that u actually have to KEEP ON THE GAS when u hit the clutch, or ur not gonna get anywhere

 

oh and i think someone else forgot to tell him to practice

 

that bike will come up in third stock gear ...

 

then why are you stunting it if you arent ready to drop it

 

yeah but stock f4i's have a better low end, i haven't ridden an 05 with any gearing on it so i wouldn't know but i would guess a little bit would fix that problem

here's a video of mine, i'm in the green http://home.comcast.net/~jared.hagen/636.wmv

sunday if you want i can take some helmet cam footage from different speeds and gears to show how much to clutch and ****, but for some reason windows stopped recognizing my camcorder so i'll have to fix that first
