Re: 3rd gear weelie?

My f4i does, so I would guess your R6 does. I have to be going 50-70 to get 3rd up. If I try it any slower it only comes up an inch, if I try it faster I run out of revs before its balanced.

I bet it will, lots of bounce and clutch. I can pull up my 01 F4i with -2 +15 in 5th.

Re: 3rd gear weelie?

my 03 r6 with stock tooth count and 520 q/a conversion, will do a bounce up in 4th no clutch, sitdowns clutching 3rd but sitting back a-bit.

Re: 3rd gear weelie?

my '04 r6 is geared 1 down 1 up, but I learned to wheelie on the highway with stock gearing and in 3rd. Plus im at 8,000 ft. Bounce, clutch, and it should come up just fine. I'll do them in 4th now.
