Re: '06 636 Wheelies...HELP!

you should be able to bounce it up in second or third. I suggest that you clutch it up cause its the easiest way to control it. in second I would bring it up to around 35 or 40 and then cutch it up and you'll polly be right around 60 when you get to the BP. In third start at like 45 or 50 and clutch and bounce it at the same time.

that the best I can help......practice is the KEY!!!!

isn't the slipper clutch only engaged when down shifting fast, to prevent the engine brake from locking up the rear wheels?

Re: '06 636 Wheelies...HELP!

you need more speed/rpm before it will come up high.
the power comes at high rpm only, like over 8 or 9 grand.
Do this and it will work in 1, 2, 3 and 4th, yes 4th and i dont mean little floaters. I mean it will flip over in 4th, all throttle no clutch, if you wait till
you exceed 195 km/h. oh yeah, stock gearing too.

if stock you need to bounce and clutch to get it up to bp in 4th...so I wouldn't really say it will loop just from throttling it...

Re: '06 636 Wheelies...HELP!

I would almost think it would be EZ to get it up being as tall as you. you can shift more weight to the back
