First thing....WEAR UR FREAKIN' GEAR!!

2nd, use clutch and cover that rear brake no matter what. Learn to bring the front wheel back down by using ur rear brake. You need to slow down your approach then pull the clutch in all the way, give it gas and release all in the same motion. Then.....practice, practice, practice....oh and did I mention to wear ur gear?

Wear gear, COVER your brake, and try standing staggered. its sooo much easier learning staggered, maybe not the first few attempts, but after that, its much more comfortable. the only reason it doesnt work as well when you clutch it is because you arent giving it enough time ot rev up. bounce it if your in 2nd, but let the lil SOB rev up high...



COVER YOUR BRAKE ! ! ! ! ! ! !

basically twist and release at the same time then.....and tap the rear brake when it comes up to high and drive slower I take it....I'm going about 30 mph

Try getting the revs higher or more into the powerband. So try 40-45 mph.

Re: Tried first wheelies Vids help if can?

clutch it up. try standing and cover the brake. Powering it up like you are is a bad idea. I clutch mine up all the time and ride them but I have tried powering and it doesnt get the front high enough quickly and the bike pulls real hard and once it gets to a certain point it shoots straight up. You need to clutch it up closer to the bp and not power it up from sitting on two wheels. Youll flip faster than you can think.

Re: Tried first wheelies Vids help if can?

You have asked this question before and I told you about the new 750's... Well I rode an 06 gsxr600 a few days ago and meant to message you about it.. Just take your time bro. The bike isn't that uncomfortable to do it on. The rear peg is a lil higher than the older ones but nothing like some of the bikes out there. Trust me not a bad bike to do it on, whoolies really easy. So just quit blaming the bike, put some gear on and clutch it up. It's all about seat time bro, and slow down some too... it will hurt less.

I started out pow powing around 30mph.. wish I had started different so I am just trying to help a brother out when I say get in the lot, 1st gear, clutch up. I would start clutching around 3-4k just to begin with then slow it down. If you get any slower than that when you do finally get it up it will be wobbling or just loop out really quick(for a beginer). Just take it easy and cover the brake. Also go ride with someone(if available) that is experianced. I'm also not talking about some squid running his mouth someone that really has skillz. That helped my slow game more than anything, nothing like seeing it in person and getting pointers from them.
SEAT TIME!!:YEAH

****in a right. 3500 hundo. little higher for NTH and no handers. i pretty much set it at 3000 for all other first gear like combos. then put it to about 2 - 2.5 for goign through circle school.

right now you should jsut try to get smooth with stock idle. maybe turn it up to about 1.5k. get used to using brake then start doing idle stuff. you have to have brake before idle otherwise when you slow it down to idle youll loop it or stall because of no rear brake skills.
