(A) What's 2nd gear?

(B) Turn your idle up to 3500rpm's and start learning brake control. Bring the bike up and MAKE SURE YOU USE THE REAR BRAKE TO BRING YOU BACK DOWN.

(C) Have a friend video tape you, you think you'll be high but you really aren't that high. Watch the video and you'll realize you aren't high at all and that the bike needs to be much farther back.

(D) Practice...

I have a +10 and its no big thing to bring it up from a stop in second. I havent tried, but I'd bet its doable on stock gears.

depends on bike CC and gearing...

BUT i know it's doable from a slow speed even on a stock geared 600... it's all about the throttle/clutch/technique timing...

keep practicing!!!

-1 down +3 on my 636.. can't do them from a stop, but maybe at about 5mph I can bring it up. Doesn't sound very healthy though.

I agree...don't be foolish, this entire site is PS and if you try what you see you will probably die or get very hurt and brake the bike and lost of bad things will happen to you...this is just a conspiracy site that moto factories run just so they can sell more new bikes and parts...
