I ride a 2004 Yamaha R6. Does anyone know what type of gearing I would need for slow speed parking lot wheelies?

Stock gearing is 16/48 and I'm currently running a 15/49 gearing setup with a 520 chain conversion.

Yes, I did a search but I couldn't find what I was looking for. Thanks!

 

ive got 15/50 on my 03. its torquier than stock but im bout to go up to a 60 in the rear. taking it off the streets

 

I've got a -1, + 2, on a 900rr. the front comes up easy and I can still ride the street with no problem, dropped top speed from about 180 to 160.(give or take some). Think you need 60 or 70 to go slow.

 

I got the same on my 05 and fell it needs to be alittle more. I was thinking of a 15/55 or 14/52 (10 over)

 

i have an 05 r6 and i run mine stock in front and 54 in rear, i was -1 +6 but went back to stock in the front cuz it was a little too far for ridin the streets which i do a lot of, for lot stuff -1 +6 is probly perfect but if you ride highways your bike will be screaming an aweful lot, i'm thinkin about going back to the -1 in front and keepin the rear the same as i'm getting into slow stuff more now but i still kill the streets so i'm not sure if i want to or not, for lots only deffinately -1 +6 for streets might wanna stay stock in front, just my

 

sounds good^^ I have a street/lot bike also so I dont want to get it tooo for up their. I may have to try your set up..

 

A shamless plug for OLD MAN ROGERs sub-frame cages
(Thats my R6 in the pic)


His sub cage helps a lot. You can jump around on the rear pegs and they dont move a bit.

see his thread in the echo if you want to ask him any ??'s

• The 03-05 Yamaha R6 pegs are lowered and moved and out for better peg position!
• Other models are in the stock location except they are rotated on there axis so they don't fold up unless you fold them up, this also puts your foot on the grippy part of the peg during a wheelie.

how easy is it to ride wheelies with the setup that you have? And what's the slowest speed you can ride them?

so -1 / +6 is perfect if i turned the bike into a strictly stunt for lot stuff?

Thank you all for the replies.
