Anyone able to get it up in 3rd gear on a 6? Ive tried bouncing (too much coordination) and I went -1 in the front for a while but that didnt work so I changed back to stock cause it killed my gas milage ( 3 hour round interstate trip to school) Any help would be great... 2nd's a piece of cake but dont want to kill my tranny with the upshift to third.

 

You should have left the -1 on. I have a 03 636 and a can clutch it right up in third. Are you trying stand up s or sit downs? Clutch or roll on?

 

Your power band is out of adjustment take it to your local shop and get them to take a look at it

 

clutch...normally ill be around 65-70....if im lucky itll get about 3 in off the ground...got a slipon and k&n air, no commander thou....think that might be it......whats up with this power band adj???

 

when i was only -1 in the front i was able to get it up in 5th..little hairy clutching it up around 100 but its possible..all about technique

 

Why?

 

+1 about the powerband adjustment....take it to the dealer asap before it gets worse.

 

Its not the power comander and for god sakes the bike has no power band. Just keep practicing and take it slow. Baby steps

 

ur no fun

 

Sorry...I felt bad for the guy

 

dang you ruined it ha ha

 

I just dont understand why anybody wants to do a wheelie going that fast.

 

ha ha +1

 

whats up with this powerband adj never heard of it... its pretty new 05 with 17000K thou... how do they adj it?

 

ya 05 it prob needs to be adjusted its just like a power band on a dirty bike i dont know how they work but i know they do.....I dunno how they adjust it either prob with a powerbandadjustertool lol i dunno just call the dealership they will hook you up

 

I give up

 

Me to who doesnt know about a power band gah

 

 

k since no one else will help ya i'll break it down (not that you should be doing 3rd gear wheelies anyway caus ur askin for trouble) but slow down to about 60... stand staggered, and preload the forks and as you are compressing slip the clutch and push down and back with your feet(primarily your left foot since its on the rear peg) sounds dumb but its all about how you shift your weight... the same goes for clutchin up slow stuff on a wet street. seriously though... unless you plan on killin urself... slow it down some!!!

 

i got a carbon fiber look powerband
