Rolling The Throttle

When i clutch my r6 in first, the front end come up probably 3 feet(give or take) hovers a moment, then sets down. I'm stayin on the gas, so my question is, after i clutch it and it starts coming up, should i roll on more throttle to get it up higher? Any help is appreciated.

i just clutch to initally get the front end off the ground then power it up from there so to answer your question.......yes

Re: Rolling The Throttle

if you give it more throttle whan you clutch it at first and get it to BP then you can just stay on the gas smoothly. (im not sure if that came out right but oh well)

you can do it that way but you will gain more speed. the trick is to give it more gas when you are still clutching it so the front end comes up higher. as sort of explained above. then stay on the gas and adjust from there. eventually you will clutch right to bp everytime, it just takes practice

Re: Rolling The Throttle

i try to grip the throttle where when i clutch em up its enough gas to get it to where i want it fast, but not so much to throw my *** over real fast .. once im up i can normally hold my hand where i am and just roll off gas or use break .. that way i somewhat limit myself to how much gas so i dont go loopy loopy

Re: Rolling The Throttle

If you're high enough it won't drop it'll just run out of revs like my bike was doing in first gear the other day. Don't rush it though.

Re: Rolling The Throttle

I think you might be clutching it too high... Its not a power wheelie,, clutch at low rpm's like when your at 4000 rpm. That way you have more time to bring it up were it needs to be, before you hit the rev limiter or power out. Hopefully that works for you

Re: Rolling The Throttle

... FHL if your running outa RPM's your not in BP.

And that wheelie you posted looks like my 2nd wheelie i ever did... that was like maybe a foot off the groud.

Your goin to feel like such a jackass once you finally hit BP or atleast learn to do a wheelie and relize all the nonsence you talk isnt true.

this is very good advice, i was always clutchin my wheelies up way to high in the RPM's and would run outa RPM's right when i got close to BP and would come back down.

The trick is to start slow bring it to BP Fast as possible and keep it there, this way your RPM's go up bringing the wheelie to BP but once you hit BP your RPM's drop again and you have plenty of headroom to ride out the wheelie. but like the other guy said it sounds like you got more learning to do befor you should be worried about BP dont get in a hurry you'll just hurt yourself.

Just because the only video I have is from a month ago when I had only been doign standups for 2 days doesn't mean I'm not better now. Believe my I've hit it plenty of times. I think the best thing to do is get a feel for wheelies under the BP and then start bringing them higher but whatever.

The kid in my band is coming to practice again friday so as long as the weather is decent I'll get some more video to post.
