Re: 600rr
the comfy BP on a 600rr is with arround 70mph of wind resisstance. my 600rr comes up in third at 50 mph and im not the smoothest on throttle control cause i pay to much attention to other **** arround me. so i like to rock third way better then secound. also when useing third you wont hual as much ***, if the front starts to go down its a bitch to bring back up and that stops you from pinning gears. this sunday i will hopfully get some video and pictures online of what the 600rr can do

I can hit sit downs in 1st 2nd and can do standups in 1st 2nd and 3rd, bounce with 2nd and 3rd. Rider weight and body position are factors as well as body language especially on the way up. Im bout 185lbs, 5'11 or so. I ve pulled standups in the rain with a tire that has over 4000miles on it. Its not the gearing or the power thats lacking. Try little changes in the way you hit them, like adjusting the speed that you're at when you pull them and rpms. If you're not using the clutch, you're asking for a huge Dr. bill. Power wheelies are dangerous. From reading what you have said, Im not sure you're getting them past the hump yet, and when you do its gonna go fast, straight up and if you are lucky, you'll cut the throttle in time. If not GET WELL SOON. Using the clutch is easy, really, i was scared as hell too, but just get in a parking lot and clutch it in first, increasing the rpms a little each time until it feels high. Use a slight bounce, this will prepare you for the 2nd and 3rd gear ones, you'll just be going faster. Then get a friend to record you, you'll find that you are no where near the bp. Then the fun and frustration begin. Good luck

Not hating on what you can do or what is comfortably to you but. why 3rd? You say your not the smoothest on the throttle right? So you need more engine brake to save your *** from looping. Picking it up at 50 is nice to know the bike can do. But why not pick it up in 2nd and hold a bp wheelie at like 60-65, the speed of trafic. Those are the best. And 2nd gear will give you the engine brake you need if you go a little to far back, just let off and you'll come right down. I can do 3rd gears on my f4i if i shift to it from 2nd and i can tell the diff in engine brake.

Re: 600rr
alright. Why Third gear? when i rock em in third i can move the throttle a whole lot and not have a bike that looks like its giving head, its hard to only move ur wrist 1mm up n down while wheelien and hitting bumps so it just smooths out ur reaction to the bike dipping or lifting. and also i can rock em at 65mph its just way back at the coasting point and it doesn't feel good yet for me. i still kinda lock up when i float past BP but third does have enough engine break. and yeah about getting squirly drop some tire pressure. im running a almost bald michellen takeoff on 24psi.

Re: 600rr
well,before i had good throttle control my bike bounced a lot or as mastershake calls it *giving head* but i learned to ease on and off the gas to adjust the height not flick the throttle around and mines are pretty smooth...if your smooth with the throttle in the first place you wont have to chop the throttle to get engine brake to keep you from going back,just keep it smooth at the bp with slight throttle adjustments.

Re: 600rr
my 03 f4i with stock gearing will come up in second no problem but when it comes to third i have to bounce and clutch, thats why second gear is my gear of choice for wheelies, second tops out just under 100mph anyways and why go faster than that on one wheel? Second will also pop up, a little hard, with me on the tank and im 5'11" and weigh 180lbs. Thats why I ordered a front spocket to drop it one and that will be a world of difference. My friend did it on his 01 and he can get it up sitting on the tank much smoother now.
