Anyone got this thing up in third?

 

a guy from our group gets his up in 3rd on the freeway all the time. he has stock gearing too. I can only get my f4i up in 2nd with stock gearing. can you get it up in 3rd?

 

my friend has his dropped -1 on the drive sprocket and he lifts his up with no problem in 2nd. but i dont know about third. i figure it can. i can kinda of my F4i with the -1 but i really havent tried. (im stickin to 2nd for now)

 

i noticed that as well... not to mention it also took way too much effort for my lazy ***. dropping it a tooth was the best thing i ever did. first feels like its got unlimited power and 2nd now feels like it has the power of 1st with stock gearing. (cant wait till i get my 06 gsx-r 750)


if i were you id deff. get the -1 sprocket! :YEAH

 

no not yet.. i got it up about a foot, but it was to much effort. Im gonna change the sproks and see what happens

 

yea, all you need so to go -1 on the front. then you dont have to buy a new chain or ne thing. (unless you need a new one)

by the way... do you know chris he's out in phoenix, AZ. i think he's going to school there or something. hes got an F4i which i think is or was out of commision and a 954?

 

yeah they come up in 3rd. with a lot of bounce and clutch of course...ask mastershake on stock gearing too

 

an f4i will come up in 4th with just -1. i didnt do it but i witnessed it

 

sick.. just went out today and got it up.. i put my foot on the passenger peg and it came up 2 1/2 feet id say.. tried it again and really ripped it and it was up fine.. now i just have to get use to it.. but i think i might still go down one..

And no i dont know chris. but me and my friends from CO that came down all have bikes and dont mind riding with other peeps.. weve only been here about 5 months now..

 

I still have the stock gearing on my f4i,, and it will come up in 2nd with me on the tank,, and 3rd doing a reg stand up with just a little bounce. i have a -1 and +2 and +5,,, i just havent put them on yet,

 

on my 600rr i got 1 down and 15 up and can get it up in any gear

 

i could bounce and clutch up my f3 in 3rd with -1 in the front... now i'm -2 still have to bounce it but not much.

 

I can get my R1 up in third no problem. ok ok, on a more serious note now. on my 98 F3 i could get it up in 3rd only if i clutched it standing up. otherwise it just was not happening in 3rd.

 

i can get up with me on the tank but only like 1 foot and a half. You can get it up and ride it out? And i hardly think a 4th gear wheelie is possible on stock gearing. I used to have a powwer commander on my f4i and could only do 2nd almost 3rd. Not i have no power commander and my exhaust is shortened for 12's and which gave the bike a little more power but stull no 3rd gear wheelies. Trust me, i know what im doin. I think it may be because you east coast stunters have those 49 state models which have bigger cams = more power in stock bikes then here.

 

what would be good just to able to power third? was thinking 1 down and 2 up would be enough

 

I know alot of guys with 600rrs are changing sprockets, but i haven't felt a need too. Im no pro by any means and i too learned how to wheelie from the advice from this forum. 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

 

why do you need to get it up in 3rd? bring it up in 2nd and balance it.

 

I can get my **** up in third bounce/clutch I'd say I have about as much power as a 600rr just way steeper gearing so it's probably even harder. I can barely get the bike up in second bouncing.

 

Also, just because I say bounce/clutch doesn't mean its the same thing as bouncing it up. Using bouncing is only an aid to the clutch and I like the way it shoots up quicker, bouncing alone in higher gears will cause the bike to come up unpredictably.

 

my f3 come up in 3rd with little effort, -1/+3..
