that bike should come up easy if u do it right. My friend rocks third gear on stock gearing on his 04 R6 all day. It just takes practice. If u get tired switch to sit downs. Sit back back on the seat get to your rpms where the bike starts to pull hard and clutch it and stay on the gas. Btw 6in. isnt much.

 

6 inches is F***** pathetic!!!! That was my point, i need help!!!!

 

Thats what I want to hear. The whole point of this is so I can wheelie at different speeds :YEAH Thanks for the help. By the way, laugh all you guys want, I still cant do a good sitdown. It just doesnt work

 

hey i ride a 2002 r6 and a 2003 f4i that is -2.
you can get the bike up at 20 in 2nd if you bounce and really rev it.
it is a 600 so you really have to work the bike to get it up.
just practice and keep revving harder until it works for you.

more gas and cover the brake

 

Ahhh comon man, I can bring it up that high in second on my KATANA. It should be easy on the r6. stand staggered, maybe a little bounce but i don't think it's nessasary, and bring bring it right up to just under redline and STAY ON THE GAS. Keep it at about 1/2-3/4 throttle. Otherwise it's just going to jerk and drop.
I found that with my bike it came up a lot fast if I was rolling at about 5k or so, just about a grand under peak torque, I'm not sure where peak torque is on yours but it might make it easier.

 

So i cant just do a quick slip, i have to pull it in and rev the **** out of it?

 

Pull the clutch in with one finger, rev it high drop it with full throttle.

 

I got an 03 636 and i bounce her up in 2nd going bout 40 without a problem. Any faster and it's even easier to bounce up. It took me a little bit to get the timing down but once you figure it out it shouldn't have a problem comming up for you. Cover the rear brake though, it saved my *** alot.

I wouldnt recommend practicing it if you are getting frustrated either. You might start to get aggrivated, bounce really hard and whack the throttle and next thing you know she shoots up without you expecting it. I just went out, practiced for a bit, when i got pissed rode it off then tried again. Then one day it clicked and i was riding em out. Right now i go 1/4-1/2 mile, my goal for next year is at least a couple miles. Just take it slow and it will all fall into place.

 

I kinda made it sound by my post above that power is the way to go. All i meant was that the R6 has enough ***** to come up with a good bounce. I'm sure you heard it before, but clutchin better then powerin em up. Just takes a bit longer to get down. Im still workin on clutchin up wheelies. Just takes time. Good luck and stay safe.

 

OK, here's what you need to do.. and i ride a 04 R6 w/ 15/52 gearing.

To do a 2nd gear stagger'd clutch up: get to the stagger'd stance, accelerate to around 5k rpms (like 30 mph w/ my gearing) pull the clutch in, give it gas then let the clutch out. NO BOUNCE NEED'D

To do 3rd gear ones, the technique is the same, but need to be turning around 6500-8k rpm's to get it to come up.

4th gear requires that you bounce on the pegs and clutch at the same time... i'm still working on this.

Also, i've found that when your in the stagger'd stance position, if your almost sitting down on the seat of the bike, it makes it alot easier for it to come up.

Try that out, and let me know how it works. If the weather is decent, i'll go out and get some better rpm figures for ya tommorrow

 

PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE
PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE
PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE
PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE
PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE
PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE
PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE

and then you will get it for sure

 

if its not coming up slowly use more revs til you find the sweet spot,also remember theres not as much engine brake in 2nd so make sure you cover the brake and remember when you roll off the throttle it wont come down as easy.

 

Thanks for the help. It's snowing right now , so when it clears up in a few days i'll give it a try and let you know how it goes.

 

go about 40-45 in second, clutch it like you normally do in first but hold the clutch a hair longer than you would in first. should come up easily. I rock a 03 636 and Im 206lbs. also when you give it throttle hold it at a constant and when you feel it going a little too far let off a little but not all the way so you can keep the front from hitting the ground, eventually after a while you will get used to it and will be able to play with the throttle to keep it up longer until you get to BP. Good luck guy.
