Hey guys I am wondering how to wheelie my 2003 R1 in third gear sitting down? What RPM's all that fun stuff. thanks Joe the bike is stock also

 

why third?, why not second or first.....

 

go to 12k,dump the clutch

 

Same as you would in any other gear.. just give it a little more RPMs. Third on an R1... Wow.. thats gonna be fast

 

i can wheelie the bike in first easy and second easily I want to try 3rd for highway stuff.

 

F third....get to balance point in second....go all day and night on the highway!!!!!!!!!

 

ur bikes does 90 in first why notuse first mroe hw stuff

 

i think it will come up in third gear clutching at about 4-5 thousand rpm. but you got to work it

 

If you can get 1st and 2nd up why are you asking for advice on third?

I find it funny how people ask what rpms to clutch at, just do it. I haven't looked at my tach in a wheelie ever.

 

if your so concerned with third clutch her up in second and shift to third. someone said that would be fast on this post already i'll second that one. totally outa control at that speed, you know it won't really steer going that fast it'll fight you .

 

I won't even wheelie on the highway in 3rd with -1 +5, just cause I'd rather do it at 45mph in 2nd.

 

if that baby will do over 100 in first, it's got to do what, 125ish in 2nd? In third 135-140? So why not just 2nd. But anyways, if it's tricky I'd stand up, maybe give it a little bounce and then expiriment with revs. start out bringing it up 3-4k at first and work from there

 

**** third gear.....

1st = parkin lot
2nd = highway

enough said

 

If you know how to do it in 2nd, just do the same thing in 3rd only put a bit more "umph" into it lol... But I have to say that I'm with the rest of these guys on here, why do you want to do 3rd when you can break 120 in 2nd??? There seems to be no need to do anything in 3rd unless you have that bike geared down like a **** or something. But whatever creams your twinky I guess...

 

I had -1+2 on mine and doing standups in 4 gear,no clutch.in 2 gear doing 120?ya maybe at 12k rpms.

 

screw it I will just keep doing it in 2nd then I had a R6 before this and it was geared totally different so I've been on the highway in 2nd with my R1 and wheelie it I just didnt know if there was and advantage to 3rd wheelies. Thanks for all the responses hahahahahaahah

 

Dude if you wanna wheelie at 120 then do it!!! For third, stand up and bounce and clutch the crap out of it. I could do it on my '02 (not for very long because I'm new to all this wheelieing sport bikes stuff), but it will definately come up.

 

Do it!!!! My teamate Sick-1 , rocks the ish outta his '04 and a '01

 

same thing get it in second and go all night

 

Get your 1 and 2 down and you'll know how to get it up in 3
