I have a 02 gsx-r 600 -1 in the front and +3 on the back and i still can't get the fukin thing up in 2nd gear. 1st gear i can do at any speed but 2nd i try it going fast and i try going slow and i can only get it up about 3 inches off the ground. and yes i do use the clutch. so what am i doing wrong.

 

A little less clutch and stay on the gas. Don't forget to roll off the gas as it gets higher.

 

sit way back in the seat, and clutch the **** out of it. it will def come up.

 

More throttle and quicker clutch.

 

sit down or stand up?

 

that'll come right up, standup, stand staggered, go at like 5-6k, rev to like 10-11k and drop the clutch, should come right up. If not then bounce and clutch.

 

fu(k it, give me the bike, it'll come up in 2nd. Seriously though, listen to the others, they know what they're talking about

 

A little off topic, but I have an 01 gsxr600. I was thinking of going +2 in the back, would the stock chain be ok with that?? or Would I have to put the front -1?

 

its definitely not the bike, its you. i used to bounce up an 01 gix600 in 3rd w/ no problem. your **** should come right up

 

More throttle. You have to be staggered if you aren't using lots of throttle. Don't be scared of how much throttle you giving it as long as your in the 5000rpm and up range. but make sure you let some off when it comes up.

 

Thanks for all the help. I was tryin them sitting down but i'm going out now and try them standing up. Is standing up better than sitting?

 

I had the problem with my R6, but if I use more gas and faster clutch it comes up a little at first, then at 8k it bounces right up...a little nerve racking at first.

 

I went up 6 in the rear and down 1 in the front and kept my stock chain. on my 02 gixxer 750

So I would think +2 in the rear would be fine with a stock chain.

 

stand up and committ to leaning back. Leaning back was the hardest part.

 

I have a completley stock 03 gsxr 600 stand up second gear for about a mile, dead serious, not the bike so keep practicing and you will be fine, no clutch on my end by the way, never clutched a wheelie before. I guess it's just preference.

 

i have a stock 00 f4 and its my second day riding, i can clutch up second for about half mile right now.... your bike is more than capable of doin it- you probly just need a lil practice good luck and watch the brake

 

Your avatar is just great, I love it

 

Does anyone shift while riding one out and if so are yall siting down/ staggered stance/stand on front pegs? Can anyone explain please.

 

Hey SillyR1, how do you go about bouncing up second? I have an 04 r6 -1 in the front. just curious, staggered? frontpegs? i assume your standing. Thanks a lot

 

I don't think anyone shifts anymore. You can ride bp for miles.
