Re: slow wheelies

holy hell you are canadian, do them in first gear, don't worry about idle quite yet, with that gearing you need to be at BP right away otherwise your gear will rap out fast.. start at about 10 mph, get used to clutching it up, and being on the rear brake, you will NEED brake control to keep you from looping.. with that gearing you will need to be VERY smooth on the throttle.. work on brake control before turning up your idle, good luck, let us know how it goes, also, get down to about 15 psi

Re: slow wheelies

damn with that gearing you need to be very light on the brake (once your at BP) and Keep your THROTTLE HAND LOCKED!!! once your at BP). You move that throttle barley a centimeter back N forth when at BP and you'll be see sawing all over the place. Im still learning myself, but when I had my gsxr at 59 in the rear it pissed me off SO MUCH I went back to -1f and 5R to better learn brake and throttle control. And now I want the 59 again.

Re: slow wheelies

ride the brake after you pop it up slow, less gas more brake

My guess is it's a lot only bike. If not that wouldn't be much fun to ride the street with.
My f4easy is at 62 rear & stock front. It's not as twitchy as you might think. Not nearly as twichy as my old r6 with -2 +10.....

Re: slow wheelies

yeah r6's are naturally twitchy, even stock geared, my f4i has a 56 rear and i didn't notice too much diff, i had a 900rr with a 64 tooth, that was wayyyyyyyyy twitchy!
