Wheely on a 750 Gixxer?

Hi Everybody

Could somebody please tell me if it is possible to make a Wheely on a 98`750 Suzuki with a complete Akrapovic Exhaust System, without playing with the Clutch??

Thanks for your Help

Its very possible. I used to do second gear stand-ups on my friends just by bouncing it up, no clutch needed.

Thanks your your Help to everybody, i guess that the Exhaust System will to the Rest.
The only matter is that the Guy who is the Owner of the Bike, crashed it a Month ago.
I have to take a look on the Bike, before i Buy it at all.

Has this Bike any typical Problems?? What did i specalliy have to check??

It depends on what and how hard he hit something. I have a 97 and love it. I have not had any problems with it since I got it. - wrecking and fixing ****. And yes, you should be able to do roll an's no problem. practice

So you are it this point just pulling post wheelies? Thas o.k., I guess then step one for the wheelie... buy a bike.

As far as specific things to look for on the bike, simple, pay as much as you can afford to throw into a running fan, shredding the money, now you can have fun on it.

Hello all,
I am new to the board. I've been riding about 5 years now. Corners mostly, but I would like to learn some of the basic tricks (catwalks, stand-ups, etc.). I have been practicing a lot by myself, but I haven't had much luck. I'm not ready to do the clutch method yet. Plus I have gotten a lot of differing theories on how to do it. Basically I start from a dead stop, roll up to about 6,500rpms, drop the throttle off and then bring it back to about 6-6500 again. I can get the wheel up for a little bit that way, but I have only hit the balance point twice that way. I think I just need to practice with someone that is real good at them now to get it down. Any advice welcome. Thanks

I'm riding the '02 750 and I clutch first. It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it. This is what I do.
Get up to about 4k in first gear.
I cover the clutch with two fingers, leave the gas where it is and pull in the clutch just a little bit past it's friction point.
Once I'm past the friction point, I give a little gas and let the clutch out. The whole process takes less than a second to do. The amount of gas you give it after you slip the clutch will dictate how fast the front end comes up. On our bikes, first gear gets very touchy once you're up around 9-10 so I try to get the front up to BP fast so you're not using the revs just to keep the wheel up.
Bouncing in first gear scares the **** out of me. Front end comes up mad quick and I feel like I'm all over the place. I bounce second around 50 mph and it comes up smooth. I just like to clutch first because it feels as though I have more control.
Just get out there and practice, first with very little throttle input after you slip the clutch just to see how the bike starts to come up. Then you can gradually increase how much throttle you give it once you see what the bike's doing at those revs.
Hope this helps.

The 98 750 is a classic. It strong like bull. The only thing I know of is that the upper fairing stay mount on the frame breaks easy. If its straight cheap and runs, get it and beat the crap out of it.
