hey guys first time post.
cool site.

I wanna know the best way to do stand ups. i can do seated wheelies at BP (or bz, ba whateva u guys are callin it now- lol) and have just started shifting gears, but i cant work out how to stand up do u stand up before u clutch it, or once its up?

AAAAAGGGHHHH help me, i have to look around the fairing now.
my bike is a 02 zx636, +2 on the rear.
PS anyone from AUS on here?

 

Your balance point will be higher if you stand it up, and we have an Aussie forum here.

 

ok.....

1.So how do i do i do the stand up?

2. whats the G-O with the aussie forum?

 

whichever way you feel more comfortable. Theres no wrong way to do it

 

I thought the bike was lower during a standup because your body counterweights the bike? And, doesn't the balance point always stay the same while your body positioning and speed changes the bikes relationship too it?

 

I also think that the bp point is lower, cos your standing up. I do both way, but mayby it's easier to stand before you clutch. can't remember for sure, because of the ****** snow haven't been riding in 3 months

 

just stand up and hold on thight. start slow and give alittle bounce

 

The way I teach it is to move your left foot to the back peg(it transfers more weight) and on a liter bike you just snap the throttle. Something smaller requires more weight movement.

 

so you think that everyone doing standups should go for the left foot on the rear peg? ive seen people do it both ways. . .is it easier

 

I do it both ways it just depends on the bike and how comfortable you feel with it. Like they say start small and work your way up. Just try standing up and getting used to how the bike reacts whe your standing.

 

IF I'M IN THIRD I STAND UP FIRST AND THEN PULL IT UP. RPM'S AT ABOUT 9000. IF I'M IN SECOND I JUST TWIST IT AT 5,000 OR UP. THEN I STAND UP, IF I WANT THEN I SIT BACK DOWN AND CLICK THIRD. ON A 636 YOU'LL PROBABLY WANT TO STAND UP FIRST, BECAUSE ITS EASIER TO GET YOUR WEIGHT BACK SO YOU CAN LIFT THE FRONT HOOP EASIER! ON A 1000 YOU JUST HIT THE THROTTLE.

 

I don't clutch at all standing up, just bounce a little on the pegs and whack the throttle (starting around 6-8k rpms). I have a gixxer 750, but the three guys in my group who have 600's have no problem doing it that way either (a zx-6r included). One thing that helps (this may feel and look very goofy at first) is to stick your butt as far up and back as possible. This will make sure that your weight is back and not resting on the handlebars. No need to put the left foot back. Just remember, cover the rear brake and wear your gear!

 

I rock a 96 zx6r and I always have to clutch them up. Power wheelies dont work. No matter i like cluthin them up better. More predictible. Also even though i'm still learning I like to stand up first then pop them. But that is just me. Do u think if I jetted the bike I could get more torque to power wheelie?

 

The 636 came out in 03 Just wondering what you had
You can stand up first then clutch it up once you get more comfortable you can clutch and standup at the same time
Just keep practicing in will start feeling more comfortable

 

The 636 came out in 03 Just wondering what you had
[/QUOTE] in 02 everywhere but the us got special edition 636's that are in the 02 plastics.

 

I stand up first but I never tried the left foot on p peg but that technique works good with bmx.

 

To do standups on your 636 just cruise around 55-60mph (I don't know what that is in KHM) bounce on the pegs and give it a fist full of throttle and it will come up. It will take some practice because you have to get your timeing right. When the bike is coming up from the bounce is when you give it some throttle. It will take a couple of times to get it but u will.

 

thanks heaps guys! gonna go out and practise tommorow.
im in aus and we got the 636 late '01. unfortunatley its not the Phat '03 one.
Let u know how it goes...
