Im have a problem gettin it up (ha ha) in 2nd. I can wheelie in first preaty good now and want to move onto 2nd but it doesnt seem to wanna come up. Any help would be greatly appriciated

 

if its a 600 youll probly need to clutch it. to bring it up in 2nd.

clutch it and don't be scrrd

 

yah thats what i do in first. Ive tried to clutch it up but it just doesnt seem to wanna cooperate. At what rpm should i start in 2nd, and what should i rev it to?

 

not sure on the rpm, you'll have to open it up though. just play with it a lot. I'm usualy arround 60mph and then clutch it. Just keep playin with it and feel it out. You'll get it.

 

cool man thanks, Im gonna practice more tomarrow. Im also tryin to shift into 2nd from 1st. cant get that either.

 

bro dont shift its really hard on the tranny. get it to BP and theres no need to shift...youll just mob it for days

I dont even clutch my wheelies on my R6 in 2nd gear. You have to mess around with the rpms, but i just bounce it and open throttle(standing up), and use my body weight to help pull it back a lil as well, comes right up. I think Im at like 6k rpms before i open the throttle. If your sitting down, you'll definately have to clutch a 600.

 

If you plan on shifting, even though its hard on the tranny, dont do it between 1st and 2nd, cause you have to go over neutral. For shifting between gears, I let the engine burp a lil bit, on and off the throttle a lil usually lets it go smoothly. If you want to shift through gears while one up, practice first w/ two wheels down. Lets you get a feel for it.

that only works on newer bikes. i have to clutch the **** outta my f3 to get up in 2nd. but its also a really old clutch

 

ive got stock sprockets also if that makes a differance.

 

what rpm are you at and what do you take it up to?

 

I have stock sprockets as well. I just kinda do it and dont look at the rpm range much. I think i start off at around 6k rpms and after i bounce it and open throttle and get it balanced, im pretty high in rpms, 10k plus. Just go out and practice on it, it took me a couple to learn exactly how to get it up in 2nd w/out clutching. Work on bouncing it, open throttle while the shocks are coming back up and throw your body weight back, while standing up, all in sync. It is easier on newer bikes. But if you find yourself just not being able to pull this off, then just clutch it, gets it up there to the BP faster!

:YEAH I run a 99 R6, and i'm -1 on the front sprocket and it helped!! I have the best luck standing, get the bitch to about 7500rpm and whack the throttel and bounce most of my weight on the pegs AT THE SAME TIME!! If U try putting all the weight on the bars U tend to go to on side or the other, at least taht was the problem I had!! U might not get it the first time, but practice and get the timing down!! U'll get it!!! :YEAH :YEAH :YEAH

 

 

why didn't my rocker dudes show up? damn me

 

Clutch It!!!

 

CLUTCH IT MAN

 

like everyone one else said "Clutch it" , well unless you have a 636 then you just power them up. Good luck man! JAKE

 

no u dont. on the R6 in second. u should be able to rev it up to about 9 or 10k. then just let off and snap the throttle hard again while pulling up at the same time. and itll go up. but usually i just do stand up. since it looks alot cooler. and easier to control as well. for stand up, rev to 8k. then let off throttle and push the front down very quickly before u snap the throttle again. shell pop up like nuthin. thats in second BTW. same thing for 3rd gear except u gotta rev it to 10k. i personally hate clutching. it feels like u have no control, and its really hard on your clutch. but im sure it would work great if i actually practice and learn it properly.
