I have a 2001 Yamaha R6 and i am trying to do wheelies and learn burnouts, (I am new here, first post) and i really don't know what i am doing. any tips would be nice. Thanks

 

gotta learn to ride the bike first
learn clutch contol
get comfortable

 

Start slow ,baby steps ,try learning how to run out first gear sitting/standing ,always wear your gear ,R6's are awsome but if you dont respect em they will bite you in the ***.ALWAYS COVER THE BACK BRAKE

 

couldnt say it better...

i got an 2001 R6 and i love it!! but the BP on R6 are a little small and pretty high compared to most bikes. but once you learn how to ride it, youll rock it like no other!!

welcome to Stuntlife when I first started on my R6 I would always try wheelies one gear higher than what I was shooting for. For instance, if I wanted to learn 2nd gear wheelies I would roll in 3rd gear and try to bring the front up using the clutch just to get a feel of how the bikes respondes at that speed/gear. In 3rd I'd clutch and the front would come up a certain hight. I would know then in 2nd what I needed to do to get the front up high enough to ride it out. I would have to either clutch it more or hit the throttle more at a certain speed. Standups, same way, but standup techniques. Mentally, for me, this was a little safer than just popping it up in 1st or 2nd, especially if you've never done it before. This technique helped me gain confidence and I eventually learned to ride 1st and 2nd gears in no time, without looping it. Have fun, and be safe! Oh, and cover that back brake!

i have an 02 r6 burn out was the first thing i learned hold the front brake with 2 fingers and give it gas while you stand over the bike. dont forget to buy new tires regularly

 

find some people to ride with find a nice road ask questions and practice practice :YEAH

 

practice makes perfect!!!i had the same problem on tha f2,i finally geared it and it wheelies like and mf.yea like they said,wear ur gear and COVER THAT BACK BRAKE!!!!good luck bro

 

ride With Someone Who Is Doing What You Want To Do. Learning From Someone Else Is The Best Way. Good Luck.

Peace

 

I am having the wheelie problem on my 01 R6.. I have to clutch it in first gear to get it up, but I can only pop it up. I have tried so hard and cant clutch it in 2nd gear either .. I have tried standing up also and I can pop it up in 2nd alittle. ... Does having any aftermarket parts help? or can a stock R6 enough?????????

 

pull that high revving beast, my 02 r6 with a 00 motor comes up with ease in first if you pull up a little bit

 

practice practice practice.......Just make sure you always wear your gear and cover the back brake. Riding a dirtbike or four wheeler if you have one or any friends do will kinda show you how to work the clutch and throttle as to how the bike will respond. This will just let you get the feel. Power on streetbikes is much more than dirtbikes or four wheelers, so be careful
