buonce it. I bouce it in 3rd at 70 have it to the balance point by 80
in second bounce at 40. I can clutch a six all day, but I hate clutching the 1000. Ive been practicing though. I can get it up decent in 3rd and fourth 2nd is to jumpy right now

 

in second @ 40mph the rpms are still pretty low, how hard do you pull, or push cause i'm a small guy around 140lb.
does weight and strength have a lot to do with it?

 

I pull a little, start at about 55 or sixty, get used to bouncing it up. It will come up w/ gas only, but its jerky, just bounce down give it some gas at the same time. It takes alittle practice to get used to it. then work on going slower

 

clutch will get you off the ground, torque will keep you at balance point. Bounce on pegs, not your bars. Unless slow stuff, stay away from 1st gear. My SV comes up like a missle in third with clutch, but won't bounce worth shiat, forks are shot from rough landing
