alright, i know you have said this stuff a thousand times, but i dont know which to do. i had a 600 which i clutched up everytime. now i have a new 1000 and it comes up easy with throttle.. thing is i'm scared to clutch the new bike in fear of looping.. give me a 600 and i'll clutch it up and wheelie.
give me a 1000, and i don't know what to do. am i just being a puss? any help?

Keep on clutchin it will just need to be done at a lower RPM now.

brandolb

yeah, but how low. roll to about 4k, rev to 8k and go or what. on the six i was doing about 15mph in 1st and revving to about 10k., and then taking off

KC Tony

Just start at a low rpm and work your way up

brandolb

first gear i think is kind of too much, so i've been trying to clutch in 2nd.
just practice popping the wheel higher and higher or what?

i rode an r1 and i clutched it up in 1st at like 5-1/2 and it did fine one thing clutching is more reliable but if i could just bounce it up id do that less wear and tear on **** clutching one to much is hard *** hell on em it streches **** that it shoulndt and burns clutches and if u dont cover the break o no they went a new bike **** lolo bounce it up dude

brandolb

see now i've heard that clutching does not waste the clutch as bad as people think.. when people clutch it they say it's kinda of like taking off from a stop light, don't slip it just let it out but a tad faster.

can you bounce your 250 or do you clutch it?

brandolb

read your post again and not quite sure what you're saying

Xtremepimpin

Not sure what ur trying to do also. U tryin stand-ups or slow stuff?

brandolb

sit down, stand ups mostly at a higher speed, no slow stuff yet

Mr. Negative

Clutch everything.

brandolb

i hear that a lot, to clutch it.. i feel if i just dump that bitch then i'll loop it.
i can pop the front wheel up with clutch in 1st and 2nd, it's just keeping it there i have trouble with.

i own a 98 gsxr750 and i bounce either in 2nd then switch to 3rd and so forth but if im on the freeway i bounce it in 3rd it's kinda hard on a 750 because u need to pull harder but i tried a 1000 b4 and i say just bounce it you could even pick it up in 3rd just sitting down...less wear and tear...good luck....cpRydaz san diego.....

i clutch it up almost every time .unless im sititng on the tank. i dont weigh 120 or 130tho lol

jdridin

Dude clutch it up everytime. Just cover your rear brake and take baby steps to wheelie in 2nd and 3rd gears. Not to bash on you or anything but if you got a 1000 and do not know how to clutch it up in 2nd or 3rd you need to go back to a 600 and practice some more. But anyway good luck and cover your break.

i dont know what to tell u.. my friend has the new 1000 gixxer... bounces 2nd and rides em out for bout 4 - 5 miles... just hanging out up there.. if u wanna get good with slower wheelies u will need to clutch, gassing it will bring up your speed too much... as for me.. i dont know how to bounce im just learning that... i try and try and try and try.... it only comes up bout 2 feet.... my friend bounced my bike in 4th the other day to show me its me thats retarded... o well.. i will get it soon or a later... my friend working 2nd gear clutch ups now and has them down well on the 1000.. but he was a lil shaky for a few tries, but he been wheelieing for like 15 years.

ya no ****, i feel like that to sometimes, that i need the six back, but o well.
thanks for the help.

Just keep the Gix pretty and stunt the R6.. No use ****ing up a nice ride when you have an older less expensive bike you already know how to stunt.

Mr. Negative

practice, practice, practice and after that practice some more.

Gix6

lets trade :YEAH

just keep practicing u will get it, plus if u clutch it right its not like ur just dumping it so just start out little and work ur way up.
