wheelie help

i'm getting kinda good at first gear cluthching the 929 up, i'm still not comfortable enought to where i could change to second gear while up in a wheelie.
now i've tried cluthching it up in second with no luck, so my question is should i be going faster than 50 mph or what i'm i doing wrong.
i wanna be able to bring it up around 60 to 65 mph.
any help would be great.

While youre already on a wheelie in first gear its really easy to shift in the air, just clutch it up in fist about 10 - 15 mph ride it at balance point for as long as you can then when your tachin out your rpms really quick let off the throttle a bit and shift up and then so on through the rest of the gears. As far as clutchin up in second gear you can prob do that going 15 mph just rev it up and dump the clutch.

Re: wheelie help

get the rpms to about 6000 rev it to 10000 and pop the clutch. You may want to try sitting further back in the seat. This works well on my zx9r, so your bike should do it too.
