Re: what rpm in r 6
Here's a post I put few minutes ago on the other topic: clutching 600 on this forum
******
For start just to say that I can bounce/power up 2nd gear on my full stock 636 '03 and ride it as long as I have clear road. (just for referience - that someone doesn't understand that he can pull 2nd if he never rode a wheelie in his life)
******
Post:
Just yesterday I figured out how much better is to clutch up 2nd gear. Until now I didn't clutch wheelies too much, but yesterday I was intrigued to try 2nd gear clutching. I got it straight to BP (well little below but enough to ride it loooong, cuz im used to stand ups and don't have the best feeling for sitdown 2nd gear bp) from 4th or 5th try. The best thing compared to bouncing and powering it up is that you have alot more rpm to play with when it's up, and you don't have to jump up and down on the bike like and idiot. I go to around 6-7k clutch in with one finger, rev it up (dunno how much, by feeling) and release the clutch. It is super easy and you have more controle when bike is coming up, and when it's up you will have it at 8-9k if you go direct to BP (little below is enough), and will be able to ride it realy long. The best thing is that riding at 8-9k is so smooth that I couldn't believe. All of my power ups where at 12-13k I remember when learnning bouncing 2nd, when it goes up it is scary. Another good thing about sitdowns is you don't have muscle pains after long rides.

Re: what rpm in r 6
You shouldnt have to worry about what RPM you're at.. you should listen to the bike more than watch.. once you know how to listen to the engine, you can tell exactly where you need to be. Just do it by the sound of your engine, if it wont come up.. rev it up more next time.
