When you're clutchin' it up on a 600, about what rpm will the front end come up pretty steadily without jumping up to fast (when using method #2 in the sticky of how to properly do a clutch wheelie...dumpin' the clutch) while in 1st gear going about 20-30mph?

-leadr

 

when you are accelerating slip the clutch real fast and at the same time give it way more gas (if it wont come up that is ) if you are sitting put your *** way back no matter what. when im at the balance point when im sitting i cant see ****

 

aight i'll give it a shot tomorrow and see what happens

 

r6 n ****, How far are you from Revere? Are you ever at Revere or Nahant beach? Let me know if your ever in the area.

 

I have no idea, I'm not expert but I just roll around 20mph then slip the clutch, give it some throttle, and slip it back out (not dump but like half speed dump).

I am pretty sure I'm getting at least 5000-6000 revs though (rolling around 4000 and slipping it at 8-10k)

Don't look at your tach, just feel it out.

 

when clutching second i go 40-45mph steady speed keeping the throttle steady at that speed and then pull in the clutch (you can hear the rpms rise already when you pull in the clutch) and then give it one good whack! and release the clutch a split second later...... i dont look at the gauge or anything.....i go by the sound of it.

 

On my f3 I just roll 15-20 and rev it up till i can hear it in the powerband, I don't have a working tach so i have no choice but to listen. Then i just slip the clutch slightly slower than a dump. It comes up fine I just need to get used to doing wheelies on the bike cause i still get the "oh SH@# feeling"

 

I think some of the other guys alreay mentioned it but dont look down at your tach. Listen to your engine and just keep trying a little bit at a time until you get it up.

 

It happens to me especially when I it goes the front wheel comes up higher than expected, and then I panic and close the throttle

 

Here's a post I just put today on some other 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. I will go ride today and shoot some footage probably...
