im havin a problem getting second gear to come up more than like a foot. i dont know what im doin wrong, all my friends say it looks like im doin it right and every once in a while i catch it nice and itll come up good. but i dont get it. any kinda help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

 

Practice... they will come up on power and a little bounce in second, clutchin' just needs practice

 

yea like the other guy said.. u can power them up and bounce the front forks in second. have u tried bringin ur sprocket down a tooth? it helps a lot with secodn gear wheelies

 

i actually have a sprocket 3 up in the back, i just havent put it in yet cuz one of my friends wants to buy the bike and i think im gonna get a 600rr. but yea ive bounced it up in second before but id rather learn to clutch it up cuz i hear its a lot smoother and predictable. i power up first all the time but i hate it cuz you cant hold it for long before you run out of rev.

 

yeah i am still tryin' to learn to clutch it... I can bounce it up to BP in second easily... everytime now. ANd ride it for as long as i want. But i do want to learn clutchin' so i can get to BP sooner. Flat tires suck ***

 

when i clutch up my f4i, i have to bounce and clutch.
it takes alittle gettinused to, the timing was odd for me (coming from powering up 1st all the time)
im -1 +2, but im also at 6000 ft up (colorado springs)

i wouls say get alittle higher in the revs, i did mine ~ 8000 ish, clutch/bouce at the same time and it came right up to bp.


hope that helps

 

dont let off the gas when you pop the clutch, actually have to be giving more then when you pulled it in ...

 

yea i gotta try tonight cuz one of my friends was tellin me that i have to keep rolling on the gas slowly to keep it up, i know one time i got it up like a foot and gave it another tap on the throttle before it went down and it came right up, but i didnt know if i should be doing it that way.

 

well that way would be okay......eventually your gonna get use to the bike coming down and saving it...... i suggest you whack that throttle harder..........just one good WHACK!! that and/or try sitting your butt towards the back portion of your seat..... that seems to help for some people but once you get it down it wont matter any more.
