Re: 2ng gear sitdowns
I have finally learned how to get it up in second. I have a 01 R6 with a -1 in the back. I go to 6grand and clutch that bitch. She comes right up 95% of the time. You could sit back alittle that may help. :YEAH That 929rr shouldnt need much help hahahha

BTW, my buddy has an 01 929, he can get that thing up in 4th gear on the highway, and hes skinny as hell... size and weight have nothing to do with it... drop your psi in the rear a little bit... go about 40-45 just sit all the way back, keep all your weight back, pull in the clutch and wack the hell out of the throttle, but do it fast... cover the rear brake.... that was a really half assed post, but im too tired to get into detail.. ask me again tomorrow...

Re: 2ng gear sitdowns
im thinkin my weight has SOMETHING to do with it. i am 6'4" @ 270 lbs... ive been trying 2nd gear at about 50 (maybe a little faster) i pull in the clutch, rev it to the moon, and then drop it. the front end maybe comes up a few inches but thats about it. i can ride out frist gear power ups (need to get up higher, just watched a tape of myself.. what feels like 12o'clock is actually about 4 ) ill try goin slower.. just started practicing clutchin it up too, seems alot cooler doing that because u can bring the front up at the dtop of a dime. not like power wheelies where i have to make sure im at 4500 rpm.

I would start a little slower, maybe around 30-35'ish. Just get used to sitting all the way back, and learning where your body weight is compared to your wheel base and picking up wheelies.

That was the key for me...when I first started clutchin up second I found I was huggin the tank scared I was gonna loop it ....sittin back on the seat made all the difference

Re: 2ng gear sitdowns
yea, it gets a little scary once you switch your weight around. Makes all the difference in the world.Just gotta get used to it. Practice! and cover the rear brake. get that chizzled in your brain.

I haven't had much luck with powering my bike for crap. You should try clutching it, to me it feels like you have more control.

Re: 2ng gear sitdowns
Size and weight isn't that big of a factor. I am 6' 2" and weigh about 270 and I can rock it on sit downs and stand ups. All you need to do is get as far back on your seat as you can go, get up to about 50 and pop that clutch. As soon as it starts to come up, lean back a little. If she comes up too fast, tap the rear brake. If you are too freaked out to bouch it up, then try sitting on the passenger seat, put your left foot on the rear peg and pop that clutch at about 35 or so and as soon as it comes up just stand...and there is your first stand up. If you use the rear peg, it won't kill your arms as much as standing on the front pegs, and you can actually see where you are going. Practice, practice, practice and then practice some more.
