Re: clutch wheelie = burnout
you can clutch wheelies up in cold cold cold weather just depends on the tire,how much you've warmed it up and how good of a rider you are to bring the bike up...i was clutching wheelies in the rain on my zx7r in first gear...if it can be done on wet roads it can be done on cold ones..

lol, he aimed me "what the *** is your problem"
if you warmed up your tires enough, then I'll belive you can clutch it up just fine, but you didn't say that, it can be 60 degrees outside, and you still need to warm up your tire enough to grab.

I didnt think Texans knew about cold tires?
Work on your bouncing technique. Shift your weight back, as well as up.
Let the clutch out slightly slower too.

Re: clutch wheelie = burnout
I have an 01 katana 600 in desperate need of a new rear tire, it has 9k on it and has literally NO tread in the center and I clutched up a few this morning when it was 27 out. It's definitely possible.
It works a ton easier doing stand ups instead of sit downs. More weight is on the back tire giving it more traction, making it harder for it to spin.
It only takes a little bit to warm it up, just a few laps around the parking lot or ride for a mile or so.
You're clutching it so you may be just giving too many revs before you drop the clutch, try not clutching up to balance point right away, instead clutch it up maybe half, 3/4 of the way and then use the engine to bring it the rest of the way up. That way you're not putting as much power to the ground and it will be easier for the tire not to spin.

I second that post, USE LESS THROTTLE. When you dump the clutch, then roll on the gas so the initial power from dumping the clutch will not spin the tire it will lerch the bike when the tire grips and roll on the throttle to bring it to the sky.

Re: clutch wheelie = burnout
Do you rev before you clutch? One of my buddies was doing the same thing for a while. His problem was toomuch gas before the wheelie even started.
It happens to me occasionally too, but if you start with less gas and then add (alot) more gas just a split second after you satrt to engage the clutch, you will have less trouble with spinning the rear tire as you would if you rev high and then dump it.

Re: clutch wheelie = burnout
i practiced again today and i started picking it up better with the clutch but when it picks up high i got kinda scared(i know im a bitch haha) and then i decided to try power wheelies and they definatly come up wat faster than i thought the did and pretty damn high too

Re: clutch wheelie = burnout
i still dont know how people do powerwheelies i just dont like em ... thats all my friend does on his r6 .. probably cause bike weighs like 2lbs ...
keep workin on clutching them up .. if u want if we ride this weekend we will probably film and u can watch it and notice how high u are getting compared to how high u think you are ... dax did this for me and it helped alot cause i could of swore i was soo high , but i really wasnt
keep that brake covered just incase i sent you a pm

what everybody said is right about the tire. Warming it up, etc.. but jesus lets repeat ourselved over and over and talk about warming up your tire for 5 years...
along with what MikeM said. Let out your clutch slower. You shouldn't completely let go and hang on for the ride. Learn where your clutch grab point is, and do it a little slower.
you'll be fine, just takes practice.. This is why clutching is so much more controlled. I still see people dumping that clutch all the time. 1 finger will do the job.

Re: clutch wheelie = burnout
i think your timing is a little off when you are slipping the clutch
when i first started clutching it up my tire would spin too, so i learned to clutch it up in second and worked my way down to first. dont really spin the tire anymore becuase i know how to clutch it up with some teqnique now instead of just hammering the throttle and letting the clutch out
