yeah im a newb what of it.....just got a question....how the **** do i get the front end off the damn ground.....i tried power wheelies i get the rpms up to 5k drop off the gas then hit the gas and i get about a foot of the ground......now when u drop the clutch roll on the gas i get no where.....maybe im not doin something right.....can one of u guys help me out....give me some tips!

 

Its a 600............you need to get up to about 10,000 rpms before you get any power. Ride safe man.

 

not true rup..... about 7500.... run it up to 7500 and then back off of a sec and then peg it and give just a little tug.... should almost jump up at you..... just be very carefull...

 

so is that how u guys do the startin out slow wheelies??

 

first gear wheelies but not the slow ones

 

yeh um first gear wheelies ROCK.......especially on a zx-6r.....

 

yea what mike said... prolly not even 7500 more like 6500-7000... master regular wheelies then tackle the slow ones!! un less you have no care for your bike then just drop some air pressure and rev up to about 10g and drop the clutch!

 

so how do u do the slow wheelies???.......blingin u tryin to kill me my first time tryin??.......i like the stand up wheelies.....they look a lot more talented than the sit down......is that true?

 

Personally, I found the stand-ups a bit easier than sit down wheelies. You just have to realize that shifting your weight from foot to foot will make the bike 'steer'.

The biggest piece of advice that I got (from CBROrange) was to just relax, and let the bike do it's thing. Don't try to pull or push the thing up or down...it's a futile effort, and you just end up wearing yourself out. After that, it's just a matter of balance. Experience is the key...just go out and do it...then keep doing it.

Good luck...

BTW in my experience, Kawi's have good motors, but bad balance. Easy to get it up, but harder to keep it there.

 

@professor corners wheelie god

 

drop you back tire pressure to 25 pounds,

drive along in 2nd at 30-40mph, pull the clutch in, rev the motor to 4-5 grand, and pop the clutch while pulling up on the bars....

you have to time it right, and i would recommend getting in the habbit of pulling your clutch lever in with either one or two fingers only so you have the rest of your hand to hang onto the bike.

best bet is to ride with someone that is good and learn from them.


oh by the way this is for normal wheelies,

 

The trick to slow wheelies is putting about 60psi in your tire, turning your idle up to just under redline and dumpin' the clutch...... give it a try....lemme know how it works out..


p.s. take a video camera with you

 

zilla----my best advice to you is try to make our sunday ride...watch how we wheelie, then go and try it....you have to ride with people who can wheelie good before you can really start doing wheelies...it's a watch and learn thing...

 

yeah what cbr said it is alot easier when you can watch and learn....It took me a while cause I was all on my own at first.
P.S. wear a skid lid and jacket!!!!!!!!!!!1 be safe

Well phatty..... I can just about wheelie any sport bike.... maybe not as good as most of you, but I know how too..... I guess maybe I care to much about my bike to watch it go bounching down the road.... 2 1/2 years and 37,000 miles and the bike still looks good....hmmmmmmmm

 

ummmm duker....i dont think i'll try that one....u dont even know me yet and your already tryin to kill me .....although i did see u out at the triumph dealer crazy mother ****er ridin stand ups...lol....u rode up behind me at the median....turned around next to me and took off again...i was like thats gotta be duker...i ride with rob dye from team triumph...he told me it was u....anyway thanxs for the tips guys....i'll have to ride up to janesville and ride with u guys soon before the summer ends
