What is the easiest way to bring up a 96 ZX9R. The damn thing has so much front end weight. Should I clutch it at around 30 MPH and where should the RPM's be at? Any info would help.

the altitude in reno probably dosen't help either, don't worry about the speed its different for every bike. you want to drop the clutch in the rpms with the most torque usually around 3/4's of your rpms but start around 1/2, clutch it to 3/4 and dump it!
it's hard to tell someone how to wheelie you should find someone who can and have them do it on your bike then show you, just start off with a little throttle before you clutch it and keep adding an rpm till it comes up.
good luck, and be safe!

yea, every bike is different. It's really about technique when its stock.
Does the front wheel come up at all for you? Try going a lot slower, and clutching it in first. My buddy just shipped me his zx7r from cali, so I've been riding that for the passed couple weeks. The 7r is pretty hard to wheelie and isn't the best stunt bike because of the weight, and the longer wheel base.
But once you get used to little ones comin up, you can definitely get the feel and rock them normally. Just takes a little bit to get used to certain bikes. Keep up the practice.

Yeah, the front wheel comes up but its a pain because of the altitude here. This bike was jetted for Jacksonville, Fl. I'll try that and we'll see what happens. Thanks
