learning wheelies on a 600 rr

[sickboy73jer]

i have a 05 cbr 600 rr i have to get the rpm's to around 10 grand before i pop the cluth and i'm not getting nowhere nere bp is it becouse i way 240 pounds or am i doing something else wrong? i can get it up about 2 or 3 feet and thats it

[f3joel]

what gear you trying in?

[sickboy73jer]

1 rst gear should i stand up cause sitting just feels better

[Shawskin]

what the, it should be coming up easy

[f3joel]

yeah, 1st at 10 grand you should have to hit the rear brake not to loop, is the back tire just spinnin like a mofo or what, try starting off in first get up to about 8,000 and let off the gas for a second then get back on the gas (no clutch) it should power up easy

[sickboy73jer]

no the tire aint spinning just talking to a friend he thinks i'm probably rolling off the gas when it comes up try again tomorrow see what happens. around what rpm's should i be popping the clutch at don't whant to loop it

[f3joel]

no the tire aint spinning just talking to a friend he thinks i'm probably rolling off the gas when it comes up try again tomorrow see what happens. around what rpm's should i be popping the clutch at don't whant to loop itforget the rpm's. just get going about 15-20 and slip the clutch ( don't fully engage it, just barely pull it in ) and give it alittle gas. if it's not enuff gas then try again and give it alittle more. don't rush it or you will probably wreck. keep your foot ready to push the rear brake if it comes up too quick. start off just riding out power wheelies and getting used to having the front tire in the air. don't worry about balance point untill you can ride a good power wheelie

[Shawskin]

well written, exactly what he said. go at your own pace and just get used to having the wheel come up.

[sickboy73jer]

thanks see what happens tomorrow

It's not a weight thing either. Get that out of your head. You're not heavy. I'm about 290lbs and I could pick up my buddy's F4i at 70 mph and ride it until I got bored. If anything, the added weight helps you because you can toss that little bike around like it's nothing!

+1 to just getting comfortable with the wheel in the air. You must have been letting off the gas when it was coming up. That fucker should JUMP!

Good luck. Take it slow. :yes: :yes:

[sickboy73jer]

getting better was letting off the gas i gues i was scared :scared: also getting it up at lower rpm's trying to get used to the back break when it comes up to high. thanks :goofy:

[rawchrome]

its not that your popping the clutch cause youll kill yourself doing that one finger on the clutch and what u wanna do is slip the clutch if your going down the road just take that one finger and pull in a little youll see then go slow in a lower gear and jerk it up doing that.

[sickboy73jer]

thats what i'm trying to do still pop it everynow and then it's a pain teaching myself don't know anybody that rides sports bikes so it's a slow process but every time getting a little better. starting to be able to ride the lower ones out still scared if it comes up to high and tap brake but getting better

it's part of learning.. i wouldn't be starting them at 10 grand first gear, ya just gunna hit the limiter real quick, try starting it lower in the rev range, say about 6000rpm and give it more clutch and throttle. start small and work up.
