My stock '06 600rr don't wheelie :,(

i've been struggling to wheelie my bike on 2nd but it's no use... i managed to wheelie it on 1st with slippin' clutch and i can do it confidently now (although it's dangerous!) but it doesn't sustain so it's getting boring. I've seen my friends wheelie same bike as mine but only while standing on the rear pegs, which isn't something I want to try now.
Any idea how to work it? I am putting on an K&N filter in couple'a days which I hope will help.
Thanks.

It will, you just need some practice. You really got to get on it too. I can get mine up in just about any gear, stock. From 5mph to 75mph it just takes work.

A K&N isn't going to help. Practice on the other hand will. Technique my friend, technique.

get a Ninja, I heard they wheelie quite well.

If your clutch is slipping that would explain it. If you were trying to say you clutch it to get it up in first. Then you should just say that.

yeah was a joke. I guess may not be. If I got a Ninja I guess I wouldnt love it so much and of course I would wheelie it.

Practice...................

It will come up, you just have to rev more and keep reving as you dump the clutch.

i think the thread title should be changed to

600RR Owner won't wheelie in 2nd...muhhhahah...more gas...more revs, stay on gas...

you sound like me, change your sprocket, makes it more easy

aha... so it's all in the sprocket!!

I found AFAM sprockets here (goto street/drive/honda/cbr600 '05).
Front sprockets range from 14-16-Tooth, and rear from 40-48-Tooth. Would I need to change both front and rear? and would I need more or less teeth?!
Thanks!

I'm sure if you would go one tooth less in front and 2 more teeth in the rear, that would do the trick. You'd also need a new chain with the right number of links.

OEM is 16/42, so I'll be getting 15/46 (couldn't find 44)
:)
Thanks!!!

you understand that your gunna lose alot of top end doing a sprockte change and you will have to buy a speedohealer to fix you mph right?

yes, i am not too keen on speeding high as opposed to wheelieing.
as for the speedohealer, i won't need it soon as I don't often care what speed i am going.
Thanks to all, problem solved!!!

oh i found this neat conversion kit: http://www.solomotoparts.com/product.php?productid=22976&cat=430&page=1

it's not all in the sprockets, it's all in the rider, sprockets just make it easier... to come up...so as many other have said...stop being such a wu$$ and give it more gas and more revs...and clutch that sucker up...and stop blaming the bike!!

post this in the stunna section and you'll get the same advice...cause saying a new 600 won't come up with the clutch is like sitting in front of the tv with a remote control, beer and grub and the best show ever on and saying...i can't move...

ok i just went out and gave it another try... now i believe that it does come up, after i gave it to one friend of mine who's good at it and he eventually brought it up... but there seems so much struggle and burn-out to bring it up which means it still won't come up everytime i'd try. anyways .. i am still getting those sprockets!

took me about 3 solid weeks of practicing and me wreaking my bike until i could ride out 2nd gear consistantly

you should keep practicing in 1st until you learn to use the back brake before you try 2nd... cuz your RR should come up like nuthing in 2nd if your givin it enough gas

Now ya know when you "clutch it" it's NOT a rev and dump... Juice it around 8-10k and as you're quickly slip'n out the clutch roll the throttle. It's gonna be a throttle bounce between 1/3+ depending on your body weight and seat placement. For 2nd gear I'll bring in the clutch just under disengaged maybe even slightly grabbing rev it around 7-8k and as I'm revving I'll time the step out of the clutch with feeding my throttle and by the time the clutch load hits it's around 8-10k and bam 10 o'clock.
Just remember to stay loose and keep that right foot ready..... I'd say the biggest deal with stunting is not to over think it you know the 1, 2, 3's to getting it up. Just get it out there and bang it out without going over the steps in your head, ok if I, and when it, then I'll... That'll throw you off rhythm every time. Best of luck to ya, watch out for popo.

changing the sprocket is the easy/pu$$y way out. honda's are know for not being able to keep the front wheel on the grond with hard throttle. stay on the throttle hard and keep practicing. and lean back a little, don't be leanin down like your riding.

if you can't wheelie it, you aren't trying hard enough.

learn how to shift with the front wheel in the air. i reccomend a dirtbike for practice.

if you're not used to doing a wheelie, be careful, don't loop your new bike over...

EXCELENT POST WILD ON- WELL WRITTEN AND VALUABLE INFO. LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL!!!
