i'm having a problem with the rear wheel spinning when i use the clutch to wheelie. the first time i tried this, the front wheel did lift about 6 inches or so, but every time since then the rear tire just spins and i get no lift at all. i'm running about 30 psi in the rear tire, should i go lower? and will lower tire pressure have any negative effects on tire wear? i use my bike for daily commuting, so i put a lot of highway miles on it.

you could be bringing the RPM's too high, dropping the clutch at higher RPM will break the rear tire loose, try dropping the clutch earlier... 5-8,000rpm.

Yeah man the problem is.... You have a 87 600f with only like 76hp and it weighs like 430lbs. I am in no way ripping on your bike, I learned to ride on a 89 600f, It will not wheelie in 2nd gear you have to do it in first! Then if you want to do anything else your going to have to get a different bike or gear your current bike if they even have sprockets for it anymore. But you can practice in first until you get a new bike... later

Okay... I have pretty much read this entire tread and I got one problem... The guys that say they are big guys... aren't that big. I'm a big guy. 6'2" and about 265lbs. And I don't have that much fat on me. If I work out a lot I can quickly get to 300lbs, but I try to stay under 270lbs. Now my F4i is my first bike ever. Do you think my big **voice over** "butt" **end voice over** will come up?

yes, it will come up.

a lot of squids stand over the gas tank, which henders the bikes ability to lift the front. try to stand over the rear tire and then clutch it.

change the frt sprocket there only like 15bucks...

One tooth on the frt is like three out back

Take a 15tooth off the front and put a 14 on will change your ?43? to a 46 basically in the rear

I just bought a used 93 CBR 900. It is set up for track racing unfortunely. My question is can I do some minor changes to turn it into a ocasional stunt bike without dumping tons of money or do I just keep this and by another bike? Last bike was a cbr 600 and could do anything with that bike. Was thinking of a 2003 CBR 1000. Anyway, bike is lowered 4 inches. I raised it to see if I can wheelie but no luck. Engine and carbs are modified for racing. First gear you have to wind out to 8K for the front to pick up. Do not even try second because it just hooks up, it wont pick up. I tried slipping the clutch but it just hooks up. Looked at changing sprockets. Anyone have any suggestions? Thank you in advance....

Lowered bikes will be a little harder to get up due to the lower center of gravity but it's still possible. I have a couple of short buddies that lowered their stunt bikes for obvious reasons and rip wheelies everywhere. It seems to be easier for short people since the body position is pretty straight. For us tall folks it alil different. But then again you should see my 6'2" 190 ASS doing wheelies on my 50 lol.

******Wheelies are slowed down by riding the wheelie behind the balance point. This is one of the hardest parts of learning to wheelie, not because of skill, but because of the balls required.******

True say! Last season was my first one after years..Plus, the bike was brand new and I didn't want to see it go down..Although I did once but wasn't all that bad..Then my engine gave up on me (thanks to the warranty, covered everything). Hopefully this season I will grow a bigger set of balls and try stuff out. Just want to ride a wheelie at a constant 40 mph.
