Stand-up in 2nd: I prefer to do mine without clutching it, so i start the wheelie at about 71mph. (around 8k-9k rpms) Get a good balanced stance on the pegs, push down hard to compress the forks, and on the way up crack the throttle hard as you pull upwards on the front. Lock your knees and your arms fully extended---you will feel like you are hangin off of the bike (this is to keep the bike balanced, and not control the wheelie with the throttle.) BE CAREFUL! NOTE: This is on my stock-geared 600RR. Speeds and RPM's will be different if your bike is geared differently. -Adam _____________________________ Voodoochyls Wisdom: "I would like to give you a "Dances with Wolves" Indian name...I dub thee "Snipes with a Fist".

Do you hit a certain rpm range. Never did it before. Is it better to do a power wheelie or clutch it up? _____________________________ 04 CBR 600RR YOSHIMURA RS5 STAINLESS POWERCOMMANDER W/ACC PUMP K&N FILTER -1 COUNTER SPROKET SPEEDOHEALER PUIG RACE SCREEN (in reply to isolated1523) Post #: 4

(i would do it late night at a shopping center).. but you dont dump the clutch, but you engage it pretty fast.. once you get it down, i know it's second nature but i never gotten it down yet =/.. but ill tell you, 04's are alot easier to wheelie then my 95 (dry weight is lighter for a 04, plus more HP).. give me like 20 minutes, and ill find the website on "how to wheelie".. teaches you all of them.. please wait.... .... .... (20 minutes later.. ok maybe it was 5 minutes but still) http://www.duncalf.com/dan/wheelie.html < Message edited by Vermino -- 2/5/2006 12:47:16 PM > (in reply to 04CBR600RR) Post #: 5

It's going to depend on your weight a little bit. I weigh like 210 so with my 600 I have to take it up to around 38 mph, in first, roll off the throttle and INSTANTLY back on again. Only, WIDE open when I come back on with it. keep your body leaned back and try to stay sitting up. Your INSTANT reaction the first couple of times will be to lean forward the SECOND that thing comes up JUST A LITTLE BIT! DON'T DO IT!!! just stay sitting up and you'll have her reachin for the sky in NO TIME!!!!!! If you weigh less than me, which is VERY likely. (seems like most guys on 600's are like a buck 60!), you'll want to try it just a LITTLE slower than that. maybe 5 less. I'd say start the method at 30 and go UP from there! good luck!!!!

My riding buddy can clutch his sittin down at 45 in 2nd and it'll shoot straight up...try that on my 03RR, and it don't do shit. Standing wheelies are much easier to control, provided that you push yourself away from the bike! This is one of the hardest things to do, because your first instinct when the wheel comes up is to lean forward. It will come up. I can bounce my stock 03RR in Third without clutching it, provided the RPM's are in the 8-9k range...problem is, that's about 100MPH :-) -Adam _____________________________ Voodoochyls Wisdom: "I would like to give you a "Dances with Wolves" Indian name...I dub thee "Snipes with a Fist".

RE: can you wheelie your 600rr?? - 2/5/2006 7:09:56 PM    Vermino Posts: 1201 Joined: 1/28/2006 Status: offline i guess you could mod your bike alittle more to get the accerelation faster. But the best thing to do is practice slow, let your instincts work when your popping wheelies at first.. so when you pop it up, just drop it back down (get more familiar with popping them and how to) then get used to riding them.. if you dont already, have a steering damper just in case and just take baby steps.. my problem was i got to frustiated from not getting the wheel up so high, i just gave up (i would try once in awhile).. but it's faitgueing after while trying to pop the forks, or working the clutch.. I believe my future 04+ 600RR will be easier to pop a wheelie, but i'm going to do a couple of mods first - then get used to the bike itself before i even think about anymore tricks.. So if your just beginning with your biking experience, give it some time... and i wish i could find a tutorial "popping a wheelie" video, but only can find text.. (im more of a visual person when learning) probbly why it's taking me more time to learn.. try to remember what you have to do, then go all the way out to the shopping center and then do it.. but good luck, make sure you got frame sliders too (before you do this.. fairing is costly).. just a reminder =) (in reply to isolated1523) Post #: 11

I weigh 140 lbs. and I can bring up my stock 05' 600RR sittin down in 1st and 2nd and I can do stand-ups in 3rd and 4th. That is with no clutch. Just timing the throttle and the front end. when I do sit down wheelies it is more about timing the throttle. when I do stand up wheelies it is about timing the throttle and compressing the front end. I bring first gear sit downs up at about 15 mph. 2nd gear is about 45. 3rd gear stand-ups at about 75 mph. 4th gear stand ups up at 90 mph its not like you'll get it right away. It takes a ton of practice. just be careful and try to practice in a place that is leagal. _____________________________ Joe c (in reply to Vermino) Post #: 12

But after my crash i will try and perfect it on my quad and dirtbike before hitting it on the streets. $$$ very costly when you eat shit on the pavement for you and your bike. Learned that one hte hard way. (in reply to drag the knee) Post #: 15
