Yeah right bro. That RR won''t come up in 3rd with that gearing. My f4i takes alot of work to pop up in 3rd gear and it''s way more wheelie prone than your RR. The RR''s don''t wheelie that easily, they''ve got better balance.

LMAO, i strongly aree with you on that comment. All because i know i can kill a stock geared 03 600RR in 3rd gear on the interstate all day and all night. So i know that with -1 down, it''ll be a little easier to get it up because of the mid-range it has.......That speedy stuff is nuts easy. Slowing it down in the lot is where the hard chit is at......=-)

yeah a 600RR can stock wheelie up to 5th gear. (I dont remember seeing anyone doing 6th gear on a 600).
rsracer, i think your information is alittle off man but it happens.

(-1 to the front is like adding +3 to the back, which makes it more effective of wheelieing) plus hearing from my friends, the 600RR has a sick midrange powerband.

That RR won''''t come up in 3rd with that gearing.

I have personally done 4th gear, stock gearing, on a 05 600 RR. So i guess i would have to say you are wrong.

Haha, most of you boys are all talk. I know you didn''t get a stock rr up in 4th. Unless you hit a little downhill bump and dumped the clutch. I''m not saying the RR doesn''t have plenty of power for it, i''m saying it doesn''t wheelie as easy as most thing. 3rd gear is real tough on an RR. You gotta be at about 6k which in 3rd and it just doesn''t snap up that easily.

I did not say it was easy, and i did not say it just popped right up. It required hard acceleration, a big bounce, and a lot of clutch. I have posted my fair share of vids here before of what i can and cant do, so i guess your just going to have to take my word for it. However if i get a chance in the near future i will gladly video tape it for you.

Even if u did that for him.....I still think the guy would argue with a stop sign...=-)

Like some have stated before...IF it has a clutch, theres NOTHING u cant wheelie...=-)

I''ve got a 72 tooth on my F4i......Does that mean that i cant wheelie?..=-)

If you dont have pics, video, and a signed document from your mother (it has to be notarized), then i would say no you cant wheelie

^^ LMAO, yeah i cant argue with the guy, since it appears he must be right. I mean who in their right state of mine would think a 350lb sport bike could wheelie, even if it had 100+HP...=-)

I''''m not gonna lie though, my 954RR is a puzz compared to the F4i

The 954 doesnt have near enough power to do wheelies, haha....=-)

PS: HE might not be able to wheelie a 600RR in 3rd, but that doesnt mean WE cant.....

Some people just suck at riding....=-)
