    Re: working on the wheelies

    I'm still trying to figure out how to get my 600 off the ground lol, I've been trying to get the whole clutch work in but doesn't seem to be effective. I must be doing something wrong but I dk what it is.... kinda frustrating cause I love wheelies. My friend on his 04' YZF600R did wheelies without the clutch or revving it, it was awesome.

    Re: working on the wheelies

    Where do you guys practice wheelies? I can't find a place that's pretty well hidden and away from Police, wouldn't want to get in trouble stupidly

    Re: working on the wheelies

    well we are in the springs. so the places i practice are a bit out of your county. lol.
    dude i wish i had a new bike. again i was on a 95 ninja 636 and i clutched it, whooomp, up it went. i was just a grinin. lol.
    rode my friends 05 r6, and i fought the front end from coming up..
    rode a busa, i never ever thought of trying to bring the front up bc i just painted the thing, and its not my bike to do wheelies on.
    i have been doing some pop ups on my kat, fun stuff. when i can get the rear tire to hookup.
    keep practicing, dont take ya foot off the rear brake peg. its your safety blanket..
    id put a pic of my tries up but no ones ever around to get a pic of me trying . lol

    Re: working on the wheelies

    Re: working on the wheelies

    well yea I obviously won't push beyond my abilities cause I know it's serious business, once I get the first step down I'm sure I'll get the rest pretty easily. The tire only comes up like a few inches off the ground when I try it, which is better than nothing but well getting there.

    ive been practicing all summer and just did my first real good one today. i started off like you just bringing it a couple inches off the ground, then for the longest time it was like 2-3 feet up but today i got one about 4 feet up and i scared me a little, but after i was like "hell yeah" BTW I have the same bike as you

    Re: working on the wheelies

    You could do it with enough clutch and lean back a lot but not to much.

    Re: working on the wheelies

    I have been practicing for a while myself I have no problem getting the front wheel off the ground....the problem I am still having is I cant keep a steddy wheelie going. When I get my rear tire replaced and if the weather stays like it is for a couple more weeks I will be back at it. A good place to practice is over at the old Lowry Air Base, the security doesnt give a shit.
