Default Second gear wheelie video after a hour.

After 4 days, devoting 15-20 minutes to attempting 2nd gear sit downs, here is what I done tonight. Thanks to everyone who gave me pointers! I LOVE IT! No where near perfect, but at least I know now it WILL come up! The first four wheelies was a first gearer, sorry.

Lookin good man, but some more pointers---From the sound of it you are kind of letting off pulling in the clutch and then reving it and letting out the clutch, but in one motion. Instead of doing it like you are, try just going about 5500rpms (or where you are normally clutching it) and slip the clutch, just turn the throttle a little while you have the clutch in and see how that works. Its alot smoother like that for me

Keep it up

Yeah, it is all stock. Exhaust and all. I did not think mine would either, but after I figured out what I was doing wrong, it is very easy. I was letting off the throttle as I let of the clutch, instead of after it engages, throttle even harder.

I think I do that same thing, letting off the throttle, because I'm too afraid to do a backflip on my bike. I do KNOW that it can wheelie though because I've done one before trying to show off and it was scary since I had no idea it was going to happen! haha I wish I could rid myself of the fear of trashing my brand new 06 and just keep attempting til I get it but $8500 is a lot of money.

I want to learn how to do wheelies soooo bad they look so fun and when I did mine afterwards I was like DAMN THAT WAS AWESOME! =(

Read up on your bike and you'll know why it's more difficult...the RR is designed to be planted on the ground...
