RE: 600RR 2nd gear
CLUTCH IT...powering up wheelies is dangerous and it just looks stupid. Stand staggered with your left foot on the passenger peg and your right foot covering the brake. Just start out clutching it a little to get the feel for it and then just keep clutching it harder and harded until you can clutch it straight to balance point. I have clutched up a stock 03 600rr in 3rd on the highway at 70 and in 2nd at 30 so it will come up no problem..Clutching seems scary at first but it is so much easier and way more predictable once you get the hang of it.

I have no clue I never look at the gauges you just get a feel for it after awhile and its just like shifting, you just know when...Just clutch it alittle and if it doesn't come up alittle more and just keep at it man and you will get it in no time..Just take it slow and cover the brake

if you're uncomfortable do it normal just to get used to it coming up when u clutch it. It's easier to hit the balence point and control in a staggered position simply because your weight is distributed to the rear tire more which enables you to keep the bike at a lower angle to reach the bp. I got used to it coming up witha normal stance then once you figure out the feel for clutching it, attempt the staggered and get down ur bp.

It feels really wierd at first but it is 100 times easier. When your staggered it takes the weight off your arms and its easier to cover the brake plus well for me atleast clutchin it while standing on the front pegs just doesn't feel right. I hated staggered at first cause I felt all off balance but I just went and practiced for a couple hours and then it felt so much better..

I have never had a peg fold or seen it happen to anyone and I have been doing standups staggered for like 3yrs..I did see a guy on a new GSXR 1000 going about 80 on the highway standing on the front pegs and the left peg broke off and he crashed really bad. It was crazy cause the bike was perfect and had never been dropped and he wasn't a big guy just average size..But we all ride honda's so its ok they are not junk.
