Default Another wheelie question

I have a 99 CBR 900 with a 15/47 sprocket combo, question: is it best to do a power wheelie or cluch, and most likely i'll want to be in second, not first.

Thanks

you'll just have to play with both and figure out what works better for you.

what fourxchevy said.

you'll get mixed opinions on here and we'll try to give you what worked and didn't work. Most importantly, get to know your bike VERY well first and take it slow.

Depends on what kind of riding you want to do.
If your looking for more of a street setup than stay in 2nd and work with it from there.
And judging from your question, your on a stock bike not set up for stunt so...I assume your only talking about streets.

Sorry, dude, but I had to remove those 3 links from your sig. Nothing personal, but it's against the rules to link to other forums and storefronts in your sig.

clutching will get the bike up easier, and leave you more rpm's to play with
