power wheelies while hurt your ***,I recomend not doing them.If you must know thou, what I did on my first bike was roll on the throttle in first to about 6 grand, back off a little then slightley push down then pull up (preload the suspension) as I opened the throttle back.Dude it is so easy to loop like this DON'T DO IT!!!! just throttle up about 5 or 6 grand slip the clutch and preload the suspension at about the same time and it will come up.keep on the throttle until the front end feels like it is floating this is called balance point.You probley arent going to hit it for awhile its scary as hell the first few times.also keep your foot accessable to the rear brake.If you r going to high hit the rear brake to bring you down.but you have to remember to pull the clutch in before you hit the ground if not you will go over the handle bars...that sux,most of the time the bike runs over your ***. you don't need to worry about the 12 bar right now but it is for scrapeing the tail and not tearing your tail section up, that is for stunt vets only thou. check out stuntlife.com but be carefull its addictive. this post is just a guidline I'm no teacher this is just to help u out a little, please be carefull,always ride with someone else,wear the damn helmet too. oh my god I sound likemy old man

 

hahahaha neil! whats the deal man im fixin to get my fork seals done, seeing how i have brake control now i can stop wrecking! do u have a bike yet to stunt

 

Try viagra!!!

Try clutching it up about 100 times in a row, going a little higher and a little more every time you get comfy, the pros clutch it up 300 times a day to stay with it....

 

how quickly will this wear out a clutch? im on an 04 1000RR and i have no problem powering it up in 1st and clutching it up in second. second is much cmoother but at highway speeds 70-90mph. a bit fast i would like to know how to ballance in first a little better. and any tips on getting fomfortable with stand ups' i only do sit downs. and how do you steer a wheelie? lots of q's.

 

Clutch everything

Your clutch will be fine


Practice, practice, practice to answer all the rest of your ?'s

 

cool, i dont get as much time to ride for plesure here lately, buying a house and working 60-80 hours a week.

 

Nothing will get you more comfortable or better than finding a killer practice spot where you are not driving anyone nuts with clutch up sounds and practice. Don't worry about your clutch, it will last it is a honda, and if it breaks you can just upgrade to a heavy duty, should be a heavy duty as is. Definately slow it down, get used to clutching it up in first more and before you know it you will be doing stand ups without any effort naturally.

 

+1 on findin a spot. It took me a while to get it down just tryin to occaisionally do them on streets. I found a spot where I could practice for a solid couple hours on Sundays. After just two or 3 sundays I got this **** down now. Can pop em and ride them in 3rd gear now. It took me a real long time to find a spot but trust me that should be priority one. Priority 2-practice there as often as you can.

 

Fill your front tire with helium... That's what I do.

 

Please answer someone, can't lift the damn thing up even at 1st gear(f4i).

WhenIpull the clutch, should I disengage it completely or just to keep it semi-engaged? After that when I rev it up and ready to release the clutch, should I continue accelerating during releasing it or keepthe gassteady? At which point it should come up -after I released the clutch completely or in process of releasing it? How to release the clutch - fast or slowly (slower than during regular gear switching?)?

I have read all damn tutorials and watched all damn wheelie movies on the internet - it didn't help [&:] All tutorials say forbegining justpull the clutch, rev it up, and release the clutch and it should "easily" come up. Not in my case - it just jerks.
