they dont have a slipper clutch in 08 unless im missing something
2008 r6 does have a slipper clutch, as far as the wheelie question, umm idk
08 does have a slipper but that only comes into play when downshifting.

Maybe your not ready for a sportbike.
It only works well down shifting so the back tire doesnt lock up. Why are you stunting an 08??? I have an 06 and the front ends are xtremely hard to get up.
I don't mean to be a hater But if you don't know that a slipper clutch is for down shifting and you can't get a wheelie up on a new bike you need to get a different bike to learn on and do alot of reading so you know what the hell your talking about. Go get some motorcycle mag's or go to sportrider.com
a slipper clutch locks on acceleration and slips on deceleration. if it slipped on acceleration the bike wouldnt move. its the exact same as a regular clutch until u decel entering a corner.

dont the 06-07 R6 have slippers as well?

Its not hard at all to get up just dont be soft with it lol
Why the hell would someone get a R6 to do stunts on in teh first place...why u all do stunts anyway? So stupid and your chances of efing yourself up is just off the hook, not to mention dropping an 9 thousand dollar bike!! hahahah lol

Don't be afraid of the throttle buddy, Dump the clutch on a 12k+ launch. She lifts up like an old man on Viagra....AND this is on my stock bike

I have an '08, krifor03 is right, youre gunna have to dump the clutch at about 12k to get it to come up, at least thats in 2nd gear...maybe a little less in 1st! be safe!

I'll tell you how.

Step 1: Return your bike to the dealer.

Step 2: Seriously consider killing yourself.

This is just some of you, but seriously, learn how to spell. It's not hard, doesnt firefox have spell checker too?

Now back to my 600mg dose of aspirin to get rid of this headache from reading this thread.:throwup
clutching works very easy in second, just gun it and pop the clutch and it comes up. im not very experienced my self so hopefully that give you a little more confidence. i never look at the tack i justt go by ear so i cant help you there... also try powerong it in 1st its different and more interesting i think. clutching is to easy.
