Alright guys so i have had my 2001 r6 for about 2 months now, and i was interested in trying wheelies. A good friend of mine is one of the best riders i know, he can ride a wheelie for miles. He has been giving me pointers here and there but mainly he tells me "don't be scared, and just feel it." Obviously this isn't the best advice for a new rider that wants to learn wheelies. I have been watching a ton of tutorial videos. Downshift83 mainly helped me with my wheelies his vids are great. I can get the wheel off the ground no problem now comes the riding it part.
I will try to post some pics/vids of my wheelie progress and any thing i find tht helps me. Any positive feedback is more than welcome thanks guys.
O also i geared my bike so this helps. And for anyone else that has an older r6 i slip the clutch at about 6k rpms. I was reading some of the threads for newer bikes and guys are saying they slip it at like 10k. Glad i have an older r6.
Also i hear the BP on r6s are really high. Is this true? Can anyone by chance post a pic of their r6 at balance point...
Thanks guys
