i started off with a ninja 500R which is 500cc's i figured out the gears and balance (somewaht atleast) in the first 30 mins .. but it doesn't always happen like that ... i just bought my 04 R6 band new bout 3 weeks ago...
anybody have suggestions on poppin wheelies? i tired didn't wrk ... i can't get the front wheel in the air .. help me out
I'm sure that you know, if you can't control your bike comfortably yet, wheelies might not be a good idea.
Anyways, check out the How To section on
www.stuntlife.com. They have a great article for "How do I wheelie, like I see in the videos". - j/k... not really :hammer
basically you have 2 main ways to get the front end up.
1. power wheelies
--- uses strictly engine power to bring up the front end.
--- in 1st you would get p to about 9-10K, let off the throttle until about 8K and give i a quick "blurp"
blurp: a quick twist of the throttle
--- use too much blurp and you will end up on your back, even more so since your in 1st.
~~~ another power wheelie inculdes bounching and blurping in 2nd gear
~~~ much hard IMO, and since your speed much higher then the 1st gear one, your crash will be much worse.
2. clutching it up
--- very dangerous
--- do not try this in 1st gear
--- In 2nd gear get up to about 7-9K pull the clutch in, rev up to about 10-11k and drop the clutch.
--- Oh yeah, HOLD ON.
That's the quick and dirty on wheelies.... Mind you that I stuck at them :hammer
Also only do them a little at a time until you get comfortable getting the wheel in the air; and take it slow.. No use looping the bike on your 1st attempt...
That brings up another thing, doing a lot of stunts.... get a POS stunt bike and beat it even more, leave the R6 for the ladies.
