To begin with, I am in no way, shape, or form an amazing rider, let alone stunt rider, which is why im reaching out to those of you who are.

Now, I see a TON of videos of people on stock R6 gearing popping their bikes up at 7-8k rpm in first gear and getting the bike clutched up in 2nd. i cannot get the bike up in second gear for some reason and it feels really sluggish? i can hop it up in first at about 10k rpm or so doing a power wheelie. how do people pop it up at 25-30 with stock gearing and my bike feels like a fatass when i try? and i weigh roughly 165-170 lbs.

thanks :thumbup

Im hardly an expert but just practice second gear, clutch up wheelies...You'll get it... If I can do it on my Adventure/Touring Bike (Triumph Tiger) then Im sure the R6 has plenty of hp in stock form... Good Luck...:thumbup

Take the plastics off, take it slow, and if you are doing 2nd gear make sure you know where your brakes are. Once u pass bp there's not much engine brake to stop you from looping. I suggest practice from a stop in first gear so you can learn the basics before you loop your sh!t. Looping at 70 is going to hurt a lot more.

You're telling my you are paying for the bike, insurance, gas, gear, registration, track days, etc... etc...? And I thought I had a great job when I was your age...

you need to borrow a clapped out dirt bike and figure it all out on that. practicing covering the rear brake and using it during a wheelie is pretty critical to not ending up on your noggin.

i ride moto a lot, and i can pull a solid wheelie in 3rd without clutch on a 250r easily. the problem is pulling my heavier R6 up. i think im just scared of the power this bloody machine has.

The R6 more than makes up for its added weight with more traction and MUCH more power. The real difference is where the power is, and even more so, the riding position. Sitting upright on a dirt bike makes a huge difference in how easy it is to loft the front.
