My R6 wont wheelie

[oaklandish]

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.

I need to see this! I've been stunting ninja 2fiddys with upgraded intake and exhaust for almost 4 years and can't imagine getting a "solid" power wheelie in 3rd

Pretty sure he is referring to a dirt bike 250r, would still enjoy seeing a "solid" 3rd gear wheelie.

referring to an 08 crf 250r honda dirtbike. will post up a pic in a sec of me a few months ago in front of a friends house.

here you go, this was in 2nd power wheelie sitting. for 3rd i just stand, get mid rpm range and bounce the forks with throttle as it rebounds up.

 

[stnotti]

look at how bent your arms are. Im sure you did not start your wheelie with your arms that bent which means you are leaning forward. for sitting wheelies keeps your arms extended and go back with the bike. If you bend your arms you are killing your poor little wheelies.

Stock R6 no cage or gears or anything...just ghetto 12 bar 10 years ago...stock gearing. Just ring a bikes neck and you can get it up.

Yeah years ago when I had a 929 and used to do high speed freeway wheelies, one guy said my r6 won't do that .
We switched bikes and standing I brought his r6 up at around 75 in 3rd on the freeway no problem.

I do not do this much anymore.

Ya the good old days of street stunting!

 

[bruddakhan]

i see. so the bike can come up, its just me. any advice on how to get her up in second? i dont feel too hot coming up in first.

You're missing one important thing...the revs are there but the throttle turn is not. When you go to clutch it up in second, give the throttle a good twist and get that clutch out fast....you need both revs and throttle in order to go from the little bump to the actual wheelie.

i see, so should i let that clutch out as the rpms are climbing around 8-12k or should i let it out as the revs reach about 15-18k?

Max torque is closer to 10-12Krpm so that'd be the best time.

got it, roll at about 6k in 2nd and roll up to 12k and pop?

Not sure man, I don't do clutch wheelies. I worry about real riding techniques :ride.

If you want to pop wheelies buy a standard bike with gobs of torque, you have an R6, so go use it for what it was designed for.

touche, just going for this type of wheelie. but again its not my main priority.

Maybe use a bump in road? Hwy 9 and the intersection of pescadero and alpine both have great spots for clutch less power wheelies. The pesky one is pretty isolated and if you keep the noise down you can do a few trials on a slow weekday.

i remember you showed me a spot like that on our ride up pescadero, sketchy:ride

 

[jraice]

Much less sketchy than clutch ups, and slower too.
