how to wheelie a 06 GSXR 600?

Question

I've been riding for a year and want to learn how to do a wheelie with and without the clutch. I know some people are going to post why they think its dumb or whatever but you can stick it where the sun don't shine

Answer 1

1) Find a location away from the prying eyes of the po-po, check for gravel, grease, etc., and wear all your protective gear, including back protector.

There are 3 techniques for doing wheelies:
1) From a standstill, clutch in, throttle up, drop clutch in first gear and up you go.
2) In first gear, accelerate hard, back off the throttle, and give it maximum again.
3) In second gear, disengage the clutch while on the move, give it full throttle and dump the clutch.

If the wheelie goes too high, cover the rear brake. Usually, it's enough to just back off the throttle., but if you are off-balance while hanging on to the throttle, only the rear brake can save you. To avoid hanging on like this, bend your arms and lean forward.

I got the above from an article in Motorcyclist magazine by Tor Sagen, the tips themselves come from Craig Jones, 2002 European Stunt Champion.

One other thing you can do to help the front wheel up (if you are in a higher gear, or are heavy), shift your weight forward and 'bounce' the front end just as you're giving it hard throttle. Only do this if the front end won't come up on its own.

Also keep in mind that if the rear tire is cold, it will have a tendancy to slip rather than lift the front end.

Also also, a steering damper is a helpful aid. It can help prevent you from landing all crossed-up, and if by chance you do, it will minimize or prevent a tank-slapper.

Trade in your 600 for some more power. I prefer the suzuki gsxr750 over any bike out there. Yeah yeah, the 1000 is the most powerful but so what. It's a second faster at the race track. The 750 has great middle band power which is perfect for the streets, track or canyon. After I installed a full yosh system and power commander I could easily "power" wheelie with the throttle (rolling off and on real hard while coasting).

If you do wheelie make sure there are no cops around. Also, keep your foot on the REAR BRAKE. If the front pops up too high the first time you drop that clutch as someone else suggested it will keep you from flipping your bike backwards.

Simple , start small and away from publicity. Practice just cruising in 1st gear , then "slip/dump the clutch" meaning pull it in and release it whenever you want , but you have to release it quick , as in let go not slowly but fast , then "blip" the throttle,while the clutch is in, meaning twist and let go. It will come up , and just get comfortable with doing that .
Next , just involves giving it a little more throttle while the clutch is pulled in , and holding a certain rpm and the slip the clutch . Keep giving more until your ready to keep your hand twisted on the throttle so that your riding your wheelie . Then you can shift or speed shift while your in the wheelie , into second gear , but if your not high enough you'll come back down . Practice speed shifting first , before trying this . O yea and always cover your rear brake .

Answer 5

wow, what an attitude! Well here's some suggestion for you ( This works best on a lonely road going 40+miles/hour & make sure that you call your Insurance Company first before doing this): rev the bike near redline holding the clutch then pop the clutch & see what happens! :) I was a witness in an accident were a squid did this; loops the wheelie then got pulled under a 18 wheeler truck on the freeway. What you wanna do is sheer Stupidity! .Dude...do us all riders a favor ok!?...stick to driving a car and you'll SURELY Live. Leave the stunts to the professionals!.......(kids these days asks the darndest things) :)

Answer 6

Hmmm, redline the motor and dump the clutch...do that a few times and that's a good way to toast your clutch, bust the drive chain, pop a tooth off the tranny of have it get away from you and run it through the produce aisle of the local grocery store. And you don't need more power either. Hey, when I was young and stupid, I'd pop wheelies on my full dress, 720 pound shaft drive KZ1000 touring bike...Jammer fairing, bags, trunk, stereo, the works. You squids that need a sport bike with twice the horsepower and half the weight of my old KZ (still got it and ride it) to do a wheelie are just a bunch of pu**ies! That's why I just laugh when I see one of you guys showing off your wheelies. Put you on my old KZ and you'd look like those old ladies pushing their little two wheeled grocery carts across the street! Except those little old grandmas don't wear leathers like some of you! HA!

How To Ride A Wheelie

Answer 8

Practice power wheeling up the bike for a while first. To do this get moving in first gear at 8000 rpm and hold a steady throttle. Slide back in the seat as far as you can sit comfortably. Quickly let off the throttle and then get back on it. That should have popped a small wheelie. Do that for a while until you get used to the feel of the font wheel being up in the air and it landing. Next learn to clutch the front end up. Get yourself far back in the seat and moving at about 4000rpm in 2nd gear. Be sure to have your right foot over the rear break, this way if the front end comes up too high you can use the rear break to bring it back down. Pull the clutch in just enough to get the revs to jump up a bit and then let the clutch back out and your front wheel will be in the air, make sure to land the front wheel straight or the fun will end rather quickly.

Answer 9

you may want to find a road that has a sudden slight drop off hit the drop off and the gas at the right time and the bike will come up very easy giving you a chance to get use to felling and work on your throttle control with out the risk of going over backwards as easy then you can try it by chopping the throttle and then hammer it back on hard in a low gear at the start of your power a good rider is made in the corner not the straight line keep it smooth

Answer 10

Clucth up you have more control. What you want to do is work on 1st shift clutch ups. Ride the throttle to about 10K the "flick" the clutch. You'll feel the front come up a bit then let go of the throttle to come back down. Do this for awhile to get the feel.
When you are comfortable doing so; when your font is up pull back on the throttle more and more to "ride" the wheelie.

Don't Listen to the Guy above me,, Stunting is a Skill and You have to start somewhere.

I don't perfer Power Wheelies so I don't have much input on it. Be safe and Always Gear Up. Best Of Luck
