Plse move it to the stunt section

 

but before it gets moved

i take it up to about 8g hold it then punch it ...it come right up and its dead stock

 

the same way i do for 3rd

yours is not so stock...

When you say punch it are you giving it full throttle. As in no more throttle to give? Does it come up smoothly.

I can do nice wheelie in first gear and now i want to do some in second gear but cant seem to figure out what rpm i should be in.

I am suppose to go -1 gear in the front so that should help but just want to know how other riders do it.


Thanks !!

Clutch it, at about 4g, hit the clutch and gas to about 8,9.10 g, and "pop goes the front end"... you'll feel it...

 

i go about 15 hit the clutch... or i could be goin 30-45 and hit the clutch.. or i could be in third goin 45 and hit the clutch... just take your time. you will get it, just like anything in life, a little practice and soon you to will be answering the questions not asking them

 

Thanks boys !
I just wanted to know if i could lift the front end in second gear without clutching it !!

And RR do you like your 15/45 setup

And could you post some pics of your bike it looks like its awsome !!!

 

i wheelie in 2nd gear with stock gearing all the time without clutching it. anywhere between 55-70mph seems to be a sweet spot. just let off the throttle real quick, let the front suspension dive down, and hit into the throttle again. just don't want to hit it too hard or you might end up on your back. just give it a little more each time until ya finally get it.

 

floor it!

15/45 is great for wheelies..but i really dont fool around anymore so all the shifting is starting to get to me. i may go back to 16.

 

I can't clutch to save my life...I just dont get it. I just power up my 954...

good question... Anybody???

 

Even first gear comes up smoothly without clutching it. Just feel for it, use a little more throttle each time.

I can ride out first gear pretty well now, but am trying not to wheelie anymore (excepting hard throttle power acceleration). I am using the Buell now for abuse, so I won't have to worry about screwing up my good bike.

Falling off the pegs when going past the balance point doing a stand up kind of sucks. Lucky I fell onto the tank, instead of off the bike. I think I need more practice

 

for second gear, u always use the clutch. I could bo a roll-on or bounce it, but the clutch really is the more predictable way of getting the front end off the ground.

Go somewhere between 25-40..... pull the clutch in.... blip the throttle to say 4k, and right as the rpm peak and barely start to some down, Give it a rev from to 8-9k and as you are reving, pop the clutch out(i say to blip and then rev, so eventually you can just listen and feel the revs this way, rather than looking at the tach)... and seriously POP it out, not just a realease.

It will come right up and just keep your hand rather still and then once you are up and free flying, it's all about throttle control from then on... try and roll on the throttle back and forth slightly in the powerband and keep the bike up at the balance point(this is where all the practie is). You will know you are at that point when the bike feels really light. It will scare you at first, but when you know you are there, you are there.

always let off the throttle SLOOOOW when you are comming down. You dont want to damage those forks and seals. Be safe and wear your protection.

 

I clutch 2nd around 5000+ and power em up around 8000. When powering up, I use a LOT more throttle than when powering up in 1st gear. The thing about 2nd gear is everything is much slower and forgiving than 1st gear so you don't have to worry about the bike reacting violently and fast when you grab a handfull of throttle. Also don't forget to sit back in the seat and rock when you hit the throttle.

 

i too have brought it up in 2nd with out clutch and i am running stock gearing. its all about being in the right rpm's

 

No clutch required. Helps to have a full tank and your body upright to have a high center of gravity. Having the rear spring preload squatting the back down helps lever the bike over the rear tire. If the rear shocks are adjusted for minimal damping, the rear will help bounce and spring the front end up into the air.

There is enough torque to do 2nd gear power wheelies easily. The sweet spot is around 5-7K, which the flapper happens to shut in that power band. It helps to pull the wires to the flapper solenoid (that flapper mod everyone talks about.)

Since there is just enough power from stock gearing to lift the front in second, you may notice some things will help. You might notice cold gusts of air reaching the intake will make the front end launch higher than the last time. Having a rear tire that is dry and hard from heat cycling may slip a few revolutions and suddenly grab, catapulting the front into the air. Higher air pressure in the rear helps with this. Anything to increase instability will help cause the usually undesired effect of the wheels leaving the ground, which you appear to want.

 

im hearing some "not so kosher" advice, but im not gonna say any names...

whatever you do...baby steps are the key.

 

i don't know, putting the flush mounts on shaved off enough weight for easier wheelies.

pulling the wires is NOT the flapper mod

According to the guys in this thread:

........it is the way to do it!

 

How is it again? One down, five up?

 

I have stock gearing what I do is 5,500rpm in second and clutch it up, with practice I've founf it to be the most consistent and precidtable. I end up doing around 90-100mph when I'm balanced.
