My first wheelie on the 750

THe other day, I pulled my first wheelie. I was at a stop, revved a little ten let go of the clutch, then throttled it. it came up pretty cleanly. I was trying to see if I could get it up, but it didnt scare me like another time it came up quickly without me trying.

So do 750's just pop up with out you even trying?

I've never popped my 750 but it's bone stock aside from the K&N nad Kerker slip on, my buddy's TL1000 and RC51 lift everytime in first........ *Note to self* change sprockets :hmmm:

well I don't know if thats a good thing to just have the front wheel come up when you are getting on it.

O.k let me get this straight, u were a dead stop and pulled it up or were u rolling in 1st and pulled it up. Both are pretty crazy to do i'd be very careful cuz if u hit a power curve on eaither one its gonna be hard to bring it back down. Just be careful and always wear ur gear. My 2cents would be practice clutching in up 2nd but take ur time and practice cuz nobody learns in 1 day. :cool:

i just go almost full throttle on my 01 600 with mods and it comes up nice and smoothly and just floats there for a while. i still havent got the hang of clutching 2nd gear up.

My 05 will wheelie first if your sitting up an crusing about 35mph an slap it wide open it will go straight up an down. if you lean forward a little more it dont come up as high but just a little

I have an '02 750 and first gear will come off the ground around 7k just rolling on the throttle. You shouldn't have a need to clutch up in second with a 750, just give it a decent bounce and roll on the throttle and it will come right up. Third gear can be bounced up too with out the clutch. If you do decide to clutch it be very carefull, it comes up real fast. I find it easiest just to bounce it, seems more controlled.

well I don't know if thats a good thing to just have the front wheel come up when you are getting on it. Guess you never rode a 1K then.

Guess you never rode a 1K then. Yah... even when strapped I can pull wheelies in first and second....

you should be able to power/bounce up any 750....my 600 comes up no problem in 1st..roll to about 6-7K, let off the throttle and as the front suspension dips, i crack the throttle and she comes up...from there its all how you twist your wrist that controsl height, etc.

My 2cents would be practice clutching in up 2nd but take ur time and practice cuz nobody learns in 1 day. :cool: I always wear my gear. I was at a stop sign at the place we usually practices stunts. its in an industrial park, where its empty on weekends. at a stopsign, the first time, i revved it up a little too much, and let out the clutch quickly. I wasn't expecting it to do that, so it freaked me out. a little later, I tried to do that again, I put a little more throttle in it, kinda like I was launching for a quarter mile run or so, then I let out the clutch, but not too fast, then my front end raised, and what by my buddies where telling me, at least 2 feet. didn't ride it for very long, just a quick popup inbetween 30-50 feet.

my 05 gsxr 600 pulls up in first just by rollin the throttle i dont have to open close nothing just roll it open i dont know what your all talkin about i hate first gear too twitchy i like second

I have a completely stock 2000 750 and it comes up with no problem in 1st, 2nd or 3rd gear. 3rd is the only one that needs a bounce. Move back in the seat as far as you can go, and try it then. I don't use the clutch on my 750 becuase it comes up to fast and is harder to control. First gear wheelies are better to learn in because the engine braking effect is better. You can go just past 12 o'clock and let go of the throttle and it will bring you back down. The other gears have less engine braking effect and are more likely to let you flip the bike.

yea i have a stock 01 600, it doesn't seem to want to pull up at all when i go full throttle. i do however sit pretty much all the way in tahe front of the set since im only 5'9. if i sit back, will that make much difference? i just orded a TRE as well. will that help?

Tre, just really good for getting rid of speed limiter. They dont really do alot, if you know your bike then youll notice a little bit more and engine braking is increased also with the tre.

i have an 04 600 its lowered about 1.5" (im short) and im having trouble gettin up on one wheel. will being lowered make it harder to bring it up? or is it just me.

yeah, messing around with the rear suspension will usually make it harder to pull up. I forget exactly why but lowered bikes take somewhat more effort to bring up. Just CLUTCH, don't bother with the powpowpower wheelies, they're a complete waste of time for many reasons. One of which is, when you finally learn to balance out a first or second gear power wheelie (which will take a lot longer to learn than clutching) and you want to move onto highway stuff, it's REALLY hard to power wheelie a 600 at 70. You're going to end up clutching after you learn wheelies anyways, either way, so start out the right way and clutch it. And no, it's not going to make your clutch wear out harly any faster at all. You slip the clutch LESS in a first gear wheelie than you do starting out before you do the wheelie.

It is harder to bring a lowered bike up like Got2josh said. But it will come up but the thing u gotta watch for is when u come down. If you come down to hard ur gonna be hitting ur heads and bottom fairings evrytime u do a wheelie.

Very True; i use to do power wheelies and it got me nowhere but after i learned clutch no prob bringing up my 600 in 3rd doing bout 70 oh but thats with my sprocket kit :thumbup:

dude, that's the worst thing to do, shifting while in a wheelie, enough of the gsxr's have tranny problems with second gear as it is, no point in helping those along. Just clutch up 2nd, it might feel a little different at first but learn it, you'll be glad you did

I was trying to see if I could get it up, but it didnt scare me like another time it came up quickly without me trying. If i try that on my 01' the damn thing will literally flip out from under me at a stop. on my 750 i don't even use the clutch unless i wanted to loft the front end on the freeway, but i'm not a stunter or a wheelie expert for that matter.

I've brought a Stock F4i up in 4th gear. i heard those are bad ass to stunt in. Damn gota get me one of those:damn:

Just clutch up 2nd, it might feel a little different at first but learn it, you'll be glad you did this is just the way ive always got into 2nd,some times i just hit neautral i use no clutch just twitch the wrist.lets me catch it at just the right time.usally i start wheelies at 30 not 70

ya, but what do you think that's doing to second gear???

So do 750's just pop up with out you even trying? i would think so i can power up my 600 no problem....

my 750 needs boucned clutch in every gear but first...first gear..ya it will float up all day long...but no matter what in second er 3rd i have to be standing and bounce and clutch to bring it up and keep it up for any respectable distance....i have tried bounce/power a bunch of times...just dont work out for me i guess........

I have a 2k gsxr 600 and im having a hell of a time trying to get it up in first and second.... power in first and clutch in 2nd..... I read the post on wheelie 101 but im still having a bunch of trouble getting it up... dont know what im doing wrong.. you guys got anything to help me out ?

keep trying... i got there after two weeks of an hour a day practice... sometimes more on the weekends. sit back, hit the juice to 5k in first, completely let off the gas, push and pull on the bars like you are going to fly off a jump on a bmx bike... (bounce) and hit the throttle wide open. leaning back, and aniticpating that the bike is going to come up and you keep needing to stay leaned back helps alot too. practice it with a somewhat low gas tank... usually helps a bit. in a few weeks you'll have it and be ready for something spiffier.. like trying to bounce standups in fourth on the freeway or something stupidly nutty like me

guys i got a question, ive been trying a few times now to just power my 98 750 up at about 7K in first but im not sure i want to be doing my first wheelies that fast! does it come up really fast if i were to clutch it around 3K in first?

Throttle control. what does that mean? please elaborate!

baby steps, ride in second about 30...4k rpm......slip clutch till 8k and help it pull up(anticipate it). this is not near enough to get you to bp. but you should have wheel lift, and your not going 60. mine to bounce up 2nd no clutch, has to be at 60 to be in the meat of the power band and sometimes still it will either come up an inch or a foot, but if i catch it right..3 feet or so the higher the longer it will ride... my freind on my bike can ride them really long and hes a little heavier than me...but he rides 1000 (gsxr)and is super good at wheelies...get good at 1st gear wheelies to feel what its like to have the front come up..try and get them real high ...so you become comfy with it!!!!!! good luck oooh yeah fuel amount makes big diff. and how hot tire is :thumbup:

yea i have a stock 01 600, it doesn't seem to want to pull up at all when i go full throttle. i do however sit pretty much all the way in tahe front of the set since im only 5'9. if i sit back, will that make much difference? i just orded a TRE as well. will that help? If you read the wheelie 101 section take note to the sit back as far as you can and try to use your knees to clench on to the tank so basically your arms have no weight on them at all, which leaves you to control the throttle with out leaning on it. maybe that helps a bit. it helped me Stock 05 600, Venom can, Harris grips, Crash bar ends, Ozzy knobs!

i've got my 97 600 jetted and a sprocket kit on it.. bitch comes up all the time not high bc i dont try, just from hitting it, if i do the snap of the throttle thing the bitch is going to come up really easy rofl

you can power up a 750 real easy in first.. :bowdown:

well today I am going to try my first clutch up wheelie. I have been practicing just slipping the clutch in and I am a heavier person so I needed to bring up the rpm's a little higher. My power up wheelies are easy in first gear. 2nd gear I have to scoot back and press the front down then pop it up. After I do clutch up wheelies I want to learn to do stand up wheelies... with my left foot on my back peg.

get a camera and take some vids

get a camera and take some vids I will when I get them down. I dont want to mount a camera and show you how I eat shit. I would be nervous of dropping the camera also :laughingr :laughingr :laughingr

:needpics:

I've never popped my 750 but it's bone stock aside from the K&N nad Kerker slip on, my buddy's TL1000 and RC51 lift everytime in first........ *Note to self* change sprockets :hmmm: No offense but i would work on technique instead of chaning sprockets, be safe!

i havent really played with 2nd too much on my k5 750, but in first it dosent matter what i do, i wheelie. even if i hit it at like 4.5k it still comes up at about 8k. I am taking it slow, getting comfortable with 1st gear. I am working my way towards clutching 2nd. Ive tried hitting it, letting off and then hitting it, but no luck. I wasn't sitting back all the way either.

Could just get good at 1st to 2nd shifting while the wheel is up...that way you can bring it up easy with first then go to second to hold it. Here's a video of my friend doing it on a SRAD 600 he used to have... http://www2.hawaii.edu/~kuroyana/Files/shift.WMV I'm probably gonna try that pretty soon. I got good at holding 1st gear to redline already so I figured I'd step it up.

dude, that's the worst thing to do, shifting while in a wheelie, enough of the gsxr's have tranny problems with second gear as it is, no point in helping those along. Just clutch up 2nd, it might feel a little different at first but learn it, you'll be glad you did I agree.. practice clutching 2nd gr. be that much easier and safer then throddling 1st gr wheelies. peace

well I don't know if thats a good thing to just have the front wheel come up when you are getting on it. It happens if you got the power.I got a 2002 gsxr 600 i dropped one down in the front and went three up in the back.Im more into racing so i dont relly like the gearing its to much im only gonna keep the one down in the front cause i lose to much top end.But if your into stunting youll like it cause it comes up easy.1st gear ill hit it at like 8,000 rpm and it comes straight up.just straight power wheelie.Im also slammed to the ground so if you have a stock height bike it will come up alot easier.

I agree.. practice clutching 2nd gr. be that much easier and safer then throddling 1st gr wheelies. peace Thats the way to go,and if you have a hard time just clutching it try bouncing it up alittle to.You just gotta keep on trying and get the technic that feels comfortable to you.

The stock 96 750 I used to have would come up in 1st and 2nd without the clutch no problem, I know they softened the power on the later models to make them safer to ride though. It would come up in 2nd nice and smooth all the way to about 80ish, then smoothly come back down.

I read the post on wheelie 101 but im still having a bunch of trouble getting it up... dont know what im doing wrong.. you guys got anything to help me out ? my bikes pretty much the same as yours, and i have had similar difficulties (97 GSXR600 Full Yosh, Stage 1 Jet Kit, K&N filter). for one, clutching my bike up is difficult for me because of how stiff the clutch lever is. i rode my friend's zx10 and the clutch on that thing is like butter compared to mine. i find bounce/power wheelies in first are best for me on my bike, although they are discouraged by most (and for good reason). if you really want easier wheelies on a 600, i hear changing your gearing is the way to go!

noted. maybe the Admin should close this sucker.

ah, they leave em open....too many threads to close each one when it gets old.

you need toi put that bike in third, get it in the powerband and pull up....be carefull though becuase if you get on it to hard she will stand right up
