hey there everybody. 1st gear power wheelies ok. 2nd gear sit downs not as good as my stand ups. hey i have pretty good balance. The clutch is not my strong point at the moment. I stay away from 1st gear clutchies cos I nearly got thrown off but just landed the bars straight in time. personal preference. If there is anyone with an k5 600 who can steer me on how to clutch up second. I start usually at 4-5k, close throttle, rev quikly to 7500-8000rpm and engage clutch quickly and smoothly cos your probably sittin there thinkin why it didn't come up, well I think it may be my body position cos of my 1st gear escapades. I'll put my ass back next time but If theres any way of doin a more controlled way of doin it I'd love to hear it. Oh yeh I LOVE MY GIX. Sia :headscrat :headscrat

yeah you really gotta relax your upper body and "go with the flow" so-to-speak....its so key to getting her up.....a few pounds of added pressure on the front could be the deciding factor for a nice wheelie or a weak ass 1-footer hahahah WHICH by the way some mad stunter on his new R6 did when riding past me today hahahahaah it was great....i was stopped at a light and his side got the green first...so he gunned it and then whacked the throttle open...it came up about a foot and slammed right back down..he looked over at me hoping i didn't see it.....YES I DID BUDDY!!!! i gave him a military salute and laughed hard as fuck hahahahah

We were sitting in a parking lot just bullshittin, having a smoke. (Not the Chronic!!) HAHA When all of a sudden this Gix 6 rolls out looking nice as hell. Look at dude and say nice bike man. He looks at us and does the usual wind up 1st, blip the gas and lift the front wheel. Must have not been paying attention because there was a Chevy van right in front of him. When he slammed it down he locked the brake up, washed out and went under the van. The back tire came off the ground in the van. We ran up to him to see if he was allright. Mall gaurds were running over also. Dude says "I have no idea what just happened" my boy says " yeah you do, you tried to ride a wheelie right into the back of the van showing off" HAHAAH He felt like shit. All embarressed.

HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHHHAHHAHAHHA ruff ryder try-outs are held nationwide i see :lol: HAHAHA Yup. Sure are. :laughingr :laughingr The best part was the fact that he had some kind of dumb bell going through his nose and his lip was pierced. Well the one in his lip was nowhear to be found. His ARAI that was puff can painted red destroyed and blood all over his face. Not really hurt though. Blood musta been from the lip. Rash all over the un-protected arms. Thats expected though.

I did little popcorns then put my ass back, made my arms light on the bars and wammoo, pretty much hit bp at 8-9k. My lil bro had me on cam which helped so much. I luv doin em. Back to the query I have got it right on paper. 5k, throttle off, clutch in, rev to 7-8k let it out quik and obviously BODY POSITION. If you think I'm doin it wrong let me know please. Thanks for replyin and as for the r6 rider. Sounds like he needs some practice. ha ha tanks JOEL :clap:
