Ok so first off i wanna appologize for maken yet another damn wheelie post, but before you all hit the back button if you could help me out with any info it would be greatly appreciated. Ok so I went out and bought the sportbike this year, being it wasnt my first bike owning a couple cruisers such as shadows in the past I picked up the riding and cornering area of the bike fairly fast, but damn do i strugle with geting my front end up.
My budy took his R6 over last year cresting over a hill and he admited he had probally rushed his wheelies to quickly so I've taken it slow figureing i just need to deal with the learning curve or risk what he did. So about 2 months down the road and i still cant bring her up much higher then a foot or 2, From time to time i some how manage but nothing consistent. My technique is generaly to start out in 2nd gear get between 35 to 38 mph and one finger my clutch in tell it begins to slip a bit, i quick flick my wrist and release but seem to only come up a minimal hight. I at first figured well im not revn it high enough, so as i begin to take note of where i was revn it too i realized at times i nearly bounce it off my rev limiter in 2nd to bring it up which im guessing will have a catistrophic outcome if i ever hook a big one up and bounce it that hard. So can anyone explain to me what it is i may be doing wrong ? Am i not sliping the clutch quickly enough ? possibly not grabn enough throttle so that after its released it has the power to continue bringing it up ? Thx in advance.
