[hydrosav2007]

hello, nice vid, i just taught myself first gear clutch wheelies, i havent gotten any power wheelies on mine (all stock 08 s) even in first, maybe a few inches, im trying to learn stand up second gear wheelies but i havent had much luck with bounce and power or clutching it, (i cut off a piece of my clutch lever to allow a good hand hold and use two fingers to let out the clutch, less helped a lot!!) any tips from anyone, stuff ive seen on forums are more miss than hit. thanks

@hydrosav2007 Practice your power wheelies in first gear before you try stand-ups in second. You'll probably stop doing clutch wheelies once you learn power wheelies... 1st gear, accelerate hard to 6,000rpm then snap throttle off and back on full immediately. Make sure to sit on the back of the seat.

Clutching in 2nd is easier than power in 2nd, but i've seen videos of both being done. I've not attempted 2nd gear yet myself though... practice practice practice

Good to know it can rip up in 2nd, I am not too comfortable in the 1st. (:

Hey, Fellow SV-haver here.

Are you shifting to second without the clutch? (when the front wheel is up)

Thx!

[svtirefire]

Welcome fellow SV-haver. Most of the time I use the clutch. When I don't it pops up super hard and fast when I shift and it freaks me out!

I assume you are the same mudsurfer1234 of SVRider?

[Mudsurfer1234]

Yup. Not too many Mudsurfer1234's around. Tis me.

Nice wheelies but I'm sure I can hear you dipping the clutch. Don't want to start any arguments but are you? Just got myself an SV650 and it won't lift up however hard I twist the trottle?

[svtirefire]

No I'm not using the clutch. I bring it up to about 15 mph, give the throttle a quick flick to raise the front, then chop the throttle to drop the front and preload it. Then go wide open as the suspension bounces back up and it lifts right up.

[boysinblack]

are you shifting? nice wheelies any stoppies?

[svtirefire]

I wasn't shifting when I did these ones. Check out my other vid "Wheelie Practice on SV650 and SV1000S" for some 1st-2nd wheelies and a couple little baby stoppies.

[ducatisamazing]

thats in first eh?

[svtirefire]

Yeah thats in first. No way you can get a power wheelie in 2nd with that bike. :(

[ducatisamazing]

i have the same bike.. well sv650s 2006.. just got it last week. only got a few hours in on it.. took cold to ride now. cool vid btw

[bmewillow1985]

if you preload the front shift to second and throttle it pulls right up. I do it on my 05 svs. Fellow SVrider forum user as well.

[bmewillow1985]

beg to differ! I can power my K5 SV up in 2nd with no clutch, just pre-load the front suspension and twist then let off then hammer it she picks up easily in 2nd for me.

[vardypeeps]

ahh that makes sense. Thanks for letting me know. Might give it a bash.

[metalmoraska]

damn good sir. power it up, screw clutchin it up.

[blazingsvbiker]

lower the speed, higher the rpm's you will be able to do "long" wheelie, i start my powerwheelie @ 40Km/h 5000rpm's and can hold it till 13000rpm's (end of first gear)

[svtirefire]

13000? Redline is 11000 and rev limiter is 11500!
