Learning how to clutch wheelie on my Kawasaki 2006 ZX6R

[zeikepie]

Is it clutch in , bittt of gass and pop the clutch?

[Dickie180]

Have wheelie in 1st with out the clutch for about a second .But my m8 power wheelie in 3rd about 50mph . Have done this but my bike will not lift up ! So thinking of using the clutch this summer ! So you flick the clutch and give a LITTLE revs ?? Yea !!

[canyonrunner331]

i can power on wheelie with my zx10. i'm scared as shit to clutch it up though.

[descern3]

Nice wheelies bro :) Im still trying to overcome the fear of lifting wheel 2" lol

[rainking1978]

@descern3 Thanks.  Baby step is the key.

[yungmempho]

before you pop it around what rpm are you crusing at? when i am trying to learn it feels as if it is comign up so fast it scares me!

[GunsClap315]

@yungmempho

It's all about not being scared you gotta get up there pretty good for a good balance point..And im shure he is somewere around the 6 or 7000 then clutch up to about 8 and slip it!!

[yungmempho]

@GunsClap315 yea i knoow. something about when it first goes up gets me. lol. o and i never use my rear brakes so it would be extra hard. lmao

[GunsClap315]

@yungmempho

Not using the back brake is the worse thing you can do..There or some how to wheelie videos that are a lot better for people learning..Once you hit the sweet spot you will never put the front wheel down lol..Good luck

[Track1888]

you're road is terrible, you should take another/better !

[liquidlp330]

In what gear r u in?

[rainking1978]

@liquidlp330 1st gear since this was stock video. -1/+2 2nd gear would work better.

[daniel0771]

say if you were pushin 210 would you still be able to do this on this bike

[os9198]

about how many rpms do you jump to get it up in first

[k0ent]

did you have to replace the clutch yet?

[kigen818]

camera man sounds like homer simpson lmfaooo

[19Guardian88]

Oh Ted, how far you have come with your green ZX-10 now! we gotta hit Skyview again! PS we have to get together and make some of these videos (and you guide me in the art of having the front lifted, lol. Slowly getting better tho, will be getting my new Sportec M3 on the back soon

[tompwh]

How do u change gear while doing a wheelie? like clutchless changes?

[Peteioz]

@tompwh you dont change gear

[aybboy636]

Yo i have the same bike. The 636 is a beast, they should have kept making it. Give me the rundown on how to do clutch wheelies. I am getting pretty good at power wheelies already. By the way NICE Video

[BikerJake2010]

I have this bike in titainium, amazing bit of kit, done a couple of videos on my channel. (needs updating cus they were from when i 1st got it)

[FollowHim2Lyfe]

I have a 2004 ZX10. I am def. looking forward to learning to clutch up. Good vid man, looks like you got them down.

[mx450r41]

Nice!  I have the 06 in the same color :)

[charlesrenault]

You are skilled, my brother!

[chococollodi]

now learn how to shift gears

[BUZZ50RIDER]

clutch up in second is easier as you have a better spread of power,also cover the rear brake and once you can do second gear wheelies quick shift in to 3rd and you got even better power delivery to play with...keep practising.....good luck

[bertas80]

nice :)

[velhonen]

Good. One of the few motorcyclists who uses the headlights. Respect.

[1warcquel]

That last one looked a little.. scary 

[gooori]

Nem kéne ezt erőltetni...

[accentplaya18]

Hoodlams?! LOL. U make me smile!!! O shyt, that was a long ass wheelie for a newb!

[kubahobo]

@accentplaya18 shut the fuck up saying "newb" its hard to do this i bet u canr even wheelie ur bike

[accentplaya18]

Hoolams?! LOL. U make me smile!!!

[racefactory900]

The 2006 is the most beautiful of them all... just sex on wheels.

[thimbo86]

Any1 who's asking how to do wheelies, shouldn't b doing wheelies! Simples

[idlethots]

@thimbo86 Because those that can do wheelies are born knowing how to. Jackass.

[alsa1980]

Good vid and appreciate saving the wheelies for when the road is empty. Loads of proper bikers and plenty of bullshitters posting here. The best bikers show it when the road and conditions are right, they tend to live longer than the ones who show off anytime and anyplace! 

[stoppieking75]

change gear ffs,ad b in 4th hahaha

[blcprince1]

How long did it take you to learn?

[LaQuanThe]

Great job man keep it up =D i'm getting it up on my zx6r

[pitrideradz]

Can you shift gears while riding a wheelie now? It helps you to keep it up for much longer with out revving the bike so hard ;)

Adam

[jumpnbean1]

Nice 

[dc1389]

dude just click up to second, no clutch, just click up. i can do it with my 650 enduro till third but it doesnt have enough power to stay up in 3rd

[DRCsyntax]

Glad to see your practicing in a basically empty road, keep it safe man; nice work.

[brabra6106]

isn't that 636 engine powerful enough to do wheelies without clutching?

[305blaine]

@brabra6106 yeah it is i have the same bike 05 with stock gears and i can power wheelie 1st and 2nd check out the video of it type in blaine wheelie

[blackl4life]

@brabra6106 yes. i did it yesterday and im 6'2" 240

[mrfzr400]

not bad. u getitp to a good balence point but dont keep it long. more power mate and u wll crack it. wel done bro

[barneyfzr600]

Try 2nd at the same speed, had a '04 GSXR600 that could come up at 35 MPH. Keep workin N you'll get it. Next will be balance point! Have fun and check out my vids. Stay safe!

[DazeMyLife]

NICE

[SteveO1988]

hey i have the same bike and started to learn to pop it up in 2nd, any tips? do you pull the front end aswell?

[fapposkid]

"HOLY SHIT" XD

[Fuzion180]

nice quiet straight road there to practice, and nice bike :)

[IEatNoobs22]

Camera man is fucking crazy

[bkbbkb]

The scary thing about buying a used bike- you never know how it was used before hand!

[DaveWest07]

@bkbbkb Haha ... i feel sorry for whatever bastard buys my bike :D

[born2makk2007]

almost bust ur ass on that last wheelie haha

[sgoku777]

awesome! ^^

[01R1champ]

speeddemon.

2nd is different than 1st,pull clutch in twist throttle release clutch.going about 50,my 636 is -1 +1,and she shoots right up!

[CodyCollinsSkater1]

he cant hear you so why talk? lol

[speedemon103]

wat were u reving to fore u slipped the clutch? i have a 06 636 with -1 +2 but im having the most trouble with that 2nd gear clutch up

i think im getting scaired after i rev it up and am letting off the throttle when i pop the clutch

[Brudacille]

I just put a down payment on the same bike today in the same color, lol. What do you think of the bike? I owned a 2000 GSXR 750 and don't wanna be disapointed by the smaller displacment.

[rainking1978]

@Brudacille I loved it. I have a zx10r and I miss it. It handles very well and you will not be disappointed. That 636 is an amazing machine. With a few mods, you will make current 750 nervous.

[husker4u]

@Brudacille the newer 600's will have more power than your 2000 GSXR 750. I have had my 2008 GSXR 600 for a summer now and love it! Clutch ups in 1st and 2nd gear are nothing to it. You won't be disappointed! plus the fuel injection makes a huge difference in throttle response. Hope this helps

[socalryder1]

thats tight man, i cant get over the fear of my bike coming up when i power it up, feels like imma flip back. baby steps, some day!

[ND4SPD16Y8]

i had a 2:18 moment last season...

[rainking1978]

Nah man. I took my time. Baby steps.

[socombearhusker]

good job! now learn to clutch up in 2nd gear!

[rainking1978]

I can do third now ;-)

[dukviper90]

@rainking1978 i don't believe you. :)

[Tegbusa]

@rainking1978 at what rpm you were slipping the clutch?

[rainking1978]

@Tegbusa Don't really pay attention to the RPM. It's all in the feel. Start small then work your way up.

[NCcummins]

stock gearing?

[rainking1978]

This video, yes.

[blowdatcocaine]

crazy whacked out individuals

[kmoran666]

i had the same bike. slip the clutch in second and stand tall

[xr200r2002]

very nice sir. that last one looked a lil hairy but still never droped it.. good job!

[KiteTheFun]

wow...a ninja in blue? rare

[etownrunnercc]

youre retarded, ive seen just as many blue ninjas as i have black, red, white. the green is the most common tho

[dukviper90]

@KiteTheFun really? i got one.

[freethug]

@KiteTheFun a lot of the 2006 ninjas were in the blue, even though it was not widely liked..

[archinuk417]

@KiteTheFun I have a blue Ninja :)

[BRBLS1]

Sweet, but that fence on the side of the road is like a cheese cutter. If you it that your in a little trouble. They just put that up along alot of the highways in the part where I live here in Missouri

[xsoulfearx]

lol he almost looped it afew times... gotta work on consistency :P

[asildhgioshdgioashdi]

ahh i want to learn wheelies to on my motobike .. but i dont wanna destroy my bike xD ... with my mountainbike i can wheelies for kilometers... one hand or what the fuck else but i never did it on a motobike ... whats better to start with... in the first or second gear?

[vinesboyseventysix]

people say second but I think first man. just to get used to it going up. second requires way more revs and speed.

[chamber40]

doesn't look safe road, just look at that metal rails o.0

[lpayne9856]

It's easy to critisize sumbody on the job they do wen u ain't got proof that u can do better...... Good job man and fuck the haters

[rainking1978]

@lpayne9856

Thanks man!

[extreeeeeemist]

yes you have alot to learn like getting the bike up while the rs are under 6,000 and double clutching and 3rd gear wheelies trust me you will go down once before your a master

[mullen1200]

I read all of these comments. I have a 01 cbr 929rr

I taught myself to do power up wheelies in first, and I've pretty much stuck to that. I guess I learned the hard way at first. Still, im pretty nervous that im just going to use too much power and flip right over.

I figure i'll do about 30 mph in 2nd, pull in the clutch, give it a little bit of power, and release the clutch?

Also, are you in the upright position when you do these?

[txpimpincali]

and if your doin first gear wheelies shift when you come down so your not slowing down from 13k lol

[txpimpincali]

1st gear wheelies is a no no unless your goin really slow. if not go 2nd dude the gear will last longer and its easier to balance. i started doing the same thing then figured out oh ya 2nd comes up too lol

[rainking1978]

Guys, remember, this was 2 years ago. I learned 1st gear, then 2nd gear, now I can do 3rd gear wheelies on my ZX10R now.

[txpimpincali]

i wasnt tryin to bag on you seems like you got the hang of it. i had 2 600s too and wow does a 1000 really wanna just stand up or wat?! lol

[thuse969]

dude let me lust say that you are completley retarded for even trying to ride a clutch wheelie this long in first gear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

use second bro! it keeps your skin on

[rainking1978]

1. You are the one who sound retarded

2. Stunters clutch in first gear all day long

3. Leather saves my skin, thank you

[cbrandom]

Stunters also have 60 tooth rear sprockets, which you don't. That is irrelevant. He has a point. Try it in second. it's easier to balance with more speed.

[xteri0r]

good shit broo.. i can do power wheelies...but im just lil nervous about clutching it up.. how do u get it up like that?

[rainking1978]

Thanks man, learn the clutch. Practice.

[xteri0r]

what rpm are you pulling in the clutch?

[uptown71304]

the force is strong in this one! lol keep it up and ride smart

[Srirachaa]

I know all of you guys seem to swear by clutch ups, but I power up in first with my 07 10R. That's how I learned and am more comfortable with that, clutch ups for me are much more violent and unpredictable, which is the opposite of what most of you say. I guess its how you learned. Still would like to master the balance point, I can only ride out first gear right now, but I mean shit, that's 1 hundo. Any balance point tips out there for those that do it on liter bikes?

[circut13]

its dr gonzo!

[the375boy]

yeah .... DONT BALANCE POINT ANY BIKE IN FIRST!!! and you have a 10R you could power up second up with no problem... but with a 600 bike its easier and safer (on mechanical parts) to clutch it up in second ( which is what gear this guy is in) thats why we swear by clutch up's, it takes talent and skill, and you can go slower before you hit the ba;lance point... i can clutch it up and balance point my bike at 40mph... you'll never do that with a power wheelie

[speedemon103]

"oh look a car" haha thought it was funny how he said that....nice wheelies btw i want a zx6r sooo bad!!!

[CAZPERsayz]

yo man you guys are crazy

fucking awesome dude -caz ny

[2fastRR]

nicely done dude! i still dont like clutching first gear tho.. but great throttle control

[6Blaz]

great.really... thumbs up (Y)

[DaveWest07]

hey mate what gear were you doing that in ?

[rainking1978]

1st gear, had stock gearing.

[DaveWest07]

I've never really clutched it up, but i have a '05 zx6r and that comes up nicely in 1st off the power. I crack it back at about 8 1/2-9000 rpm and take it to the end of the gear and it comes down nicely. Don't you find clutching pulls it up really hard?

[133xrider]

i have a 636 too and i use clutch too wheeli in 2 gear not in one ... try this .or shift the second gear...but its a nice begining:)

[SpotTheCaper]

nice

[mazakq]

dude why u use the clutch on first gear i got a f4i sport and im doing whelie in first gear only on throtle but is no fun im use clutch to do long secong gear wheelie greating from poland

[rainking1978]

I have a zx10r with plenty of power and I still use the clutch to wheelie. Has nothing to do with that. Clutch makes it more controllable and predictable and consistent.

[Tinamonsterbooty]

dude seriously you can ride a wheelie, you made that so clear by doing it for 3 min strait. This video should have lasted for 14 seconds, thats all it was worth. NONETHELESS nice wheelie

[TheEvilstevil]

hey bro i got a 636 with a 55 back tooth sprocket wow what a difference so much easyer im startin in 3rd trust me ul go pro

[corylepire]

You clutch too much and use too much power... Get your balance point and learn to switch gears while riding.

[jflint23]

i have that same bike man..

[Jwb94]

Great job bro... im still worried i might loop mine =P

[1000RR83]

Dude, you have no worries about getting to that balance point!  That's a good thing. Get a second gear clutch up like that and you will get some serious distance.

[eviljoint420]

try doing it in second

[tonyster2]

how many illigal u-turns did you make that day? lol

[TJAKEkid123]

try second gear with the wheelies, you can get more yardage ;]

[rainking1978]

Check my other videos :)

[djanman]

were you able to do 2nd gear clutch ups? what's the trick or timing? can you do it with stock sprockets on a 600? i have no prob with 1st gear clutch ups but i can't do it on 2nd.

[sebazx6r]

I have a 636 03 and i goes without a clutch on the 1st and no probelm with clutch involved on the 2nd..

[Markitos203]

you got 2 options, either dump the shit out of the clutch while doing 45~ or cruise around 7k then dump the clutch.

i said around 7k because i'm not sure what the odometer reads when i'm around that area, that stock sprocket 636

[bgggbb]

Nice dude! You'll nail that shit soon enough! Looks like you are well on your way!

[flopalock]

this somewhere up north in the Adirondacks?

[QbyHockeyKid56]

ahaha i want to get a bike so bad. the guy using the camera is the best ahaha

[Deidara801]

it seems you want to get a bike just to do tricks get life insurance plz

[QbyHockeyKid56]

yeah whatever. its because of judgmental assholes like you that motorcycles are looked at like the most dangerous thing in the world. Don't tell me what i should and shouldn't do.

[QbyHockeyKid56]

that was to Deidara801. haha my bad.

[CallyWallyPuddinPop]

Sweet video :P Just out of interest was that 1st or 2nd gear?

[rambro]

lol nearly 12'oclokced at the end you can see him panic and drop his left foot. good work in the other wheelies

[rainking1978]

I didn't drop my foot, it slipped off the peg. I didn't panic.

[rambro]

ah k cool. either way ur better than me bahaha!

[WeGoBoomU]

LOL someone has a text at 00:13 haha

[trevor51502007]

keep doing that and you wont have a bike.

[rainking1978]

Wrong, I had it for 3 years and 19,000 miles before I sold it. You fail!

[bgggbb]

hahahaha! Nice! Keep up the good work bro! You'll get it. Practice makes perfect!

[r1ck81]

haha badass wheelies bro, people jus hatin, keep it up on one

[hottsnow1]

this is my favorite looking/sounding bike, thankful every day i get to ride it.

[FrescoBoii]

Your crazy good!

[evaant14]

wat happen in 1:15 ran out of rmp it happens or waz it somethin else

[rainking1978]

Hit the rev limiter and it loses power and it goes down. Until you hit BP, your rpm will keep increasing since you are chasing the front wheel. I got a zx10r now and have no problems keeping it up now. So much torque and power. I need to get some new videos.

[crazybikerman8]

2:04 - 2:10 excellent wheelie...!!!

[oafaloaf]

the first wheelie made me shit bricks! lol nice

5 stars for wearing solid gear

[deanrt100]

i love that fuckin sound

[HostileLaw]

me2

[ElliottCox79]

at 2:19 I thought for sure you bit it, nice save, I only poer first gear to much torque for me, 2nd gear on I clutch, just lifts way to damn fast in first for my likings.

[blagahaga]

the guy filming sounds like Ham from toystory (L)

[Rob89bie]

Probably the best comment evaar

[bjrog2]

hahaha i laughed till i cried and peed. my 05 zx12R is about to get the same treatment. Much man-love to Ham on the commentary

[badcanadian]

That last one was close. Way to ride.

[Lotormaster]

Now you'r ready for stunts! hahahaha nice vid and keep trying good luck

[ALV57]

good job man, that last one kinda scared me though i thought u were going down.. good rear brake control, a lot of people would have panicked and fell

[CHardcoreRetards]

wow really good work mate cant wait until i get them.

[Jaanuman]

Really nice vid man.. I have the exact same bike that I just bought back in November, its one hell of a machine. That color is something else too, huh?

[bluemuppett]

Ur friend sounds like Steve Smith's fat friend out of American Dad.

[dbsshadow]

im still trying to get my front tire up, any advice. i dont wanna start of too fast cuz i dont wanna mess up my bike

[rainking1978]

Yeah, take it slow. It took me 2 seasons to get where I am in the video. Doing too much too soon will get you in trouble. Good luck.

[dbsshadow]

yeah thanks man lol. hey around wat rpm do u pop the clutch?

[Rash237]

get a cage on your bike, i got one on my zx6, best investment ever..

[murphdog1411]

looks good man keep it up! also change pants after last one! haha

[rainking1978]

Thanks. Ha, yeah my left foot fell of the pegs. Thought it was time to stop :-D. I've gotten much better at them now.

[DexterGoneWild]

im can only do power wheelies on my 600.

I could never find out how to clutch it up

Iv read how-to's everywhere but they dont do a good enough discription.

I guess you accelerate, and once it gets to 4k you pull in the clutch and then when it gets to 5k you release the clutch....that what Im getting from it...

[jamesk1000]

try downshift83 realy helpfull

[DexterGoneWild]

I found him allready and watched all of his videos...I still fail misoribly with clutch wheelies...

im happy with my power wheelies though.

[vinesboyseventysix]

shweeet
