1st and 2nd Gear Clutch Up Wheelies GSX-R600

short clip of me practicing 1st and 2nd gear clutch ups. i was practicing only 1st gear clutch ups and decided to try it in 2nd gear. i've only been able to get it off the ground a couple inches in 2nd so i thought it give it a lot more throttle. the result was me almost looping it off camera. after that i learned how to control the throttle a little better which is how i rode that 2nd gear wheelie out a little longer. anybody have tips for stand ups? i feel like im gonna fly off the back of the bike. i think i need to lean over the bike a little more.

what year is your bike? and where do you clutch up on 2nd?

[hoydisboyispinoy]

i have a 2005 GSX-R600. im not sure about the rpms but i usually clutch it up around 35 to 40 mph.

do u have stock exhaust and rear sprocket?

[hoydisboyispinoy]

i had a yoshimura trs carbon fiber full exhaust w/ power commander, but i sold it and put the stock exhaust back on. the rear sprocket is stock but i did go -1 in the front. going -1 in the front sprocket is the same as going +3 in the rear.

@DaZiomas You have 6 clutch plates in a motorbike so you can do that all day long for years and ure bike will be fine, a car has like 2 or 3 and how long do they last.... and people ride the clutch in traffic in cars.

stand uos are far easier if you ask me. but many different ways to do them. some people lock their legs while i bend mine and practically hump the gas tank. all in what feels right for you

@DaZiomas y...bikes' clutches are meant to slip

[droan29000]

yeah mindless self indulgence music !!!!

[DaZiomas]

Nice one mate. But ull be looking for a new clutch real soon :S.

dont listen to these dumbasses telling you to bounce or preload. clutching is the way to go. at least till you get good. practice makes perfect.

have u gotten any better since u put this vid up? try to stand and bring the bike up... i feel like u get more control... and please do clutch the bike... makes it easier on all the parts... no in first though.. get more control in second...

None.

Stock newer gixxers are geared so high from the factory they hit their top speed before the revlimiter.

With -1 in the front 80mph = 8kRPM, 120 mph = 12k RPM and so on (checked with my gps) and redline is 16.5 so that means your top speed would be around 165mph.

don't use ur clutch at all, there is no need, i have a 99 zx6 and a 96 zx7 and i don't use clutch on either, the 600 i run 2nd gear up to about 50-55 and the stand up on the pegs or stand on the passenger pegs, load up the front end (bounce it) as the front bounces up roll on the throttle hard and then back off as it comes up and you get closer to the ballance point. same with the 7 but alot easier. you just need to figure out what rpm your torque peak is on the 600 its about 6-7 k
