2nd gear wheelie 07 gsxr 750

[Pigman]

Found this wheelie silliness on another site:
I am beginning to get really comfortable with the beast, (3000 miles and counting). Have been riding the traction control "off" for weeks now, and finally am getting comfort level in playing with the throttle with second gear power wheelies, and now with first gear power wheelies. The goal is eventually to feel comfort with third gear ones as well, but you have to be at 110+ to be in the zone, not smart on the street for every reason you can imagine.

This is Why people shouldnt listen to squids.....Power Wheelies will get you Killed quicker than shit...NEVER DO POWPOW Wheelies always Clutch it up and cover the rear break

Thanks....

NEVER DO POWPOW Wheelies always Clutch it up...

You mean I'm doing it wrong? This cold weather we've been having has been perfect for downhill power whillies.

in the process of learning its better to do clutch wheelies.
Once you have a lot fo experience about balance and breaking and throttle control you can do whatever you want

Sorry... I forgot my [SARCASM] tags.

HAHAH

ya power wheelies are scary... im glad you forgot the tags..
going downhill is just as bad..
clutchin is the way to go ...a little up hill actually helps when learning.

Enjoy.


Awww Billy beat me to it. Guess I should've read the whole thread.

I wasn't kidding about doing power wheelies (down hill included). I prefer to power wheelie over abusing my clutch.

I don't understand why you guys think power wheelies are so much more dangerous.
I can't seem to clutch up 2nd gear for the life of me, or I'm just not willing to beat my clutch that bad. The 1000 is geared pretty high in 2nd.
I clutch up 1st all the time but in 2nd I have to bounce the suspension, pull, and gunnit!

we have the same bike and what you just described is like 4th gear wheelie.
typically 2nd you can just power wheelie it too but its a lot easier to just clutch it up real quick

[korndogg]

Sitting or standing?

[tsorfas]

either.. i usually sit though i dont like stand ups

THINK...I know for a fact they are seeing as I lost a good friend to a POWPOW wheelie...

What happens with a power wheelie is it doesn't come up right away so your giving it as much gas as possible..so your speed goes up a ton. Then car pulls out or a dog runs by and your already doin 100 splat. And there is many vids of people putting them down and getting a violent tank slapper and then they eat shit....cause the bike is screaming at rev limiter from a POWPOW Wheelie...

so instead of doing 100 you can clutch it up at any speed and get it verticall and keep the speeds down, have more controll and balance..but it does take more kill and if you cant do right then don't DO THEM at ALL..

but You can Do what you want....Im really just a squid in training

I had until recently a 06' GSXR-1000 with stock gearing and that would come up extremely easy in 2nd @ a wide range of speeds.
If you need to bounce a GSXR 1K your doing it wrong.

Started riding in 94' and the only clutch I replaced in 30+ bikes was my first bike a 78' CB750F.

I've been clutching up my bike for 6 yrs and the clutch is mint. Once you find the right rpm for whatever speed you're going you barely hurt the clutch, that's my opinion anyway. Haven't had to adjust the cable at all since I bought the bike new.
Again just my opinion but I think stand ups are easier. You can stagger your left foot to the rear passenger peg so you can actually stand up and not feel like your feet are pushing the bike fwrd.
Caloots, get at me me sometime and we'll have a training session.

I haven't tried clutching second since I installed the revised clutch washer (which made a huge difference). I could try it. But I like what I do. works in 3rd also. All sitting. I don't like the stand ups.

As I said silliness. Actually that quotes comes from 22 pages of silly.

im with pigman..
its common sense... the bike wants to come up to aggressively under power.

clutchin it easier and can be done at lower speeds.

on anotha note..
