Went to a private road and did a few 1st gear wheelies today. Wow! gets your heart pumping. :squid:
Wish I had pics or videos but I was alone
everyone makes it sound so easy.

I have a great line for that quote ................but will keep it to myself ,lol
I want to do one so bad. I have been practicing clutching, but I always get scared when the front comes up because I tend to pull on the throttle side of the handlebars. I want to get this accomplished by summer. everyone makes it sound so easy.
will this be the same thread that'll be used to describe the drops when they happen?
If so I want to subscribe to it.:cheer:
I dunno I clutch wheelies up all the time, it's very easy to me. The fz6 doesn't have enough torque to loop it easily. I start from rolling at about 15mph clutch in throttleup to about 5k and let the clutch out smoothly and quickly I don't dump it. As the front comes up I back off the throttle a tiny bit if I need to but then add more once I reach a comfortable angle. It comes up smooth, but quickly, continue adding throttle all the way to redline to keep it up, at around 80mph it'll start bounching off the limiter, I cluthless shift into second and it comes down pretty easily. I can't keep the bike up in second just not enough power with stock gearing. All in all it's good fun in a empty parking lot or long private streeet. Usually run for about 1/4 a mile.. sometimes I can milk it to 1/2mile. Just don't grab a handful of break after you set it down or you're goin to have a bad tank slapper kind of day.
Stoppies on the otherhand, those I haven't been able to figure out..
G'luck and don't be afraid, like I said unless you pull the clutch in and wind her all the way up and dump the clutch it's going to be pretty hard to loop it. Go in steps, just learn how to get the wheel up before you worry about riding them out. :thumbup:
