I've got 2nd gear wheelies pretty much on lock now, I usually pull it up around 50 or so and get it balanced out around 70-75 and can ride them for 1/4-1/2 mile on good ones. I've been trying to get up 3rd but I can only get it maybe 6 inches or so standing staggered, bouncing and clutching the hell out of it, and I'm -1 up front.
It's on 00 gsxr 750 with a full yosh, K&N, so I thought it would come up easier than this. Any advice?

I just want to be able to pull it up on the freeway without slowing down much at all.

yes ,why would you start off in 3rd anyway any bike to start off in 3rd youd burn the clutch up .why not shift while your on one wheel ,prob. solved

mine comes up in third no prob but im geared -1+6

morrow

im up 16 whats the point

Got2josh

I like standing staggered, anyways clutches aren't that expensive.

You've got +6 on me but could you get it up stock or just -1?

r6 n shit

i used to clutch mine up in 4th and hold it at around 80

morrow

oh got ya my bike has plenty of power too i dunno

you dont even need 3rd gear. you can rock 2nd all day long anywhere from 40-70 mph controlled and smooth. bounce it up and ride it. if you're tachin out in 2nd, then you need to work on technique not 3rd gear ...................................

Shoot my GSX-R 600 will bounce 3rd up no problem.. I am -1 & +2 I just go about 75 and it will stand up all day long. Well untill I hear that clunk clunk knock knock, and them I'm walking home........

just use 2nd..

Brad C.

stock the bike would come up in third but it took some technique play around eventually you will get it

Suicidl

slow down before you all kill someone

learn balance point not speed

my 929 will come up in 6th my f4i in 5th but why

2 Vicious Freestyle

i jus bought an 05 750 and it'll power third bone stock, and balance at a low rpm at about 75 haven't tried 4th but i assume i could clutch 4th.

Z-UNIT

did u jsut tell sumoen who doest have teh brake reflex, and is doing power wheelies(no offense got2josh) to turn his idle up, are u trying to kill him...IDIOT

I don't have a problem balancing it out, I'm still working on KEEPING it balanced but I'm not running till redline or anything everytime I wheelie. I have brought it up in 2nd at 65-70 or so but by the time I get it all the way up it's around maybe 80-85 or so and that's pretty high up on the tach to be running for an exit or two. I was looking to get 3rd up not so much to do them faster, but just to be nicer to the engine and have more of a rev range to play with.
For those of you with stock or pretty much stock gearing, I'm -1 up front, what revs do you clutch from? I've only tried a little from around 5-6k and it only will come up a little. I'm standing staggered and bouncing the front pretty hard. Any tips on technique for me to get it up higher?

Got2josh

Actually I DO have some brake reflex, I always use it when I feel I'm getting too high and I try to use it every time to bring it back down instead of chopping the throttle. And power wheelies? come on now? I've read these boards enough to know not to get into that crap, it's all clutch for me. Once I get 2nd balanced easy everytime I'm going to start rocking 1st and working on slowing it down, but the idle won't come into play for a while yet.

if your revving out 2nd gear clutch it up at a slower speed and get it higher faster..3rd gear on a stock bike is way too fast to just be doing a normal stand up.

s4m222

maybe what he wants is not to do a 3rd gear speed wheelie at like 90.. but he wants to be in 3rd gear so the bike isnt reving so hard in 2nd...

try shifting to 3rd from 2nd once u get it to the BP.. if u can shift clutchlessly with 2 down just takes a bit of work to do it on one wheel

I've gotten my old 954 up in 3rd gear here at 30mph, you just need to bounce hard clutch and pull back on the handlebars to start it lifting, but it feels more like a power wheelie than clutching and eats up a ton of revs.

You are obviously doing the higher speed stuff on the highway, I still love that myself....Your bike can come up in third on power alone, obviously clutching it will get you to the balance point quicker. Just practice practice. As for your staggered stance, to each his own, I only do that for slow wheelies, otherwise for wheelies 100km/hr and up I am on the rear sets. Do you, practice, if your doing what your doing it'll all come with time.
