Howdy
I am a newbie... the name is mega presumptous, but as I am one of the few that looped a 12 during my first wheelie attempt... I thought it funny....
Question. I am being told off for the way I wheelie. Ever since I looped it, been a tad cautious in clutching my 600 - more concern for the bike than me - and so have been snap revving and lifting... told that is real bad for the bike and that I am an idiot...
Welcome opinions... and how to get over that "holy ****" she's coming up too quick when clutching....

Tell them to 
off, you'll do things how you're comfortable doing them. As long as you're dumping the clutch, it doesn't matter if you snap rev it, or if you just wail on it and snap the clutch, its' still loading it up with tons of force. The only way not do that is power up wheelies, which can't be done with 600's very well out of first gear. Do what you gotta do, and ride to your comfort level

Um...huh? My '01 can do backflips if I tried to overdo a power wheelie. Any modern 600 can easily power wheelie right over onto it's asz as long as the rider isn't over 250 pounds...which I'd bet she isn't.

Re: Howdy
ouch!, and thanx!!!
have discovered its easier to stand up then sit down with clutching wheelies on my 600... easier in that, I can push the bastard down if it comes up to freak out point. Still cant hold a sitter though...
