Re: what RPMs to clutch in 2nd or 3rd?
ok honestly.... you should be doing it the other way.
you should use the clutch for slow stuff, aka first gear.
and i just bounce it up on the highway, aka 2nd and 3rd gear.
edit: if your clutching your **** up on the highway your clutch is going to be toast in weeks.

i wheelied an f4 a few times . What i woudl do is roll about 50mphs in 2nd gear slip the clutch then give it gas and it would come up.
I clutch all my wheelies at all speeds on any bike i wheelie.

Thats true I clutch it all the time and never have a problem with clutch. I actually prefer clutch or power wheelies. You get them up to balance quicker.only way of burning your clutch is if your riding the clutch all the time.
Clutch it up dude.....best way

yea if you clutch it quick and dont drag it out the bike will get up towards bp nice and smooth... powering wheelies its kind of unpredictable when learning since it comes up slow at first then jumps towards bp after you get like 3 or 4 ft off the ground... clutchin is the way to learn
and jared, im gonna be out ridin today if you feel like tryin some new ****

if you clutch it the right way you wont burn your clutch up.I ride an f3 and Ive been clutching it for about a year and my clutch is still good.So if your burning through clutches your doing something wrong.And as far as what rpm you pick if you clutch it properly bang its up
