I only went -1 +2 on my R6 and I when I try to pull up wheelies I can feel the rear slipping on me. I thought it was cuz my tire was bald so I changed, put a couple hundred miles on it and it still does the exact same thing, Its not a constant slip, more like a pulsing slip, very strange feeling. Anyone had similar experiences? If I need to use less throttle its a hair line because I've tried and I cant keep it climbing up unless its slipping, its really strange. Maybe I should just go back to stock. And yeah my tire was warm, I was trying today after riding for 45 minutes.

what kind of tire? it may just be a shitty tire...

Yeah, it definatley depends on the tire and the streets your on...out here in vegas, u can never get your tire warm enough, i slide almost every turn i go into, and I can never pull it up without the tire slipping for a second or two first...you just have to learn to account for it...oh, and have fun

Its a Sportec M1, I prefer D 208's but I won these in a contest so I figured I'd use them. I did notice a bit if I forced thru the slipping it kinda mellows out but it was still strange.

Try Maxxis..Mine have never slipped on me..Even when they were brand new with no miles on them

what are you runnin for air pressure, try droping it a little it will help it hook up

I had a m1 that was used up once on the back of my gsxr1k... That thing would slip and slide all over the place... Every time I would clutch 2nd it would slide to the right and I would launch crooked. A friend of mine watched from behind me once and told me the tire would go way out of shape when I released the clutch. Changed the tire and problem solved.

Try less gas and more body english. I had the same problem when I went up 10 in the rear.

I have a 160 M-1 on my F2 and have absolutely no problems. I've ridden in thunderstorms and it hasn't spun once launching a wheelie from a stop or any speed.

LAST CALL

I've got the m-1's too on my gsx-r 1000. No problems. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd all day. I run 25 psi. Try that and maybe it'll help.

is you're chain jumping on the sprocket? it sounds dumb, but that's what i'm thinking since it's a pulsing slip... i rode a long time with my chain jumping teeth cause i'm a lazy bastard.

FHL

Yeah my bike did that when the chain had hard spots, I replace the chain and it's smooth as **** now.

spin yer tire too make it nice and sticky before ya try clutching it up, it'll grab that way :D

SlitZ

it really all depends on how your doin it.... im sure people can bring up a woolie in snow with a track slick...

sounds like lower psi on it and practice some


i was just checkin out your avatar and your way to far up on the bike... you need to lean back, so im sure that is a big factor with your slippin
