i have a 01 gsxr600 down one in the front and up two in the back, and i have been practicing highchairs alot recently all in 2nd gear, everyone said to do it in first but i feel it's too jumpy, i also tried a few on a buddy's 03 gsxr600 witht stock gearing and it will also come up with no problems, i will post some pics when i get new ones

good luck man

Re: Tank wheelie

hi i ride a 94 900rr and i was all into powering them up in first untill i got tired of waisting all my rpm's just to get it up! so i for shure recamend clutching them in first here is what i do.

step number 1 : (get on the tank fat ***! just playen) get going about 3-4 mph and hop your *** on the tank.

step number 2 : pull the clutch in and rev her up try not to look at the tach go bu the sound of the moter once you are at the desired rpm (sound) SLIP the clutch out dont just dump it!

step number 3 : LEAN BACK and keep your arms straight (so many tank wheelies look like **** because people dont lean back and keep there arms straight) then use the great skill of throddle control and ride it out keep it high and you wont go threw the rpm's

step number 4 : when you are setting it down right before the front tire hits the ground giver her a little gas to have the front end come down a little nicer and you wont go threw so many fork seals :YEAH

well thats how i do it not saying it is the right way but i have the best tank wheelies in my crew!

well have a wheelie good time!
