Hey guys, im new to the whole riding ur bike on the back wheel scene but really want 2 learn how just so i fit in with other boys. I am riding a 98 gsx-r 600 and i have been able 2 throttle it up about a foot but it takes a bit of work and is a bit fast for my likeing while im still learning. ( About 45-50 mp/h). I would really like 2 learn how 2 clutch wheelie but not real sure about speeds, rpm's or position and the idea of just letting rip on the throttle is still a bit daunting to think that the bike will just go straight up and then straight over. If anyone could throw a little light on the subject it would b much appreciatied, cheers the boy in Oz. ps im about 6'3" and around the 88kgs.

Had a look at the info and found it really helpfull, although still having a little trouble trying to find the right rpm range as most of the time when i get on the throttle it just lights up the rear and i end up doing a power burn 1st threw to 3rd-4th. My rear tire is getting old but still has plenty of tread onn it yet so i guess its just a matter of trial and error really. Throttling it up no probs but still not 2 keen on the speed so i plan on taking it slow and getting these clutch ups perfect. Thanks for all the advice i have told a few friends about that article and they also found it extremly helpfull, get back 2 u guys when im worthy and will post a few pics when i have mastered the art.
