. . . if a 600 has the power to turn this into a wheelie . ..

I'd bet the farm against pulling a wheelie like that on a 6, but no doubt stoppies and rolling burnouts are doable.

6 has all the power you need to do anything a litre bike does. Just takes a little more control. The post below has a vid of me doing a highchair on the freeway on my 6R. Here's a pic.

Do you have a link to the video of that?

not a good pic but still gets the point across. 6r has plenty of power. Mines all stock gearing with 180lbs on the seat. I can do just about anything I want to try

 

[the wizz]

never mind...I can't get the pic to load

BTM Wheelie Pimp, Im so glad to see someone else on a 600 doing tricks. Im one of about 3 in Charleston that does wheelies and tricks on a 600. I have people all the time say that you cant do 3rd gear wheelies on a 6. I even do 3rd gear wheelies with a passenger, like you said its just technique.

Anybody that watched BTB's video KNOWS how talented he is on one wheel, one of the best I've seen I'd say...

HOWEVER, I really need to ask what ya weigh in at BTB... I'm 6'1" 215 and I think my size would pose a few probs for ya... although judging by yer video, you'd still figure a way... (weigh?)...

Alot depends on the weight and the fact most of those tank/high chair wheelies are clutched up anyhow. So for me thinking about a high chair weighing in at 220 I don't think so. Awesome to see others but that has to be one scary wheelie.

wheelie pimp,

My 6R is stock (as of right now) and I can't ever begin to get my wheel up. It just feels like there is not near enough power.

What I'm doing is: 2nd gear, rpms to about 6-7k, then pulling in the clutch letting it rev to about 8-9k and letting it go....and nothing happens. Does body positioning help? Where should my butt be?

I'm no expert but its just going to take time/practice as everyone is different. Remember first time driving a car/motorcycle clutching? Well pulling wheelies and clutching normal is a feel thing. I had the same problem, thinking the same thing until 2 friends of mine power wheelied the thing in first no clutch. 1 guy is my size ~210 and other ~165?. Anyway try leaning your butt as far back in the seat. Also try getting the front end off the ground if you ride on some hilly backroad. Practice going up hills or if steep short hill I like to crack the throttle in 3rd ~90 and it will pop up really fast from rebound. I'm going to go up in the rear sprocket but I'm not trying to make a wheelie machine. If you really want to do wheelies probably just will have to change gearing.

Marine, I am by no means a wheelie master considering my 02 6r is the first bike i've owned in 6 years but my stock 02 has the power to pull the front tire just by power in first gear. Today I got it up to the balance point and held it for a second, got a little scary as thats the first true wheelie I have pulled in over 6 years. maybe your bike has a problem, down on power or the clutch slipping. I'd look into that especially if clutching it wont bring it up

Marine, if your your trying to clutch a wheelie, look at my video on my knology link on clutching up, it shows the speed and the the tach, so that will give you a idea of what you should be at. But every bike is differnt, on my first clutch, i had to clutch it up below 6,000 rpm and my second clutch you can see in the video is higher. It just depends on how good your clutch is.

Minytrker, I turned your 17MB AVI into a 600K MOV for you. That was a little much for six seconds.

heard the new 03 zx6r 636 comes up easily...as a matter of fact heard that, like the gixxer 750, you have to pray for it to stay down.

Gary thanks for downsizing my video. I dont remeber my password for my account and plus Im swithing cable company's next week so I never messed with it. I have hours of video but my card went out that I connected my camcorder to. I thought about just buying my own web space. What software are you using?
