I've been tryin to stand my R6 up for a walk, but i've been having trouble getting it up in anything but 1st. I can pop it up in second, but need really high rpms. advice?
you should be able to do it in first with just twisting the throttle and leaning back and the usual but to get up in second on a 600 i would say lower the front sprocket and raise the back,i did it to my gixxer and its alittle crazy at first but i got used to it and now we tear sh*t up
As a fellow R6 rider and wheelie guy , I'll help you out. I had the same problem when I first started riding. The R6 is not the best wheelie bike out there because it's peeky and very short. Here goes: Second gear is much better for gettin' it up ( I think so at least) so you'll need to bounce it or clutch it up. In second from a low RPM , hit the gas hard and with one finger (adjust your clutch if need be) pop the clutch in and out like you're pulling a trigger.Keep the throttle open and it'll come up quick. It's really easy once you figure it out. Try it going slow for a while and after some practice you'll be on LVX ! Any questions?
