I know some of you do this (many have for more years in the saddle as well), so I want to ask before I go thrashing my clutch; if you don't there's nothing to see here. What RPMs are you gents getting up to as you slip in the clutch? I've only really done roll-ons with my bikes and I'm getting that itch again.
 
Actually have no idea what your asking here man? And if you are talking upshifts, ZERO clutch! Use the Quickshifter for every gear change on way up.
 
Wheelies Gunny! Wheelies. I don't do clutch up, but on any bike you want to start at or just below your max torque curve. Which on this bike is at 8,000 rpm. So I would probably start at 6 and just give it a little bit of clutch blip and do the wheelie hop til you figure out which rpm is best of course. Hope this helps! I've only done clutch up a couple times on this. Don't forget to turn your TC off of course! A lot of people forget about it.
 
Snap at about 7k in second no clutch about 60mph. I have tc at 5 in 195 lo and just laugh when it comes up!
 
There is no real answer. If you know how to clutch up a wheelie, you can do it in almost any rpm range. It all comes down to your current speed/rpms. Heres a hint, just grab the clutch and more throttle and let it fly. Warning...hold on tight.
 
i like clutching around 4 1/2 - 5 low then hold it around 6-7 bike has enough torq to lift up. the higher the revs the more possibilities of OOPPS over!!
 
Just thinking that this might not be the bike to practice clutching up on.... Perhaps a cheapo 600 maybe ? If you want to practice wheelies...

Opinions, I don't happen to have a 600. It's all in managing the controls. I wouldn't mind a stunt bike, I check craigslist often.

Then don't post in here if you dislike. How often do you get to a track with your superbike? And to be honest, if you've ever power wheelied during an elevation change on a track, if you don't know what you're doing you'd chop the throttle and kill your time and possibly lose control.

OK... Well all I will say is power wheeling over the brow of a hill when wot on the track is different from what you are asking... If you are asking how to control a bike in that circumstance then I would suggest you didn't phrase your question as intended...:)..
I am referring to deliberate power wheelies on the street... Seems like that was what you were asking.....If not then my bad....:eek:
