How did you do it Zim? Was it a cluctch up in 2nd then change into 3rd?

And the VTR riding pop-in-law wants to know how you change gear wiht the wheel in the air.

It takes a lot more practice to use clutchless shifting on a storm. To start with zimm was getting it up in [edit]first [/edit] then using the clutch to get it into second.
Think he's clutchless shifting after clutching it up in 2nd now.

oops

[Zimma]

Right, Zimma to the rescue

that was a clutched up second gear wheelie, that stayed in second for the whole strip
Normally I get it up in first and change to second and third (have done fourth before)
I think I use three fingers on the clutch for getting it up? I'll get back to you on that as I don't really pay much attention to my fingers
Now the main bit, to change gear, as you are about to hit the limiter pull the clutch kick the gear and put the throttle back on.... bet you thought it was gonna be harder than that
Thats the way I do it all the time, I never do clutchless shifts for some reason, I think it's just habit of pulling the clutch.
Dunno about you but on the storm I don't use full throttle to keep the bike up in any gear, so when you change gear make sure you dont pull the throttle all the way back on, else you will end up falling off the back as it comes up higher.

Any more questions?

Chers,
I KNEW it was second, !! I need to practice balance methinks, I can only get about 30 yards, then it either threatens to over the back, or comes down again, I dont have a problem getting it up, just changing gear,
(goes to find dry road to play on)

cos ive had if up a few times but always off the mark, where i just assumed i was reving to high and letting the clutch go to fast

On the 6, hover at about 10k in first and crack the throttle all the way, the front should lift up easily. After youve cracked it open make sure you shut the throttle to 3/4 while it's lifting, or it may threaten to toss you off the back. 3/4 throttle should be enough to hold you up at the balance point

Once you get used to it you can back off and pull it on at about 7k, which means you're starting slower and have more power to 'use up' balancing it etc.

On any bike I've found if you compress the forks slightly (kinda half jump down on the foot pegs, you can do this while still sitting) then pull the poer on it also helps. This has the same effect as tapping the brake.
