naa, i was thinking about it, and it dosent seem that the shifting position would be wack. but i do think that shifting while doing a wheelie is going to be very, very dangerous.
wow, i got it up. :)
man, i was riding down my street in first gear, decided to twist the throttle, well, the front end came up (6-7rpm) and wow, i put it right back down, the bike was just coming up easy, verry easy. i decided to put the bike back in the garage since my nervs started getting tense.

its not really that bad as you think....
as soon as the the front gets mid way up...back off the throttle gently and dont use the clutch just use your shifter to upshift and get right back on the throttle to bring the wheel back up...once in 2nd you can ride it for much longer than 1st.

Don't do anything you don't feel comfortable trying.:2cents:slam150 said:naa, i was thinking about it, and it dosent seem that the shifting position would be wack. but i do think that shifting while doing a wheelie is going to be very, very dangerous.
well, thats the thing with these new 05 kawi ninjas. they dont seem to be able to shift with out pulling the clutch in at least a little bit.
ahhh that sucks. My SV was kinda hard to shift when I had the front end up, but after a while it got easier.slam150 said:well, thats the thing with these new 05 kawi ninjas. they dont seem to be able to shift with out pulling the clutch in at least a little bit.
Your just not at the right RPM when your trying to shift. Up shifts can be done smoothly and clutchless if you do it right. I don't recommend trying down shifts although it can be done also. Its hard on the tranny.slam150 said:well, thats the thing with these new 05 kawi ninjas. they dont seem to be able to shift with out pulling the clutch in at least a little bit.
so the rpm's have to be high and the shift can be done with out the clutch? it dosent seem to work on my bike, and i got the rpm up to 9k and still couldnt shift with out the clutch.
It works on all bikes...you just got to find the sweet spot!slam150 said:so the rpm's have to be high and the shift can be done with out the clutch? it dosent seem to work on my bike, and i got the rpm up to 9k and still couldnt shift with out the clutch.
Its not something that is easy to explain.
You have to match the RPM with the speed while giving just enough throttle to carry through into the next gear.
It doesn't matter if your going slow or fast. If you do it right. The shifts will be smooth. I know it can be done on your bike. I see it done smoothly by a veteran rider on a regular basis.

Every rider will figure it out with expierence!
OK, figured it out, did it right, know how to shift with out clutch now.
