finally got my regular 1st gear wheelies down, i cant keep them up too long... im just not use to it yet i guess.. but i assume its harder to keep it up in first because its so torquey ... will the bike go up in 2nd just snapping it?
is the key to keeping them up just keeping the trottle steady? should i try it in second ?

i have a k5 600
thanks

stick to first .. until u ride it a little longer. second gear is a little easier because its not as tourqey as first but u'll going a lot faster in second. so think about that first. get use to the first gear. i doubt the 600 will snap right up in second. u can bounce it or clutch it. but leave that til later on until u got the wheelies down.

once you get a handle on the 1st gear power ups, learn how to clutch it, just make sure you start real small so you dont loop it, same idea as the power ups. after your good at clutching it up in 1st then move on to 2nd with practice you should be able to clutch it up in 2nd from a decent speed not sure on that bike, but you wont have to go 80 or anything.
