Can anyone get their 02 R1 up in third?

First and second are a breeze but I can't get it up in third. Am I doing something wrong? Got 1500 miles on it and can wheelie second to third but I want it to come up in third w/o clutch is it possible? I read its possible in third and fourth on the R1????? Help

I've gotten it up in 3rd a couple of times but 120+ mph on one wheel is pretty frickin fast. Be careful and good luck trying!!!!!!!!!! :D

I've gotten it up in third in a stand up position getting off the gas and getting back on and pulling up. that is the only way i can do it, definetly not sitting down

1,2,3,4,5, with 17/42 combo... my is blown..:eek:

I did it before I got the devil slip on . But I have'nt tried it with the devil on . My 01 bike changed after I put on the akra so I won't know for eight weeks . Surgery in 6hours.

:hellobye My 99 can:D. And if you lend me you 02 I will teach it how, as well as 4th:cool: LOL J/K:thumbup

i got mine up while sitting down; what you have to do is first set back on the seat-----get to 3rd ---run the tack up to about 6.5 to 8 grand ---then off and on gas, but when you get on the gas give the bars a nice pull----and up she comes. i would not tug on the bars real hard the first time--do it a couple of time first to get used to it coming up at such a high speed. PLEASE BE CAREFUL

It came up on me around 125mph. The feeling is like no other.

the 2002 shouldn't be much different than the 2001. at about 80, stand up, one bounce and up it comes. no jet kit pipe, nothing. As stock as it comes at 80 with no problem.

I THINK IN DETROIT BIKES COME UP MUCH NICER THAN THE OTHER 49 STATES. NO JOKE. IT MUST BE THE GAS UP THERE. MY FRIEND HAD A EX500 AND COULD NOT GET THAT TANK UP, BUT WHEN HE MOVED TO DETRIOT AREA HE CAN GET IT UP IN 2ND

I can get my R6 up in 3rd without the clutch. You have to bounce it, but it comes up real easy. It's even easier on my R1, no bounce needed! :rock

Mine comes up in 3rd @ 6500, just sit back, take as much weight as possible off the bars (don't pull!) open at low revs say 4000. If rear susp. is set soft, its even easier.

I just started doing them on the 02'. In 3rd at about 6500 rpm, pump the handle bars,fan the clutch a little, give some gas. Itll come up. The bike is at 70mph when you start which is cool because you can pull it up easy on the hiway.:)

3rd gear standups are easy but be careful-on my 02, i bounce her up in third at about 80-she comes up kinda slow then when the exup valve kicks in , she'll stand up quick-you need to have a real sensitive throttle hand-work on manipulating the throttle when you get to the balance point and you should have no problem holding it out for a while-i can ride them out long enough where the front wheel stops spinning but thats bad because you lose that gyro effect and since the R1 is so light, she'll start dancing.This is where I'll lock my knees when I stand up to keep her steady--works great. I have 3,600 miles on my '02 and I don;t have a steering dampener. If your a good rider-you don't need one-besides they only damp out minor vibrations-no way they can stop a tank slapper....peace out....:cool:

Or u could just install a turbo on your R1 and it will get erect in 6th, over 140 mph.

chech out my thread "why you need a damnper"

man, this one hasn't been hit in a while (this thread), but I finally was messing around trying 3rd gear standups this last weekend and finally got a couple at this Denver altitude. pretty cool feeling going over 100 in a wheelie. I was pulling them up at about 85-90

i can bring it up in 3rd at about 70-80 with no clutch just bouncing pretty easy, and i'm a scrawny bastard at only 145 lbs. :lol

If your just learing or trying 3rd gear wheelies get a damper. This will help for "JUST IN CASE" issues that may come up when bringing the front wheel down. Marc

Marc i would say if you are doing any high speed wheelies get one........i just started bouncing 3rd the other day used to just be 2nd and i have had an ohlins damper all along

I can bounce it up in 4th standing up. I get up to around 7000rpm and bounce it up. It comes up nice and easy to. I did go +2 in the rear so that probably helps a little. But I'm sure it's possible with stock gearing.

Help Hell yeah,2nd, 3rd, 4th and bounce it hard in 5th and shell come up. Stand-up or sit down? Cuz the R1 will do both, I prefer to stand ups for 3rd and higher, just use the on/off throttle method lean back slightly and when you get back on the throttle just give it a little tug, itll come right up but you'll have to practice this :owwn3d

i can do it either clutchin' it up or roll on, you gotta have your RPMS right when rollin' on!

i can bounce it up in 5th, course im running around 130 mph, 3rd is easy around 80 or 90 mph, just give her a bounce and when the suspension release, give her gass. wOOt

Stand-up wheelie w/ bounce, yes can get it up no problem in 3rd with no clutch.

I can power my bike up in the first 4 gears no problem. if you have a spare $7G's laying around(See Sweedie's thread about the Stroker Kit. I have one and a few other things done), I will tell you what to do to your engine and you will not be able to keep the front end down. By the way, buy a damper yesterday.....

bwalker, what all does a stroker kit include?

I will give you a quick breakdown of what all I did to mine. Graves Stroker Kit, High Compression Pistons, Milled Head, Intake cam shafts, Velocity Stacks, Graves Ram Air, Exhaust, PCIIIR, and a really cool sticker that says "GSXR's are like G-Spots, Every Pussy I know has one." Everything at the sticker can be bought here: http://www.gravesport.com/engine_yamahaR1.html I would try to get it from Spidermanss though if you are going to do it. he will probably help you out a little on the price. After all said and done though, I put over 180 to the ground. For the same cost, trade in your bike, buy an 04, and start fresh there. Same power (almost) with a few bolt ons, and a waranty. PM me if you have any other questions, I do not usually like to advertise How much I spent on a bike I will never be able to ride to its potential..

3rd gear is the most comfortable for me

3rd gear @ 140 Km/h (85 mph) reving about 6000-6500rpm. Gotta give a pull on the bars or just stand up, but no probs in that dept...:no :riding I have stock gearing, full Hindle system, faster blue color... I think its the blue... :yesnod :bow :lol

I can get it up in 3rd during a stand-up, had it up in 4th a few times but it is way too fast for me. Even though I have a 520 with 3 up in the back I could still bring up third with stock chain and sprockets - it just took more finesse. For those of you trying to bring it up in any gear higher than second beware. I say this because when the wheel starts to come up it will do so slowly at first then suddenly shoot up - will probably freak you out at first but you will get used to it. I assume the reason for the sudden movement upward is due to the speed and the rush of air helping bring the front end up at those speeds. Good luck.

Especially on gusty days!

Help I am serious as a heart attack when I tell you I can get my slower 01 R1 up in any gear YES THAT MEANS 6TH. I can only get it to come up in a sit down wheelie in 2nd but stand ups in any gear. The trick is all in the RPM's and preloading the front suspension. Them 6th gear standups are crazy fun tho cause the RPM's have to be in the 7000 to 9000 range to get it up and thats like 140 MPH:rock

give her a tug in 4th and she will rise like nothing

Holy crap - bring this back from the dead :lol I know for a fact 02R1guy learned to do them since he originally posted :lol

What do you guys mean when you say "bounce it up" do you stand up and bounce the rear suspension or bounce the front or both ?? I have an 02 on std gearing and have this weekend done a few 3rd gear sit downs bringing it up at about 80 but it feels weird as others have said it comes up slow and then all of a sudden pops up into the wheelie position quite quickly, I want to do stand ups but every time I stand up into the wheelie (2nd gear ) it comes back down after climbing to the dizzy height of about 6 inches.........

I would really stay away from 2nd gear standups unless your very comfortable with your bike and ability. When I say "bounce", I mean on the pegs (which preloads the back and front) and hit the gas which causes the front to react like a spring board in helping it to come up.

Now I just can't stop. :lol Mike

Thank god for my ohlins damper, I popped a 3rd gear mono the other evening and put it down when the limiter cut in at 11k rpm (whatever that speed is) as it landed the front went in to the start of a slapper but the damper kept it in shape with nothing more than a wobble but it was enough of a "wobble"at that speed to freak me out a little, certainly got the heart going.

3rd gear is fast i pick them up at 70 you have to snap the clutch hard at 7000rpm be careful make sure your good with the back brake.

I don't know how much of a difference there is between the 03 and 02 but I can get the 03 up in 4th easily. just get in third at about 8000 rpms bounce the front end a little and gas it it'll come up
