Re: Not for show, for feel.        

Umm, if you have to take it up to 9K to wheelie the 250 then you should ride more.

It takes MAYBE 5-6K from stop, MAYBE 6-7K from a roll to bring it up to balance point.

...and no, that is not with "dropping" the clutch, that is will letting of "slightly quicker" than normal, and bouncing the front-end properly.

Work on bouncing the front end in low-speed at first gear, roll around, rev, let off the revs quickly so that the nose dips (and force your weight forward some), then when it comes up to rebound, let it out again and hit it. That should let you do at least little pop-ups to get yourself started.

When my clutch or chain blows up because of this method, I'll let you know, just like the 10's of thousands of other bikers that use clutching method on just about any make/model of bike. Likewise, even those who are doing power-wheelies are most likely bouncing.
