Ummm first gear should be no problems. But learning to use the clutch to pop it up is a lot smoother and safer.I have a 650, but i will look at that
whats a good speed to 'pop' it?Ummm first gear should be no problems. But learning to use the clutch to pop it up is a lot smoother and safer.
Changing the gearing will help heaps as well!

Have you done this on a 250 Met? I've never been able to do this on mine...you want to learn how to handle the feeling of the front coming up first. Dont try and clutch it if you cant power wheelie because it ends up in flip city!
First find a car park, and literally just go up and down the car park in first gear, lean back and power on WOT, the front should go light, get used to that.
Then when you want to clutch it, roll at about 10mph, clutch in, build to about 9000rpm and slip the clutch quickly, (dont dump it though you need some control).
get used to it, dont try and hold it the first time you clutch it up or youll end up crashing, just up, down, up, down, until you feel comfortable to try and hold it.
Try clutching in 1st and 2nd, you might find you have a little extra smoothness in 2nd than 1st.
