This is a question Failed Projects

You start off with the best of intentions, but through raging incompetence, ineptitude or the plain fact that you're working in IT, things go terribly wrong and there's hell to pay. Tell us about the epic failures that have brought big ideas to their knees. Or just blame someone else.

I've got a Bandit 600 too
and I can't make it wheely at all. Might be because I'm 200+ pounds not including the leather and armour.
I did get me knee down once but unfortunately it was followed shortly afterwards by my elbow, hip and head.

You ain't
doing it right.

I had a Thundercat, I weigh more than you, first gear power wheelies were a piece o' piss.

Bandit 600 might - just - come up on the power, in 1st gear. Get it to your powerband, let off the throttle, straight back on, and feel the front at least go light.

Anyway, only way you'll get a proper wheelie out is clutching it up. Honestly I won't do a good job of explaining it, so watch a few Youtube videos. It's scary as fuck, but you get the hang of it.

They pop up too easy
I had a Bandit 600. In teal, the best colour there is.

The front wheel comes up very easy in first and then holds up for ages if you kick it up to second.

I then sold it and got a CBR. This is the way forward.

Hmm
Are you clutching or trying off the power?

You can get damn near everything up on the clutch, from 50cc bikes up to Rocket IIIs and Goldwings.
