That is 90% of my troubles

Question

Looking for advice, I have a 05 r1 and have troubles getting it up. Common male problem I know. Anyways my bike is lowered 2" and feel like that is 90% of my troubles. I guess my question is at what speed in 1st gear do you guys usually go to clutch up? I'm trying 20-28mph and doesnt seem to have enough umph or sometimes too much and just spins the tire.

    It’s on a adjustable lowering link and I’m probably just going to raise it back to stock height and see if that solves my issue

    If you can’t wheelie a R1 in first gear u need to get a pewee 50 and practice wheelies on that. Truth.

    Drop one tooth on the front sprocket and clutch up second gear. First gear comes up too fast.

    Does anyone commenting have a lowered bike? Or are you making these comments with your stock height bikes. I bought the bike lowered and love being able to touch the ground but have considered raising it multiple times just haven’t yet haha

    I just got this last week. Its also lowered 2 inches. Not stretched. Not really the best tires and running near boston so its cold up here at night. Clutched up no issues 1st and 2nd. Once im more used to the bike ill start trying higher gears.

    My bike is stock hight I believe but i can pop it up in first no problem . If you can’t do first gears you probs shouldn’t wheelie
