You're doing it on the CBR1000?

Yessir.

I haven't been able to locate the throttle on my DRZ properly to have this happen yet.

I wish i could offer advice, but my 600 doesn't do that shit. Do you do any racing or just track days here and there?

I used to do track days years ago. I have have spent more time riding [what some will call] recklessly on the street than anything else.

Cali, huh? Been out to Magic Mountain in Palm Springs once. Loved it! We're gonna be making a trip up to Palomar or somewhere else Spring next year.

It happens to me once in a while, but nothing too regular. I find it doesn't affect my line too much, unless I don't realize the tire's floating and it comes back down and surprises me. Definitely a cool feeling though.

What kind of notes you looking for? I suspect you're not looking for advice to keep the front wheel on the ground.

Ok I'm almost afraid to answer as this could be some kind of trap but....

I'm not sure if you are asking for advice on how to do it more or how to stop doing it? My bike wheelies out of corners all the time but I "lessened" the effect by raising my rear and lowering my front. You can also take it down some by changing the preload on your shock. Of course,you could exit corners in a higher gear and/or enter the corner faster and be smoother with your throttle at the apex. I also had my bike custom tuned to take some of the initial hit/spike away between 2000 and 5000 rpm to lessen wheelspin and unintended wheelies (plus low/highsides). Oh and check your rear tire pressure as an underinflated tire increases your footprint/traction and can lead to these kind of problems. Try to get more of your body weight to the front of your bike as you exit the corner. Try dropping a couple teeth on your rear sprocket,it'll move your peak torque AND will slightly lengthen your wheelbase. I'll try to think of more ideas for you!

I hate it when you don't realize the front's up. It happens on my R6 when I take off in 1st from a start or a slow rolling start.
