until the front lifts... then hold it steady and get use to it floating....

as u get better, u will be more comfy..then u can increase the power..so as it floats up, u gradually increase revs until it gets where u want it (balance point or near)...then it comes down to throttle/brake control to keep it there...

its something u cant just explain..u have to practice..and more often than not..part of the practice is falling off...

Well i did it i went out and found a quiet road in an industrial estate and tried it over and over. At first i was getting nothin but i started accelerating harder and harder and it finally came up :D

it was only coming up maybe 5 to 6 inches each go but thats a success for me certainly something i dont want to rush.

i witnessed a z1000 do a nice little 2nd gear clutch up the other night.... ..so any1 who tells u they are not a wheelie bike, is a liar... probably helps that they have the heart of a niner!!
