Believe it or not, my problem was the position of my hand/wrist on the throttle (keep in mind, when I say wrist position, I mean as taught in the Motorcycle safety course, pretty much straight). When I first started trying wheelies, I would be in 1st gear, go up to about 8K on the RPM's, let off the gas and then immediately crack back on the throttle. Now because my wrist was straight when I started off, the crack back back on the throttle wasn't enough because my wrist was almost at 90 degrees and I wasn't getting WOT. So, when I do a wheelie NOW, I grip the throttle in such a manner that when I crack back on the throttle, I'm at wide open throttle. So my wrist is sort of rolled over? It's hard to explain, but trust me, the first time I did it the front end shot up so fast I almost pooped. I'm still not good at wheelies, but I get the wheel up everytime now. At this point, it's a matter of trying to get comfortable enough to ride it out a while. BTW, I'm 5'11" and way 180 lbs, I don't sit back on the seat either, just normal riding posture. I don't know if what I just typed makes any sense to anyone, but maybe someone can use the info.
