that being said, anyone that wheelies a lot will tell you that clutch wheelies are the way to go. practice them and get comfortable and you'll be able to wheelie just about any bike out there. power wheelies are garbage because you need to be at the right spot in the powerband to do them, and if you get them up high at all you'll probably be out of rpms to work with.

Clutch wheelies are nice because once you get used to them theyre more predictable, you can do them at just about any rpm, and when you get good at them you need much less space.
only drawback is you might need new clutch soon.
