Hey, speaking of aggressive riding...
I'm having trouble getting a 2nd gear wheelie on my 06 xb9r. Ive tried throttle only, feathering the clutch, leaning back a little.. What gives? Is this normal? I only weigh 135-140lbs.
 
I have a xb12r and weigh 210 and can wheelie in second with little effort. In second around 40 mph's at about 3000 to 4000 rpm slip the clutch it should come up. I would start slow and practice doing some role-on wheelies before progressing to slipping the clutch throttle control is important. Also when slipping the clutch start easy and gradually build the rpm's until it lifts like you want it to. There are some good videos on google instructing how to do wheelies.
