you prob get the idea, but what you wanna do is the same you did in the video, then just get the clutch in and bring up the revs until you feel it engage/disengage the power so you can control how much you're feeding to the wheel/ground. same thing you do when starting off in first gear from a stop, except try rolling around 10mph or so and gauge by sound and feel the RPM's, unless you're really quick with the eyes hand coordination to actually look down and back up 
just try not to hold the revs too long against the clutch as it's a sure way to burn em up and lessen the plate life span

i'm actually kinda glad bikes didn't have this kind of power when I grew up riding as who knows how much trouble and pain it might've been for me when I was young and stupid(er)
I can be cruising along 60-70mph on my zx-10r, grab some clutch in 3rd gear and it comes up no problem at all... I just don't have the guts to try and keep it going for more than a couple feet

Hmmm. That smiley just isn't big enough. Maybe if it were painted on the side of a semi....ill have to try that when the weather is better... its raining here. thats for bringing that technique to my attention.

One thing came to mind, is our front fork suspension heavy duty enough to handle the down force at the end of a wheelie, cause it seems to me sometimes I bottom out if I hit a pot hole just right? Maybe it's just my bike, but my forks are not real heavy duty!

that bums me out man...:banghead:You tube "mikes fz6r stunting is a habit" and see the only worthwhile vid on wheelies using the 6r ..
but his level of skill is what i hope to acheive in the near future in time and practice.
Your right
It not the bike, it's the skill of the rider. His vid is awesome. Keep practicing, just wanted to show you your bike has plenty of power to do wheelies. Keep safe.
that shouldn't bum you out man, it should give you hope! :steve: just don't crash trying to do the same
When doing a wheelie you should never just drop it back down when ending a wheel, ease it down. Otherwise you'll ruin your front end. Those are the bikes that most dealers won't touch on resale, all loose goose on the column and I've seen some that are downright bent to shit.
:disapprove:
Darn. It's a shame he's not able to balance the bike. LOL. That's nuts. It's BMX meets street bike. Back when I was doing graphic design the departmental secretary said I had "Mad Skillz." Not really. I was just good. THAT dude, has Mad Skillz!
