$20 says you are barely unweighting the forks
Seriously though Zach, you're riding for all the wrong reasons...
Power wheelies are one thing (although I still think your bike control is FAR from ready for that) but balancing point wheelies are asking for trouble, there is a reason stunt bikes are usually beat up. You shouldn't expect to hold a wheelie very long, unbalanced wheelies means acceleration is necessary, thus the motor is spinning up, and will redline eventually.

So if I had never ridden, walked into a dealer, bought a 1098, and then came on here and said I can't get my knee down while sliding the rear like I see the pros doing, you'd go right ahead and start explaining the art of trail braking?

Jordan i have seen you pop the front end up myself. never mind about the wheelies. im trying to learn the proper way to be a liability! just kidding, but i want to learn how to wheelie. nothing fancy just a short wheelie.
ps, power wheelie or clutch wheelie... your still doing a wheelie. some even say clutch is more predictable and controllable :thumbup

Never said I had anything against short wheelies (see avatar), I was rather specific. I said I don't think you have the bike control skills as of yet to be attempting wheelies, especially on public roads.
