i usually do this in first gear , its a bit harder in second without help from the clutch
im rolling around 7k rpms then gun it to about 11k let off , and then snap the throttle and pull back on the bars.. works for me
standing up, slipping the clutch, and pulling up on the bars in first gear is asking to flip. I would suggest you not do that anymore.
When i do second gear standups, I'm usually going between 35-45 MPH. It's almost the same as a first gear sit down, as far as clutching. In first, I just slip the clutch slightly, in second gear standing up, I hold the clutch in for a split hair second longer, to get the rpms a little higher. Bike comes up enough to where you can adjust your riding point with the throttle. ie, more throttle, closer to 12, less throttle, closer to the ground, etc...
when i do my first gear wheelies, i pretty much come to a stop and then clutch it...i like them to be about 10-15mph....
for second gear, i stand staggered, going about 30-35, pull in the clutch and rev it up just about to rev limiter and then release the clutch.....comes up to BP fast and thats how i like it.....

why clutch it to get it to stand up? i just run to about 9,000rpm in second gear floor it and jank on handle bars at the same time to get it to stand up easy.
Clutchin it up is more consistent and shoots up faster to the bp. Using the throttle to chase it up is way more dangerous plus if you have smooth throttle you wont get any headshake
Me, too, R6. I prefer to get ready, so i pull the clutch all the way in, coast to the MPH that i want, then rev and dump. It seems more consistent to me since i have control over the speed and revs that i want.
I would think that would give you more consistancy and more control, but it's gotta be HELL on your tranny. I'm trying to do the least painful wheelie for my tranny. That's why I stuck to just the power wheelie in first, but I gotta get somethin down for the highway. Girls keep doin the "lift up the arm" thing on the highway, but I can't do a 60mph wheelie, so it makes me feel small inside.
