Hey david.....so i ride a f2 as well...and it takes lots of practice to even keep up the wheel for any time on these bikes. i rode my buddies 929 and could ride one for way over a block..but on my bike its a different story. what i did to learn was just go into a parking lot and practice. im assuming our bikes a practically the same mechanically. what i have to do is rev it up to around 4500 to 5000 rpm in frist gear...and pop the cluctch...and then just very slightly ease of the throttle as it comes to the balance point.....i cannot shift into second in a wheelie yet BUT the guy i bought it from could ride one through first and second on my bike....so i think it just takes lots of practice on these bikes...you may want to consider getting a sprocket kit..thats my next upgrade. i beleive a 520 conversion is pretty decent for more torque but not sacraficing all your top speed. i think vortex makes a pretty good one, correct me if im wrong, any way yea just practice...tnanks!

520 conversion is for weight savings... just lighter chain and sprockets

Gotta change the size of the sprockets

i have a 5 up sprocket and the front will come up very easily...and i would not use the pop the clutch method to get the feel for being in the air...quickest way to land on your back....when you leave from a stop let the throttle roll forward just a hair to drop the rpm's down then roll back on it really quick and the bike will rev back up and just come up....this won't be great for long distance wheelies but will get you used to the feeling of coming up and still having some control
