Is it the bike or me! HOW TO WHEELIE
So I have stock gearing 16 front 46 rear 525 chain. And its straight piped. I bough it to start practicing how to wheelie! Here is the thing, I rev it to 6-7 grand rpms and pop the clutch. The bike does not want to go up. I feel like at that rpms it should pop up! I sit as far back as possible. It just wants to shoot straight instead of come up. So could it be because it is straight piped and never was tuned after words possibly? I dont no if it did or didnt get tuned or even if you need to do that if you went straight piped!? Or is it me not knowing how to wheelie? But 6 to 7 thousand rpms seems like the tire should at least lift off the ground! P.s. I just bought this bike!! I dont know much I'm just starting to learn how to whellie. I have been riding for 3 years now and want to stunt!

I don't do wheelies but had no problem getting the front end light under hard acceleration. Since I went to a -1 front sprocket, the front end will get light very easily so you might consider doing that... although if I had done a bit more research prior, I'd probably have gone with more teeth on the rear sprocket instead (gives better wear characteristics).
Also, check out YT or a stunting forum for plenty of wheelie tutorials. There are a few that are F4i specific...
