sounds good plan on getting a cage rather then just the sliders, the cage may cost more but it looks badass, and yes i have seen some videos about how to do it but im still not sure how my 600 will react when u pop the clutch and give it gas at the same time, so still learning where things r at, and i plan on trying some wheelies on my buddies dirt bike

+1 on growing *****.
I saw one video of a guy who used his bikes shocks to help pop the front up. he'd push down on it then pull up hard while giving it gas. like we used to do when we were kids. could give that a shot as well. just be sure you're in an empty parking lot rather than a city street.

Don't waste your time trying to power wheelie a 600. And compressing the suspension and trying to bounce it up is less controllable than learning to do it right and clutch it up. When people are first learning to clutch it up, they tend to want to watch the gauge cluster, this will only make learning much more difficult. Listen to the motor and your ears will learn what RPM is best, it may be a little un-nerving but it will in the end make things much smoother. Get out there, take your time, grow a pair and things will work out.

idk about konaman, but my f4i will power wheelie in first all day long pretty easily without bouncing the suspension. its how i learned to get over the natural instinct of leaning foward when the bike comes up, got decent at that, then moved to standups on the foot pegs, then standups on the back pegs. 2nd gear clutch ups at about 45ish is my ideal spot to play. and about your fear of looping, a tap of the rear brake while your up will eliminate the looping instantly, however unless you roll on the throttle coming back down your going to see what tank slap is and possibly wreck, but at least that way you have a chance to save it vs a loop where your just screwed no matter what

At first it will just jump forward and not lift up but just graduately give it more throttle every time and it will come up no problems.
Just learn at your own pace.
