Default some quick questions

Since i got my bike i started to do wheelies. but i want some more low end power. i have a 2001 f4i. I cant seem to get my bike up 2nd gear sittin down i can get it up staggared or stand up in 2nd tho. so heres my questions will a power commander give me enough to do this? or should i gear it down. ive thought about going down one or 2 in the front how much of a difference does this make>? And will it throw off my speedo? i plan on putting a heavy duty clutch on over the winter. will this help it hit harder when i dump it?
Thanks

Going -1/+2 is the most common (For streetbike) and will throw your speedo off about 15% but a speedoDRD or speedohealer will fix that.
You will have no problems with wheelies in 2nd like that.
A PC will not change anything noticeable

You're not doing something right. I could get my old F2 up in 2nd sitting down. Heck a buddy does it with his wife on the back!

Easier with weight on the back, so the wife is an asset.

Pretty sure my F3 will pull from second with the revs up, in stock gearing.
But, personally don't do that sort of thing, so won't swear to it.
