If you are stunting you can lower it but stuntin refers to somebody who knows what they're doing haha. If you want to START doing wheelies, then you just need to get out there and practice, there's nothing that will just make you do it. Lower tire pressure helps for low speed wheelies. The only way you can do homework is to go out and spank the throttle a few times.....the best advice one can give when it comes to doing wheelies is to cover that rear brake.

Negative ^ Lowering your air pressure will make the bike more stable in a wheelie. I'd do 20 lbs if I were trying to learn how to wheelie. Don't ride around like that for long however, I usually keep mine around 30-32.
And Vermino since when did you learn how to clutch it up? Hahah
Everything else people are saying is correct, most likely you're trying to do it before your tires are warmed up. In this weather, it's especially hard to get them warmed up unless you're in FL or something.

Also, you can ride 20psi for as long as you want, it will cause premature wear but if all you do is parking lot stunting 20psi is perfect. This guy is learning to wheelie so, again, i say keep your tire pressure standard and just work on getting that front end up for now.

First of all i never said that it wouldn't make the bike more stable. I was stating that the only way for this guy to learn how to wheelie is to GO OUT AND DO IT! The tire pressure isn't gonna teach him how to wheelie. Yeah it makes the bike more stable at low speeds, but so does throttle control and rear brake control (both of which are MUCH more important to learn before you adjust tire pressure). So, if you want good advice, here it is. TIRE PRESSURE WILL NOT TEACH YOU HOW TO WHEELIE! No matter what camaro boy says.
