well, GET THE DTC OFF !!! LOL

It's all about combining the right *pop* of the forks and the correct dose of throttle and getting the balance point, so that you're not accelerating anymore , as you can see on my video. As i said to someone else, it's like going for a snowboard/ski jump, if you don't pop, it won't jump....
My best advice overall is to begin practice on a motocross bike, preferably on a 4-stroke 450cc , which is torquy and easy to wheelie. If you can do it on a motocross bike and keep em up for a kilometer or so, then it will be easy on the S1K. The road bike is a LOT more stable obviously.
But to begin practicing on a sport bike ? WTF . You -will- crash and/or hurt yourself 75% probability....and destroy the bike.

But the greatest tips are here ;

Stage 1;
-Good quality, well balanced tires (worn tires;forget it)
-Good fork and suspension setup (important)
-Don't be afraid, cause if you are, it's not fun and it'll be harder to learn.
-Start lifting the front using the clutch while keeping throttle on.
-NO 1st gear wheelies (important)
-Good body positionning


stage 2;
-stand-up wheelies (more control and visibility than sit-down)
-Start to use only throttle and pop the fork (COMBINED CORRECTLY)
-2nd or even better ; 3rd gear wheelies (the faster, the more its stable)



stage 3;
-balance point (130kmh, 3rd gear, steady throttle)
-ohlins steering damper
-Practice, practice, practice
