bounce the front end a bit, I can do em on my 9 in third (although not as easy as on the 12) timing is the key.

These bikes are best for slow wheelies i've found. Not sure if i'm just a wimp, but the extremely steep rake and damper-free setup has me think twice about freeway wheelies!

Hammer's got it, just gotta have the timing right, although you (I) can't wheely in 3rd sitting down. No mods needed.

I used to get my 12R up in third sitting down. Although it required a big pull/bounce combo.

3rd gear try using rear peg as well on gear shifter side, im kinda lite and i use the extra leverage like duff does with the rear peg Duff you handbrakin yet? I had the handbrake setup on my 929 but im tryin to keep my 12s a streetbike *not stuf* but it just likes to hang it high to much. Buddies laugh at me around here because ill bang it off limiter in rolling coasters so they are always tellin me "bang it off the top end" But i also agree with duff that the 12 is better for higher speed while the nine is smoother for slower stuff

Guess it don`t hurt to also run like 15 PSI air pressure in that rear tire either...

I was trying to do a wheelie in my driveway and I ended up just doing rolling burnouts the whole time.
