Gearing down or bouncing are you two options. Do a search on this forum, there's another discussion on wheelies goin on right now that may tell you what you need.

-1 in the front sprocket and +2 in the back makes you wheelie a lot easier and still be able to use your stock chain.

How does that change the overall performance of your bike? Does it affect the top end much? How much does that cost and can I do it myself?

thanks does it make a big difference in lower RPM in second gear.? the second gear wheelies are so much more fun.

It ( -1/+2) will allow the bike to accel faster, lower top end speed a little, and throw the speedo off. Some say that's the best mode to do to the bike. I've test ridden a couple different gear combos and still like stock the best. If you can turn wrenches you can do it yourself + air tools. Cost don't remember, maybe $100 for both gears to do it yourself. Don't quote me on that.

Look at vortex sprockets. You could prolly get the front for 25 and rear for 75... so 100.

If you're new to riding going to a 1000 probably is not a good idea, it's a lotta bike. Just practice like me. I've been practicing my wheelies about a month now and I've noticed that I've gotten more consistant.

You dont need a 1000 to wheelie you can ride 600s for miles. I can tell by your attitude your going to end up killing your bike. You cant rush a wheelie learning process just cause you want to show off. The only way to get it up in 2nd without the clutch and to bounce and chop the throttle at like 9k rpms. Why not use the clutch though you can start off going slower and get to the balance point way faster which means longer wheelies
Yeah, start slow. Even though I practiced wheelies for 1/2 year. I still flipped the RR trying to do 1st gear stand ups.
btw, if you don't know how to do stunts on a 600 at slow speeds, if you get a 1000 and jump right in. You'll kill yourself and the bike. Then people like me will buy your wrecked bikes to fix them up or part them out. Do yourself a favor and quit while your alive. Motorcycles demand respect, if you don't give it or show it to the bike, the bike will throw you off just like a horse.
God knows I don't need another project bike.
