What type of suspension set up would make it easier to bring the front up. I think my bike might be set up for a really stiff back end right now. I can pretty much jump on the tail section and it stays stiff

More throttle....jk
 
Seriously,
I aint no wheelie king but I do tend to ride on the rear more than on two...and I changed my rear suspension to a fully adjustable ohlins on my 06'1000rr and it really didnt make any differences to my wheelies... but the -1 sprocket on the front did.....I might be wrong but if U just wanna do easier wheelies I would just do the sprocket change...The only reason I changed my rear suspension is that I am really light and the stock one was set for a heavier person..

    sell your honda to a track rider and get a suzuki

seriously though, suspension wont really help you. go for a 15T front sprocket and about a 45 tooth rear

then you can wheelie all you want

    try setting the sag on the rear
the preload may be dialed up too much for some reason or another

if i am not mistaken you should have about 25mm of rear sag if you get less than that you are too stiff

any more than that and the rear is actually too loose.

if your sag is good then your compression is dialed in too hard

mine i gues according to what u all said is very loose then cuz i can get my rear end pushed down more than 25 mm just with a simple push with my hand .. how can i make it stiffer do i just turn that lilltle screw to "H" position more or does it need somthing else..?

    oh god no
it should be 25mm from the full up position ie off the rear tire with the shock fully extended to the riding sitting on it
