hey, i also have a 929 and an f2. They are both stuntbikes but my f2 is a parking lot only bike. I am 20 up on the rear sprocket, but i learned with stock gearing, so yes the f2 can wheelie just as good as any other bike. Learn to use the clutch and it will all come to you after that, just start small and BE CAREFUL!! oh yeah, keep the back brake covered too.

To wheelie my F2 (one tooth down on the front sprocket, plus the usual power bolt-ons), I accelerate briskly (but not fast) from a stop in first gear. When I get to about 7000rpm, I just roll on the throttle hard. I don't quite snap it wide open, but close. As the front end starts coming up, I back off the throttle a bit so I don't loop the bike and then when I've got the front wheel up as high as I want, I just modulate the throttle to keep it there until I am about at redline, and which I reduce the throttle to bring it back down as gently as possible and then shift to second.

This takes practice and getting a feel for the bike. There are times I've tried to wheelie my 1000 in first and just gotten on it at the wrong point and not gotten much air. And if I've been riding my 1000 around for several days and get back into practice with wheelies on it, I feel like I have to relearn how to do wheelies on the F2. And vice versa.

first gear ups are somewhat easy. just bounch the forks a little and lift while letting off and then grabbing the throttle. i havent had it up so high and fast that i felt out of control. second gear is the same thing. im not sure how high you need to get the rpm's, but just lean back quick and pull back while giving it some throttle. after playing with it a little, youll see what works best for you
