Well it's a start but your not even close to the balance point. Keep practicing until you get the feeling your about to go over and that's it. Oh and do keep the brake covered! It is a good idea.

first off, good job! clutching your wheelies means you can pull probably get them up in 3rd with the help of a hump in the road, same in the woods...
one thing that no one said, maybe its just me, but i try not to "blip" the throttle when i wheelie. The more steady you are, the more steady the ride is going to be and the front end wont dip up and down so much... but thats just me, and i'm no expert, but i can ride on my balance point for a short while.... oh and if you practice them going up hills its much easier and more comfortable to find your balance point.
and when i shift from gear to gear i usally just let off the throttle a little bit and just power shift up w/ no clutch.... anyone else do that, or am i just weird? 13k on the stock clutch been doing it the whole time. (sold that bike, but i ride with the guy that bought it)

Blipping the throttle, hehe when I was small, one guy said to blip the throttle everytime I wheelie and after that I just cant seem to stop blipping lol.. I really need to try though..
Thank you so much for the pointers!!!!
