Stock can be wheelied, in 1st, and 2nd if your hard on the clutch.
Rev it a little, and basically pop the clutch in a bit of a controlled way.
In second gear you try doing the same thing, there is a bit of a sweet spot between how fast you are going in 1st, and the amount you rev and dump it.

If you're practicing wheelies to be able to get over rocks and logs, then you need to get lower gearing. Either a smaller countershaft sprocket or a larger rear chainwheel or both. I run a 13T/51T setup, and for agressive off-road riding, that's what works best for me. You also need more power, but that's another story. If you want to practice wheelies for street riding. . . . DON'T. It's illegal, it's stupid and it really hurts when you go over backwards on blacktop! Just my 2 cents. . . .

Any bike can wheelie, just rev it up and dump the clutch. Start small at first, otherwise you will find yourself on the ground along with your bike.

I've seen the pros do it, and it's all about rocking your weight back and forth and popping the forks as you pull the bars and gas it.
Even on a stock motor, with the right body english it comes up effortlessly.

(not saying that I can do it, but it looks effortless when done right).
