Angry Popping a wheelie on the 07 zx6r!

I have been trying to lift the bike but cant seem to to do it. Ive been told it's because the 2007 model has no low end power. I was thinking of getting a bigger sprocket.. I know im suppose to clutch it but it doesnt work. Maybe im just not doing it right.. any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!!

This is something that a good friend, riding buddy, needs to show you in person. I mean, you could take written advice, but an experienced friend would be the best.

what's the point in poping it up. Just ride it like you stole it then. and plus you don't have to worry when it's up if it's going to come out from under you.

go down a tooth on the front sprocket that will help with wheelies, but the best way is to just go out and practice, start small and work your way up from there

Nah, wheelies are to common. Work on the stoppie first, most impressive at a stop light. What ever you decide make sure you practice in a parking lot.....and away from me. (hahaha)

hold the clutch in, rev it up to 8 or 10 grand, let go of the clutch real fast. i bet itll come up lol. start small and cover your rear brake incase you panic or it comes up to fast.
