Either get a bigger rear sprocket or a smaller front for more torque, but a loss of top speed. If you havent already, get a afermarket air filter, get a breather kit for your head, and maybe a new chain. If your bike is a few months old just you will be surprised how much more torque and top speed you will get with a new chain and sprockets. You may also want to get it jetted right.

get a light bore kit (75 or 88cc), keep everything else stock just need to adjust the carb. you'll have boatloads of torque, enough to bring up wheelies w/ one hand. getting some street tires will make for a much smoother ride, i got a pait of cheng shins for $25 shipped, and they still do good in the dirt too (but suck in mud).

tires are not going to make it any better for you left to right problem when you pull it up.thats all in your balance or how you were set up when the front tire came off the ground unless you are on uneven ground(dirt,grass)it just takes more practice.

the tires are cheng shins. get'em from the stuntlife store or www.motorhelmets.com (cheaper there).

the bore kit's i'd recommend are kitaco or takegawa 75, 81 or 88cc (i have a takegawa 88 s-stage), cam is not necessary for stuntin but kitaco cam is better for torque. oh yeah, my bore kit cost $270.

and try lowering the rear tire pressure just a little bit. when you bounce real hard on the rear you don't want the tire to compress more than half way, but close. that was the trick for me to learn wheelies, i learned them the night i did that. once you get a hang of it raise the pressure up again. and also be careful of making quick sharp turns when your pressures low.

and no offence to Xidium but i wouldn't recommend doing any of that stuff just yet (or ever) for a stunter's fiddy. the bore kit is the way to go you'll have a grin from ear to ear everytime you ride. i geared my bike up for top speed +1 tooth in the front, cost $8 and it's still easier to pull 3rd gear wheelies than it ever was for 2nd's.
