gear your bike, go higher in the rear, Clutch it up. I dunno see if that might help

You need to clutch it higher from the start on that bike.

with steel braded brakelines you wouldnt get as much brake fade. i wasnt trying to make fun of you. when you ride slow wheelies your pretty constant on the throttle, its the brake that smooths out the wheelie.

your stock lines suffer expansion from the heat caused by riding on the brake constantly... this is fade...by changing over to a braided line as stated above,you won't feel any fade at all. Just dont be as quick to slam on the rear cause it'll lock up alot easier but thats more fun now Too:devil

its not about gears

gears wont automatically make ur wheelies slow down, u pick up speed bcuz ur barely off the ground, its about heighth, throttle and brake control

practice settling a wheelie at 50mph and under....or....just get a 4 wheeler and 12 that, then 12 a small dirtbike and it'll channel str8 into ur streetbike
