Clutching it?
Get going about 50-60 mph then pull in the clutch with your two fingers until it hits your other two fingers. Then let the clutch out fast, but smooth and at the same time gas it just A LITTLE BIT MORE!! Not too much though, just get used to the feeling of it coming up by clutching it!! If you give it to much gas it's gonna jump up quick as hell and scare you!! Just be careful!! Remember it's all about practice, you won't learn it all in one day!!
re
Like frosty said ( pull the clutch with two fingers till it hits your other two)....That was my problem,not pulling the clutch in far enough. When i used to do it it would just bounce a little. You dont have to gas it hard ,do it as your already accelerating, by the time you pull the clutch in and let out fast the rpms will already be up there. ...Go easy, youll get it.
I do agree with the two above me here saying use two fingers to pullin the clutch. But as for the speed, go a little slower more like 40-45. If you are still haveing trouble then make sure you are not riding the clutch at all. and give it a little more gas. just be ready when it comes up. I also saw the guy above say get going about 60. That has not worked for me, but the only bike I've stunted on has been my own F4i.
Tried 40-45, 50-60. Just not gettin' it yet. The damn thing just lurches forward hard. This 15-20 minute lunch **** isn't working.
F... it. I am going out this weekend and I am not gonna stop until I get it down.
(Do I sense a little frusteration?)
Damn new kids.
I'm starting to get down bouncing it but this clutchin' thing is harder than I thought it would be. I'll get it eventually.
(Patience young Skywalker. Use the force, it will be with you always)
Can someone please tell the damn voice in my head to shut the f... up?!!?!!!!

Ok check it out.....This is what I do in 2nd gear sit down wheelie while clutching it!! I get going...shift to second, get on the gas more and as I'm accelerating at about 50-60 mph I pull in the clutch and release it quick but smooth. Now remember, while I'm doing that I am still accelerating. Once it jumps up, I'm usually at about 90-100mph. Be careful and take your time. Trust me your bike will do it!! I've ridden the F4i and do many wheelies on it!!

Damn im in colorado and i would only go till about 4k pull in the clutch rev to maybe 7-9 grand not sure exactly and it would come up good. Now this is colorado less air less power when i was in NY i damn near looped it. I would try at lower rpms but give it alot of gas before you let the clutch go. you will eventually get it oh and dont try any stunts when your pissed off cause you will only wreck or you just wont get it. Oh and relax seriously no manual on wheelies tell you that but its very important just RELAX pull rev drop thats it you will get it but it takes time.
Thanks for the reassurance fellas. I have no doubt I will get. I have too much damn determination. I'm just a bit impatient.
Don't worry, I won't do anything when I am pissed. Learned the hard way not to do that.
I did notice I am a bit tense though.
Relax. I will keep that in my head right next to cover the rear brake.
Thanks again.

I am finally getting it. 45mph, clutch, rev to about 11k and drop the clutch.
Now.....I can get it up to about 2 ft in the air almost all of the time but once in the air the engine drag is bringing it back down right away. I would assume that I just need to keep rollin' on the throttle once it is up, correct????
By the way, I did this to get away from bouncing 2nd gears. Tried a second gear the other day bouncing and it was like something clicked in my head. First one came up smooth and I was able to hold it for about 6 or 7 seconds. Now I gotta work on finding the balance point.
I still wanna get down the clutching though. Still seems more stable.

Thanks
