If you haven't done many just start by powering the thing up in first gear to get the feel of things. The F4i will power up at almost any speed in first gear. What I do is roll on the throttle to about 35 mph then chop it and open it back up. It will come up right away. Cover the rear break. 
I have just started doing second gear standups by bouncing and am starting to learn to clutch it up in 2nd.
Second gear standup. (Bouncing)
-Second gear, stand on pegs, knees bent a little, get up to about 60 mph, roll on throttle to about 65 mph, chop the throttle at the same time bounce on the pegs. As the front forks start to unload, whack the gas open about 3/4. It will come up. Cover the rear brake.
Second gear clutching it. (Seated)
-Second gear, roll up to about 45 mph, use two fingers on clutch, squeeze it till it touches your other too fingers, rev up to about 11k, release the clutch quick and smooth. It will come up. Cover the brake.
This is just a brief synopsis. I am a newbie and just learning. Check out the past stunt questions. There is a lot of good info there on wheelie's. It is where I have been learning from.
Good luck and take your time.
