Well, I can wheelie a number of different ways, the easiest is to get the RPM's up and dump the clutch and make sure you can hook-up or you'll just spin the tires. It's much easier, in my mind to wheelie a 4-stroke than a 2-stroke. one other note, if you have a Banshee it will take alot of prctice, because they just spin the tires.

It depends on what you're riding, too. If you have a 400ex or a Raptor, a little tug on the bars and a shot of throttle in 1st or second will bring the front end up no problema. Personally, I prefer standing up since I can see where I'm going better, but good buddy jcv400ex likes sitting down better! It's all what you feel comfy with. I always have my right foot over the brake pedal & a couple fingers on the clutch in case I stand 'er up too much. What are you riding, anyhow?

wedge personally i like to sit down. its hard to see where your goin when your sitin so be careful but i find its easier to keep your balance. also don't be worried about wheelies too much. with your 400 you'll be able to loft the front end no prob. you won't even need to pop the clutch. very easy to find the balance point too. don't worry. once you get on everything will become natural to you.

First of all, have it in 1st or 2nd. Sit back on the seat, punch the gas, and pull back on the bars. Dont be afraid to fall back. One of my friends is always scared about that, but the grab bar always stops you from it.
