When you do it do you have to lean back and pop the clutch or can you just use the clutch? Also how high do you rev it?

I just lean forward and then jerk back while I nail the gas... although I can do wheelies in every gear thats how its easiest.

I couldnt pop wheelies in thrird when My raptor was stock, I only wiegh 130 now 120 when it was stock, lol. I guess if your a big guy you could do it, now i have a 14 tooth sprocket and pull it up in third easily.

Yeah I weigh 185 that probably helps me, on my raptor third just pulls up, but on a stock raptor I can pull third up.
