lean all the way back and when you are too far back press the back break with your foot it is real easy-----> are you popping the clutch or going slow and lifting up???

I find it helps to start with having one foot on the seat, so you can get a general idea of where your balance point is. Once you can ride those out for a while sit down work your way up.

i agree with stillander practice makes perfect just make sure your using the throttle and clutch and your brake you will pry need all of these to ride a long wheelie it just takes time then once you get it you will never forget how
