I spend most of my time trying not to wheely so i don't think i would be of any help ..What i can tell you is wheelys are all ballance and feel .. If you are to high and slam second gear you will go over .. If you are below that spot the bike will slam back down ..Get it in the right spot with the right throttle controll and you are go to go ...Maybe some other members will come along to help you .. I have done the 1/8 with the wheel up fighting the whole time to get it back down without losing any ET ..I know the ballance point on my zx14 very well so i'm never in trouble and that the way i like it ..
P/S love your turbo bike .. I had one back in the day that i raced also ..

When my bike was ridden on the street, it was the wheelie monster. As far as answering your question, I really don't know. Sometimes you can keep in it, and it will slowly come down, sometimes it will come right over. Here's a video compilation of all my wheelies a friend made for me.

As you are probably aware controlling the front end is what separates the men from the boys. You can control the front end with the throttle, the clutch, or a combination of the two. All take practice, I would recommend never letting the front end come up more than a few inches or so, after that you are most likely losing et, control, or both. That being said, if you can pin the throttle, feather the clutch, and lose no et while doing this we will give you a nice nickname like, Ryan or Chip. Not sure why those come to mind. I have no dirt background so I am not comfortable hanging the front end, I am able to sixty as well as most but I buy more clutches as well.
