If you want to avoid doing wheelies then you definately don't want to do this. In first gear, get the bike going to about 4k in the rpms, let off the throttle, this loads the front suspension, and then punch it. Don't allow too much time between letting off the throttle and punching it. I guarantee the front end will rise as high as you want it too. You should probably practice on just how much to give it after you let off. Just keep giving it a little more each time until you are satified with how high the front end goes. Just a bit of advice, after the front end has lifted, don't freak out and let off the throttle all together, you come down pretty hard. Just ease off the throttle and the front end should come down nice and soft. I have been practicing this for a couple of months now and I am really starting to get the hang of it. So much of this has to do with controling the throttle and fighting the urge to let off right away once your up in the air. In first gear, the transmission acts as your brake, so you don't have to worry about covering your rear brake. If you don't know what I mean, try going pretty fast in first gear and let off the throttle, you slow down very quickly, because of the low gearing. What ever you do, do not use your clutch at all when you are doing first gear power wheelies, at least until you really get the hang of it. Good Luck.
