    Before you all spend the money buying a stabilizer (not that its not worth it, I had one on my bike :)) I know that stepping up your headstem bearing adjustment helps some. I believe stock torque is 40ft/lbs, step it up 2-3 ft/lbs from that. No harm done and a slightly tighter front end. Worked well on my bike before the stabilizer.

    I'd like to see a 12 power wheelie in second gear with no clutch. I've owned mine since 04 and it won't. Infact I know several others and they won't. They will easy with a little clutch action though.

    I have a 04 XB12R and in second gear can only do a roll-on wheelie while standing. I like to use the clutch but it can be rough on the clutch.

    Thanks everyone for all the post on this topic. It realy doesn't bother me to be seen as a newb, so thanks for the help. I finally got my front tire off the ground ever so gentley, am very hesitant to open the throtel to fast, how high are your RPMs when the lift occures, and how hard do you accelerate? :D
