My favorite youtube how-to...It's old, but still a good one.

My Buell wheelies all by itself just during normal driving. You don't need to pop the clutch just snap the throttle. That gives you the fun power wheelie. If you want to do the nice slow speed wheelies you just let the clutch slip a little then give it some gas. Release the clutch and lean back slightly and bend your elbows thus removing the weight from the front end. Bike stands up. Also helps to have a gas tank less then half full.

Rockstar, how much do you weigh, how tall, how far up/back do you sit on the seat, and do you tend to ride with a lot of forward bias (weight on hands/wrists)? Those things can all contribute.
