Reply to jonnyoh : i'm not sure to have understood your question but i'll try to anderstand. i've got a steering damper which may have saved my life sometimes. if you've got steering troubles when you put down the front wheel, it's due to your front wheel which is not in the right straigt (may be the front wheel is a little turned left or right). becareful with it, cause it's dangerous in high speed.
reply to Swifty : making a wheeling in first, is, as for me, a little dangerous coz you don't have speed to keep you in a straigt and the motor is too brutal so you can quickly spinning yourself.
I never look at my mph clock to make a wheelie but always my RpM clock. to make a wheelie in first without too much risk of spinning, turn really on the gas at 5000 Rpm and and the first wheel 'll came up. then you can try to pass the second.
The best result solution to make long wheelies is to clutch up in second. accelerate gentle to 4000 rpm and clutch up between 4-5000 Rpm with the gas more open. and after, just get a bit more of gas to find the good high for the front wheel.
then you can make a smile to the blond girl looking at you in the car at your side !!!
Sudden brown undies?.. you better beleive it! ... after grabbing the rear brake the front slams down and oooof 
2 lovely dents in the tank where the pod's touched down.
