Well if you pump the clutch, the front will lift, especially if you load the front just before you do it. I have been experimenting.

And you're disappointed because it only wants to lift whereas the Sv actually did?

Try pinning the throttle off a bump. My only deliberate wheely. 3rd gear, 80-odd pinned it of a bump and fair poo'd mesen! Wouldn't recommend that trick on your Kwak though

I decided that day I don't like wheelies....
