I flip the clutch to get the front up for a wheelie, a trick my buddy swore on, and he does the best wheelies I've ever seen, you can get the front up in any gear at any speed doing this, no "whacking" the throttle, using the clutch flip lets you keep the throttle at a steady spot, easier to control once it's up. I could never do any good wheelies before I was tought this method, use this and like Ken said, start on a slight uphill incline, easier to get use to the balance point without the front end so high. Oh, and make sure you lean way back, I used to always try to hold it up w/just the power alone and stayed forward on the bike, found out I was wrong, now I sit so far back I'm almost on the rear fender, and COVER the rear brake.
