My Mate used to be able to do it on his BMW R90S, so it is possible

Yup, seen photos of Goldwings on the back wheel.

If it has a clutch, a motor, and someone with no mechanical empathy onboard, it will do a wheelie. Honest, would I lie to you?

The slack I was experienceing was just the lag caused by fueling.

When I landed a wheelie way too hard that time, I must have made the power comander go wacko. Don't have any other explanation.

I still ride/race with the same chain that came with the bike. It's got a few tight spots on it now but still usable.

These days I only clutch.

i bounce the bike up, whilst shifting (read throwing) my weight backwards.
for throttle control, i back it off and snap it back on whilst completing the bounce trick..
and thats a 12hp bike!
the chain has no tight spots.

12 HP - gee - Is that one of them attach to the bicycle things.
Mind you I watched the orange county chopper people doing wheelies on mopeds.

who cares which way you do it , if your worried about nothin else but the chain your not having enough fun, have fun start slow , worst thing would be dropping it which is a lot more expensive than chain /sprockets
