Real quick pressure question

I know its been answered before but I couldn't find it. Anyways, I need to know what pressure would be good for learning the wheelie thing. Next its a srad 750 so I am not sure if that makes a difference as most sportbikes are similar weight and usually similar tire sizes.

By lowering the pressure what exactly does it do to make it easier. The one thing I can think of is it'll keep it from drifiting to either side as easy. I'm thinking it might also prvide more gripping as it is a larger surface area. True/false?

Honestly? I don't care. I just want to get it up and to a balancing point so I can get the hang of it. I have never hit it yet. I just want to wheelie bro.

if you arn't at balance point yet keep stock pressure and learn 2nd gear wheelies until you are comfortable with them
because if you try slower stuff you have to not only balance front to back but side to side also
if you have problems in 2nd gear work on the position of your body,for me standups are easier to balance side to side...and don't rush things...it'll come to you when you are ready
