Learn the 'bounce' technique -- there are threads about this on this board. Here's what I do on my 00 R6:

2nd gear, 40-45mph, constant throttle. Stand up on the pegs.. not full leg extension, keep your knees bent some. Roll the throttle on about 1/2 until you hit around 50-55mph. Now, here is the part to pay attention to: Close the throttle almost all of the way. At the SAME TIME, bounce your weight on the footpegs. DO NOT, absolutely do NOT try to bounce your weight on the front end. RIGHT after you bounce, open the throttle up a decent amount. Bam, you're airborn.

I'm starting to bounce 2nd gear wheelies up , but I do have to bounce my weight on the front end. If I don't , the front end doesn't want to come up . Why is it so bad to bounce the front end ? If I just bounce on the pegs , the front end doesnt want to come up . Maybe I'm just not doing it right

Having your weight over the front end while your trying to bounce it doesnt make it want to come up very easy,makes sense huh. Like smb said bounce from your pegs not over the front end.
