Same here and I agree with everything said. Sometimes I use the clutch to control the power, rather than using the rear brake though. Once I get the tire in the balance point I use the clutch to keep it there, and use the rear brake if I get beyond it. I NEVER dump the clutch to get the front end up. The 450 has enough power to do "roll on wheelies" in any gear. It is simply pulling back the bars at the right time, and being in the right RPMs.
