Keep the trottle twisted and let it come down on it's own.

I second bud0212's statement. If you chop the throttle it will be time for, at least, a new front wheel bearing.

If you really need to ask, you don't need to be doing wheelies.

To true...even more so on a 14! Come down one time with the front wheel a little cocked You'll never do it again.

Not to mention the new engine you might need from the effects of oil starvation.

I must confess I like to wheelie. I generally clutch it up in 2nd and ride it out. But you may want to start with power wheelies. Be safe, cover that rear brake.
