I wheelie my hawk in 1st gear, no clutch. Go really slow, compress the front bouncing on the front forks then full throttle leaning way back. It goes up quite nicely... until lovely wife sees me doing it with my 5 year old cheering..... She was not impressed. I think she actually was impressed because I haven't ridden in 25 years and with only 30 miles on the clock I was standing it up. I was too chicken to fine the sweet spot and try to hold it. My hawk is still pristine so I sort of want to keep it that way. If you are going to try it be ready with the rear brake.
Clutch ups make me nervous cuz it happens faster.

If when you dump the clutch the revs don't come down quickly then maybe you have use for springs. Getting the clutch to bite harder than normal might actually hurt your wheelie endeavors and will certainly hurt the various parts that are being shock loaded.
