Does anyone here know the best procedure to ride a front wheelie on a sport bike?? I have been trying to get help with the topic for forever, and nobody seems to be able to tell me positioning and speeds, and brake control.. If anyone can perform this trick please message me. I really wanna learn it! Thanks all

Find an empty car park and practice practice practice. I got the knack of doing it on my speed triple a few years ago after an afternoon of mucking about at an old airfield. You might find you've already done little ones without realising it! Brake progressively harder with your front brake only and move your weight forward. be prepared to GENTLY come off the brake as the tail rises. Start trying them at about 40 mph, much slower than that and you'll find that you're running out of time - I found it's actually harder to do stoppies at low speeds. Oh and make sure you've got leathers and crash bobs on cause you're gonna drop it at some point!!!
