Best way to pick the front up - clutch or power?

2003 YZF R6

1st gear - power weelie
Get going about 20mph
Simply and smoothly apply throttle
Front should come right up, sometimes to fast
Play with throttle as necessary

2nd gear - clutch
45 or so MPH roughly 6 or 7 thousand RPM
Pull in clutch, rev up to 12000 13000RMP
Release clutch, apply throttle as necessary

Maybe I'm just speical but 2nd gear power wheelies are not a problem.
A little weight transfer and its up. Just practice.

1st you can just whack the throttle and it'll come up, just about any rpm.

2nd you can smoke the clutch alittle. But you can also sit back in the saddle and whack the throttle at 6-8k rpm and it should come up pretty easy. Just be mindful that once you hit the power in 2nd, you're going to take off ....real quick.
