Lean it more if you haven't....
Run a few more tanks to make sure its broken in fully...
Change the kind of tires to give you more grip...
Get a better pipe or bigger engine.

Also, check that slipper clutch and the clutch shoes. The clutch shoes will run down rather quickly.

Several things you can do. Of course, lean it in. It is already vroken in, and should be now fukky broken in. Do not leave it at factory setting, that is way too damn rich. Lean in but keep it a littl on the rich side, like an 8th turn rich from max performance setting. That alone hould unlock your wheelies.

also, as already said, crank that stupid spur gear slipper nut all the way down. that slipper slips way too much anyways.

Also, gear lower. Go with a 14T CB 52T spur. Your torque at your wheels will be multiplied even more.

Another thing, put thicker shock oil in your rear shocks. And stiffer springs too. The thicker the oil and stiffer the springs, the easier to rotate the nose up.

For the rear diff, take it out and drop in a rear locked diff if you have on. Both wheels getting power will also easily wheely. OR put in the thickest diff oil you can find.

Could be because your tires are not gripping as well as they did when you first got it.
