It is all in the way you break it in you have to break in a stock 25 near perfect to pull wheelies. it also depends on your gearing what gears are you using

Use a 13 tooth clutch bell, and a 52 tooth spur gear. Insta-wheelies! I love that set-up. 14 tooth clutch works too

You may also need to run a little more fuel through it. Mine would not wheelie until I ran about 9 or 10 tanks through it. Now I can hardly keep them on the ground.
