Ok guys i need a bit of help doing higher speed wheelies, IE getting it up in 3rd+ i got my bike geared -1 +9 and i have no problem doing slower stuff, but if im on the highway going 70+ i cant get it up. Any advice on this? btw i ride a gsxr-750 1997

Are u trying to power it or clutch it? And have you tried to bring it up in 2nd? If you are powering it up try bouncing it.

damn that geariing is crazy - i could bounce my 021k in all gears <trouble with 6th sometimes> and i was only +2 in the rear

thats clutching it, i think im going to replace the clutch, because even in second i cant get it up now, it seems its slipping. :-/

Any advice on suspension settings for maybe being able to power it up better. Im small so its hard for me to really bounce the front.

size doesnt matter, accelerate and let off and that will make the front dive which will help w/ the bounce....its all about timing if you choose to bounce it up

Yeah , Ill have to jump the fence on this one. Your front suspension does matter. And Im not EVEN going to give you advice on what to set it to ..Im far from being qualified to give you specs..
Try goiing here and finding your bike to set your suspension.... Try Here
Or a better one here Best Suspension How To Ive Found
I will say this though , the stiffer the front is the more agressive the bounce. It rebounds faster and more violent . But on the downside, when you roll off you'll have to push down some to compress the springs as far as possible .
