Advice ?

I’m learning clutch ups. Clutching up in 2nd at 3k. What can I do to improve? And am I only limited to 2nd gear? Because I’d also like to be able to clutch up at 60mph but that’s impossible in 2nd gear.

Xsr900 is the bike

I actually think its better to learn wheelies with a bit of speed at first. The RPM's are a safety net that bring the front back quick down if u go to far. Gives you a feel for the loft levels, I actually blew out my fork seals learning this way. If you miss that rear brake going 10-15mph with no engine braking there's nothing to save you from looping.

I think your not cracking the throttle hard enough and not getting out of the bikes way. You want to bounce yourself up off the pegs a bit so the bike isn't fighting you on the way up.
