You have to either keep accelerating or keep it at the "balance point".
When you see guys wheeling bikes that don't have a lot of power on tap (50cc pit bikes, 100cc trail bikes, 50cc scooters, etc.), especially for a long distance, they are balancing it with the throttle and rear brake.
A WR-250X will accelerate only so far before you need to use balance to keep it going in a wheelie.
