If it's spinning, you need to do one or more of the following:
  • Move your weight back
  • Get a better tire
  • Check air pressure in tire
  • Pull back harder so that you're relying less on the motor/tire and more on your body to get it up
  • Try it on dirt that has better traction
  • Use a bump to help lift the front wheel

Also, compress the suspension, then as it rebounds pull back and apply power, don't be afraid to use the clutch a tad if you need to. The XT225 has plenty of power for 2nd gear wheelies (for that matter I used to wheelie my 2hp puch moped around).
