Hey everyone.
I'm new to the atv world and I have recently boought a 2002 honda recon. I have found it very easy to do a small wheelie in first gear but whenever i go to shift the front end falls down. Can someone please help me and explain how to shift while wheelin.
Thanks

takes a lot of practice. you have to be right at the balance point which is almost straight up. then shift that way it doesnt fall right down when you shift. just make sure when you do get it shifted in air that you dont hammer it if it is still up too high. you will go all the way back and hurt the grab bar real quick.

Try doing a wheelie in a higher gear like 2nd. If you can't just shift it really fast but watch out for the rear rack AND tool box.(mines all scratched).
