about 15 feet I would have to say...trailblazer has not enough power to get the front up unless you jump on the back and it has little to keep it going....had it standing on end once...I maybe coula walked it farther...but nevertheless it is a fun quad...but I need more power..later

My Bayou won't come up without a bump, but can get all of first and some of second sometimes. However, in my younger days I could ride (and still can a little) my ten-speed bicycle from first to fourth gear contantly accerlerating (about 120 feet) or going slow about 90 feet. But my fast wheelie days ended when I went back in fourth gear and was going faster than my feet could run, ran into a curb, ended up in a front yard and the seat of the bike came around, hitting the back of my head and knocked me out for a few seconds. Good thing the metal didn't get me. Friends got a good laugh. My mistake was not wearing a helmet - ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET when riding anything that has a motor - and never do anyting stupid in front of little kids and give them ideas.

Pretty much as far as nothing comes in my way. Before i got my kfx i rode a wheelie about 300 yards or something like that on my old honda rancher. started in 2nd and to 4th. it really doesnt do you any good to shift up to 5th on it cause theres no power there. with the rancher its all about balance. On my kfx400 i can raise it up on a wheelie in any gear. Most guys keep sayin you can only raise it up 1st through 3rd, but i just give it a good jerk and pin the throttle and up it goes. I dont pop the clutch. Its simpler to just rev the throttle halfway about 3 or 4 time to get the rpms up and then pin it. I still havent mastered stoppies( hitting the front brakes and making the rear come up and keep going) I can only keep it up for about 3 seconds. Which ive only tried it on black top. Flippin frontward on black top is scary.
