I found once you find the center of balance you can just hold it but where my prob comes in is when I try to shift it comes down as soon as I let off the gas to pull the clutch in!! DO I NEED TO TAKE THE CHANCE AND LEAN BACK MORE???? ANYONE KNOW?

okay do this...start out in first and try and get it up as much as possible until u start getting nervous (make sure u dont do this at a high rpm) then without the clutch shift into second...do the same and into 3rd, thats the farthest ive made it and i can do a catwalk for about 4-5 telephone pole lengths

Thats funny, you must be talkin smack if you have no tips, (AIM) on wheelies. my freind owns a 350 warrior and ive seen him take it back to the grab bar on the street and use it as a wheelie bar n throw sparks. im sure he would know ill ask him since you cant wheelie. thanx

i can wheelie through 5th gear it is easy once u find the balance point the only hard part is when u go to 1 side because ur tire pressure is different and u should sift with the cluth in a wheelie it is not very hard it just takes practice
