Default BF 750, Having trouble doing a wheelie

I just got mine, I broke it in this weekend but I am dissapointed that I cannot get the quad to pop a wheelie. I have tried dirt, pavement, mud, etc... Is there something I am missing?
I live in Tampa, FL so I know its not an altitude issue.
Thanks,
Steve

How do you break in a motor in one weekend?

Motor break-in on an ATV can take 300-500 miles... that would be tough to do in one weekend I would think.

You break it in the right way in a day. Warm it up and pin it wide open. Repeat many times and enjoy properly seated rings. Don't forget to wear a helmet.

You have to find a spot where you can get good traction to pop wheelies. Try low gear, motor slowly forward, drop the throttle then pin it with a little leaning back.

I did not try low gear, maybe that will be the difference.

The tires do not spin either from a dead stop, unless I am in loose dirt.

It just seems a little slower off the start than I expected, considering all the reviews that show folks doing wheelies.

I ran it next to a Honda Rincin and I blew him away but I expected that. Maybe it just needs to be broken in more.

How complicated is it to use a dyna kit? Does it have any downsides?

Thanks,
Steve

You just plug it in. The downside is that you can't let anyone without experience ride yer quad, and your friends may want one too.

Let me borrow that for 2 minutes. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] I believe I could stand it up.

"Isn't it a utility quad?" Hey Barely Legal, some Utes can really get it up! LOL, Check out my pics. Back to the real subject, though. There must be something wrong with that BF!
