Trade it for a Prairie 700 or BruteForce 750, and soft pression on the throttle does it![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
Or put a lots of weight on your rear rack, hoping it will lift. For a wheelie, you need a light front end and engine power.

You'll need some help first off it is full time 4x4 which means 2 things, a heavy front end and a front end that wants to pull you forward and not upwards. Get a 424 select and some performance upgrades. Also try putting your right knee on th seat and your left foot remains on left peg. Shift all your wieght back while rolling and gun it. maybe it will come up. You end up riding it like a snowmobile.

I agree with quadduck. My friends 2x4 rancher will wheelie....but thats a big difference from a 4x4 rancher.

You can do it by revving the engine up a little, and hitting the shift button. You need to have your weight on the back and you will have to replace an actuator and auto trans in the near future, but it can be done.

put it in gear, get up on it and hold on to the handlebars while standing on the back of the back rack. give it gas and pull up on the handlebars and push down with your feet.

revving it wont work cause it wont let it shift into 1st until certian rpm.
