Default whats it take to get 500 to lift front end?

i have a 2001 500 4 stroke 4x4. i have a k&n air filter and have changed the primary clutch spring to a white. no matter what i do i cant get the front end off the ground. i weigh 210lbs. does anyone know if this is the proper spring. all motor and exhaust is stock. i want ot spend as little money as possible!!!!!

I think that there is a technique to doing wheelies on automatics. Don't pull on the bars as soon as you gas it. Wait until you can feel the power come on then lean back and give a tug. It should come up no problem. I've seen guys that have automatics that just pull and pull on the bars when they are gassing it to no avail. Just wait a sec and let the power build then lean and tug.

It takes a little more lead in your pants...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Exhaust and air filter would be my first upgrades.
