Default New Sp800/anybody flip it over yet!

I just bought a SP800. Traded in a 2002 700 and so far impressed with the torque of the 800. I certainly don't wish this upon anybody but was just wondering if anybody has managed to flip it over attempting a wheelie. I have came close already. Just wondering if the rack extends back far enough to stop the atv from completely going over. I guess if I rode it senseably I wouldn't have to worry about it but ya know how kids are(actually 38 years old but still feel like a kid). Off to the Piaute Trail end of may. Happy Trails!

If you have a rear bumper like my 700 it will help catch before you flip it over. I thought mine was coming over one day and the bumper caught me.

I rolled my 700, does that count? This was a sideways roll and it came to rest upside down on the bars and rear box. The EFI kept the motor running is if it was right side up! Not good, with motor oil puking out the crankcase breather into the air box. Got it turned off and upright in a hurry. This was on the first ride with a new machine and we were getting a little crazy. After all, I'm only 50. Still have a lot of growing up to do.......
