Default How do you do wheelies?

Hey I just reccently learend how to do a wheelie on my 250 timberwolf. But in order to do one i need to give it gas in neutral then shift into first and usually dont have to pull up at all. I normally either need flat land or a small hill to do one. How can i do a wheelie on a Kodiak 400 its automatic so i have no clue on what to do.

im guessing the TimberWolf is a Semi automatic?

and as for the 400, i doubt it can do a wheelie without alot of complex body english, pavement, and some luck

Yes the Timberwolf is an automatic. Does anyone know if what im doing is bad on the engine, im pritty sure im not overreving it and im very close to full throttle when i shift into 1st. Also for perfomance if i wait longer in 2nd before i shift into 3rd will 3rd gear be shorter because it feals very long.

i doubt its bad or anything, however its probebly being alot more rough and strenious on the transmition, but its not any different than poping the clutch on a Manual.

Neutral slamming it can't be good for it. When you do that you slamming metal on metal together. When using a clutch to do this your pressure plate and clutch pads are whats making the contact. If you plan on tearing your wheeler up, you should be ok with that method.

I just rejetted my Bear tracker and installed 6 uni filter vents. It will pull the front wheels off the ground in 1st with my 300 lbs. but on the back of the seat with a slight tug on the handle bars. I have to be rolling a litte. I need to drop on more jet and I think that it will come up in 2nd with a little help and a rolling head start.
With my griz, I just us my thumb and nothing else.

I use the thumb on my right hand. Reving it up and dumping in to gear is going to destroy your tranny. Those small CC utility ATVs are not made for riding wheelies.
