Talking How do 500 guys wheely your bike?

Just want to know any and all tricks to wheely a 5oo popo. Like I've stated in a prior post I have to stand on back rack squat suspension and pin it in high. I know some guys can do it sitting, I only weigh a buck sixty/ sixty five on thanksgiving, maybe thats why?? Please no 700/800 replies I know all you have to do is pin it, my always says "shoulda bought an 800"LOL!

The only way I can get my step dads 05 foreman 500 to wheelie is in low gear, stand on he back rack, and shove down when I pin it. It comes up right away though and stays up very easily (since its in low). In high it starts going to damn fast before it gets up at all and at that point I'm not interested in wheeling but avoiding the tree line lol. He doesn't have greatest tires so that's probably not helping matters.

you could put a higher rate primary spring in to get the revs up into the power band a little. alot of weight to pull up. i used to hold the break and pull back on the handle bars hard and throttle at the same time and release the break at the right time and get it up a little but not for very long as the power isnt there to hold it. imo

I'm with you Mongrol, these thing's have 4 wheels for a reason!
If you want to wheelie get a 2 wheeler! JMO. But, each to their own!

Mine just spins two rooster trails from the rear wheel if I gas it hard from a stop. Maybe if I take of the 30lb steel brush guard and winch but thats to much work to bother.
