Just put it in first or second gear, start driving at about 1/4 throttle and give it a good dose of throttle. People will tell you to rev it up and dump the clutch but this is much too dangerous for a beginner. The front end comes up way too fast. You will only end up on your back. It takes awhile to get a hang of wheelies but it is pretty fun once you get good. You should also listen to THEMOOSE. protect yourself!

Safty first, plan on getting hurt a few times, do like said in the above post and shift some weight to the rear of you seat. Shifting your weight some helps the front come up with out dumping the clutch. Dumping the clutch is a sure fire way to flip over backwards. Also chicks dig scars. Good luck.

allways rember to take baby steps..........and a good set of krutches!!!!! bandaids, peroxide, cell phone to call 911, and its all fun once u get it you will wheelie every wher u ride! easy way to learn also is to ride the clutch a little to control your power when front wheels r too high let off gas or pull in the clutch to keep from flipping youll get the hang of it. have fun!

ROFL, My wife says the same thing but she still digs the scars. Thank God we're both Firefighter-Paramedics. She can treat my wounds when I get home. Saves me a huge emergency room bill.........well usually anyway.

this is what I tell everybody


go out in the grass or sand have a helmet on and gloves and flip the thing over backwards a couple of times ( it dont hurt) then you will only improve from there !!! think theres a few wheelies on my site
