In what gear do you guys do wheely.

 

1st 2nd 3rd in that order.

 

But can you change gear while doing a wheely.

 

Yup,just takes practice.
To upshift while doing a wheelie on my 400EX,i used to just back off the throttle a little bit and then click it into the next gear without use of the clutch.
But for the most part I found it easier to just start the wheelie in 3rd gear to begin with.

 

It does take practice but after third gear it gets a little Hairy!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

 

I like doing wheelies in 2nd gear. I think its easier and it puts less strain on the engine.

 

second, third and fourth are the best i hate first.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

 

First through fifth. Just dont try the upper gears before your ready it can get pretty fast.

 

Yeh, higher gears are MUCH faster. I usually ride a wheelie up into low fifth on my shee. And having 17-40 gearing, fifth is about 65 mph, and thats hella scary. Keep to the lower gears until you feel VERY comfterble. I flipped one over going about 40 and caused MAJOR damage. To shift, you dont need to use the clutch. Start it off in 2nd, and then bring it up to the balance point, and keep it there. Let off the gas, shift, and then keep going. But of course, you have to do that in about .5 seconds...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I'm pretty new at the sport quad thing been on the big 4X4's forever. But I'm learning how to wheelie my Raptor my problem is I keep going past my ballence point or not far enough couple times I've put it back on it's rear bumper but it wasn't a big deal because it was a 1st gear wheelie so I wasn't moving very fast just kind of sat there on the rear bumper untill I tapped the breaks and set it back down again.
