i have an 06 AC 650 V2 and i finally mastered how to ride a long wheelie the other day, but i am wondering if it is hard on the machine and if i should be doing it. thanks for your help/advice.

 

I ride wheelies every day, and its fine. Just down slam it down every time, which still probably wont hurt these tanks! The only real problem, is when you gun it from a complete stop to wheelie, you put a little more strain on the belt, but thats an 80 dollar part, and easy to replace.

 

you spend 80 bucks on your belts? dang i'm glad i know someone that works at arctic cat that picks them up under discount and even then i don't think it is even close to that. i think i paid like 20 dollars for my last belt. and well i wheelie all the time cause well the 800 polaris's and the 660 grizzly's and all the other brands i ride with have to work at pulling wheelies and i can tap the throttle and away i go. i noticed compared to my uncles 04 400 AC my front end sags a lil more but that could be because i got wider tires to. a person could maybe start to get some wear in the bushings up front but i really can't foresee it, never heard of it before so i say WHEELIE ON!!!!!

 

So if i send you some cash weez, you can hook me up with a belt?

 

how bout this i was thinking bout getting another belt maybe this fall and when i do i will have them just pick up two of them and i will send ya one.
