Default How can I wheelie it?

How eactly would I wheelie my Arctic Cat 500? I've tried before.. but I can't do it, I just lose traction.

Get some better tires or pack on some more weight and lean back! LOL

to get mine to do it i just have to put my feet on the back rack so i can shift my weight back stall it up just a little bit and then floor it. Works every time if your not on sand. Then it will just spin out. careful sometime they go a little to high.

I hear you. Truthfully I'm too chicken to try a real wheelie...I have images of the thing flipping back. I've been under it a couple of times already and that's enough.

I do get a real thrill when I'm coming out of a mud pit and end up doing a cat walk. Sadly though I have no pictures to ever prove I've done it.

i agree with this, soon as my wheels come off the ground i'm off the throttle, it doesn't take me standing on the rear grab bar to get a wheelie off on my warrior though, it dose it whenever i dragrace someone leaning over the handlebars, and i'm not a skinny person either.

Those 6-packs work pretty good.

Wheelie going up hill. Puts more weight on the rear.

I can wheelie the rene a good 100'+

I could wheelie all my atv's simply by standing on the rear rack and pinning the throttle-

hehe- with the rene, all I gotta do is blip the throttle and it comes right up, will even wheelie in 4x4! haven't seen many 4x4 atv's do that!

A good friend spends most of his time on two wheels. I'll bet if you looked at the tread, the back wheels are more worn
