Default pulling wheelies on a Forman S

Wanting to buy a Honda ATV for both work and play and the forman looks like it will fill the bill. But I am wondering can you pull wheelies on a stock Forman S. What about after you put big tires under it. A friend has the Recon and I can pull wheelies all day on it but it is realy light.

If you can pull wheelies on the Recon, you probably can on the Foreman because they're geared low for torque. How are you popping wheelies on that Recon? If you depress the shifter, rev it and pop it, that's got to be terrible on the transmission isn't it?

The one we have won't. 26" 589's.

Hit a dip and it will though...........................................

Poping it into gear isn't the smartest thing to do, also hard on rear ends.

Install the Warn front disconnect, and it will in 2x4 with some effort.

Recons are a blast to do wheelies on .... But I've done a few rear bar scrapers in fourth gear. Rolling in third gear it gets tough to yank the front up without the feet on the rear rack, LOL, but it can be done....
