ok since i have got my yfz i have stop trying to wheelie my little 350cc rancher es. well today i finally did it. I have been trying to do this on my rancher for the past 3 months. today i thought id try one last time cause i was bored. so i went into my field and put it in first gear and punched it i got it up and after about 5 seconds i put it into second. as soon as i did that it lanched backwards and since i was going up it went right back on me!!! 500lb of atv right on my head. thank god i had a helmet but i think i need alittle more practice on the rancher. i think i'lkl stick to wheeling my yfz.but now i need a new helmet because mine is split into 3 pieces. i just thought you would like to hear my story.

 

never rode an es, but id feel weird wheeling like i do on my recon with the electric shift. OUCH>
new helmut, thats why i dont buy those 400$ ones, AFX, dennis kirk 79$ and a good helmut.

 

i bust out wheelies all the time on my rancher any little dip on the ground and i can lift it up

 

Thats why you should buy the $400 ones to PROTECT YOUR HEAD!

 

true, but, the way i see it, there both dot approved, so therefore it should protect your head, and i really dont have much in there to protect. jk

 

I have wheelied my Rancher once or twice [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

WHEELIE

 

i dont see how you ppl fliped! i wheelied the rancher and the recon so much i needed 3 pair of rear tires to every front pair! lol i could wheelie the recon at 35mph and have the rack scraping and the big a$$ rancher i would have it scraping until i hit 2nd it never fliped on me lol i dont see how that happend!

 

i can wheelie my rancher 4X4 ES from a dead stop. i just sit way back on the seat and it pops right up. and no im not fat, im 175.

 

well to answer your question DarkManX i started up on a flat piece of ground but when i shifted into second i was gogin up a slight hill and it slow went back i couldn't get out of the way fast enough because my foot got stuck.

 

atleast the helmet split and not your skull.... i would be very thankful[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]
