I love the Rancher, but I am going to have to call BS on this one. It will not pop a wheelie from a dead stop unless you throw your feet up on the rack and pop it up.

Default wheelie on a foreman?

Does anyone sell a higher lift/longer duration cam for the Foreman ? I have a 500tm, it has great bottom end torque ( figure they're designed for this ) but seems to run out of steam about half way through the rpms ( dunno exactly what these eng's turn ) . Would like to change the torque curve of the engine so it peaks a little later and holds a little longer.

any thoughts , suggestions ?

About 800 with oil, full gas tank, ect.... But it gets superb pulling traction, and i can flip it over backwards from a dead stop[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I dont know alot about the 400, but if its a clutch, it will be able to wheelie, any clutch will.

A Rancher 400 will wheelie with a little help. I mean by sitting all the way back and jerking it up. A buddy of mine was doing it the last time I rode with him. He's now clipped the carb spring and says it comes right up. Granted these aren't power wheelies, but it does pull it up.
