I been wanting to make my 05 foreman 500 es more powerful and was wondering if there is any way I can get it to wheelie with 26" vampires on it from a dead stop. What all engine mods do I need to do and how much do you think it would cost. thanks

 

Mods always help but if you throw your feet up on the back rack and bounce it right you can wheelie is stock pretty easy. If you looking to pop wheelies all the time just useing the torque from the engine you best bet is to buy another quad.

 

A wheelie with 26inches wow..lol..it could be done but you will probly need some jets and a filter or somthing...but you could also stand on the back rack and bounce....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

if you wanted to make ur foreman 500 do that .... 040 weisco high compression piston & rings -- ~ $350... boring & honing-- runs around $65 depending on where you live-- you'll need a top end gasket set -- $50 from honda, and some mechanical experience. I'm sure you can get some different rocker arms for the foreman engine (it's still a pushrod right?)-- this is all i can think of without going to the bottom end of the engine.

My recommendation is to buy a big-bore-- they'll raise the wheels up while already going 5 mph -- i dunno about the honda big-bore.. never ridden the 700efi rincon.

 

My rancher 400at wheelies from a dead stop it should be hard to wheelie your foreman.

 

Before you go and spend a bunch of money to do wheelies on that Foreman. Try this. Remove the top of your carb, 4 screws. Becareful they will strip easily. Lift off the top and remove the spring. Count off about 11 coils counting the end that is bunched up as one. Cut the spring. Reinstall the longer piece then the top and go test. This doesn't give anymore power. But it does greatly improve throttle response. My Rincon had ITP wheels and 26in ITP 589s on it. It would not lift the tires. I clipped this spring and it would pull them about a foot. I then went back to stock tires and hit the rack it came up so quick. This works on Ranchers, Foremans and Rincons. Maybe even the Recon. This is FREE and it works. If you don't like it a new spring only costs a couple of bucks.

 

i know you probable dont want to hear about my stock foreman 500 but in 2wd we hit a wheelie from a dead stop in first gear got it up like 2 ft and hit second gear and even third gear before it came back down and thats with no mods what so ever

 

i can get my 350 rancher to wheelie going from 1st to 2cd, all the way up. 25 inche gators. its all in the timing[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

does the weight of the rider make a diff [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I have to put a foot on the back rack and pull. Must be my fat ***.

 

Any clutch can wheelie. If you have an auto, then you need raw power to make it wheelie from a dead stop. I had to stick some money into my 700+ lb machine to make it do that.
