how do you guys keep it straight. I have no problem finding the balance point, but it allways drifts one way or the other. I've checked tire presure and got it within 1/2 lb. and don it on meny different surfaces. Any hints would help. Thanks.

are you sitting down on the seat or standing. i have found that if i put my knee on the seat and my foot in the middle of the rack if keeps it pretty balanced.

I think he is talking about a real wheelie! The 400EX is a awesome wheelie machine but all the ones I have seen drift one way or the other for some reason no matter with air pressure

Tire pressure has to be exact. And if trying wheelies on roads, most all roads have a slight slope to each side. So you have to realize its always going to try and pull you to one side unless you counter this by changing tire pressure.

Also the stock 400 tires being so soft dont help the situation any. With a stiffer tire they wont tend to give way easily and pull to one side.
