Can somebody give me some pointers? I have a recon...when I ride a wheelie I put both my feet on the back rack and give it has and pull up on the handle bars...I can find the balance point but not for long....I will either go to far back or the front will fall..can somebody help me out?

 

Just practice, practice, practice. I mastered the art on my recon, with or without a winch. It's insane how high of an angle you have to be at to balance with a winch mounted on the front rack. I have also went back to far a couple times, but my rack has always stopped me. Also, don't use the "popping of the clutch" method (pulling up on the shifter an little bit, reving it up, and letting the shifter down all at once)that dirtwheels say to do, because it has sheared the buttons off of the centrifical (sp?) clutch on my recon, and I had to get a new c-clutch unit at the cost of 167 bucks.

 

I also have a recon and can get it threw the gears up to 4th Wheelieing . I dont put my feet on the rack either. Just put it in First and pull back on the bars and go. how much you weigh is also a big factor. most people just dont get it up heigh enough to keep it at its balance point.

 

Just keep practicing!I started off with my feet on the back rack, then i put one foot on the footpeg and the other on the rack. then when u get comfortable sit down and try it. i kept trying and now i can shift all the way through 5th with the front wheels in the air.

 

wow, all the way to 5'th...I don't think I weigh enough to get a wheelie up just sittin down on it...I weigh 125..I don't think it will go all the way up.

 

YOu guys have skill. semi automatics are the best for wheeling.ON My 250x everyonce in a while i can shift but it usually slamms me back when i shift. Ive been getting better about using the back break.
Probaly the best wheeling machine i have ever seen is a 185s threewheeler.
It cools when my friends dad go 5th or 6th gear down the road on thier 350x and 250r atcs. they can ride em for miles.
