i have an 86 like urs. the way i pop wheelies is find a little hill or somethin and gun it and pull up on the bars when ur almost over it. sometimes i hold the shifter up and let it rev up a little. i dont think that urs will do this cause they didnt come stock with that setup. how much was that piston you put in it? did u get a REAL noticable change? was it worth the money?

well start out bye flipping over a few times so u see how far back ur quad can go then focus on where it balances the best and keep applying throttle to keep the front from going down.

Don't worry about flippin it over, that's what the wheelie bar is for. sure you'll fall of the back, but the quad woln't tip over on you.

it just takes plenty of practice!!

12:1 Compresion requires a minimum of 95 octane fuel. More octane would be better, but 95 is required to prevent detonation and premature failure. I like to use 100 octane unleaded in my 12:1 motor. Too much octane [i.e. 110-115 or so]will cost you HP as it burns slower than needed.
