Just nail the gas, when you are high enough - let off. Do that a couple times and you will find your happy place[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Try this before you just "nail the gas" from a dead start:

Ride at a slow pace...about 15 mph or less. Let off the throttle so that the engine breaking kicks in....the bike will lean forward a bit in the front as the engine breaks...Then just tap the gas (you don't really have to pull back on the handle bars)....the front tires will raise. Keep doing this and giving it more throttle and sitting further back on the seat until you get the tires up where your beginning to ride a wheelie.

You will get the front up enough to scare you a few times....but if you start trying wheelies from a rolling start...you are far less likely to "flip" over.

Good Luck. Riding wheelie on this machine is very easy once you get "the feel". You'll be riding 50 yard wheelies in no time.

Keep practicing.

You definately wont have to lean back or try to pop it, it will just do it on its own. If anything you could lean foward a bit. If you do nail the gas you just have to be quick with throttle control. The p650 dont need any coaxing with wheelies, and the force is lighter with a bigger engine.

when you "front up enough to scare you a few times" you will come to notcie that that point right there is your balance point. So just try to stay there it should be pretty easy. it will be a lot easier with an auto because you will have a rear brake lever which you can keep one hand on just incase. and really dont be afraid to flip it back once or twice. I mean the wheelie bar will scratch but the quad wont roll over unless you are on a hill. Just keep 1 finger on the rear brake and good luck.

Practice on grass or sand not pavement.

the wheelie bar is the same as a grab bar. It is that u shaped thing that comes out right under the rear plsatic. It keeps the quad from flipping completly upside down but the quad still can rest comepletly upright on it.
