Well as far as doing wellies on the lakota...I'm not too sure! It may be a little heavy. Don't know many other lakota owners so i'm not really sure, but they are definately fun. And you are right about it being better ( sorry trailblazer owners), or as you said the trailblazer has less power.

well the lakota is real easy to wheelie,but the only thing after a while you'll need a new clutch kit(springs,plates).K&g make a clutch kit for it that is very good.As for wheelies you'll be in neutral as you go into first when you lift the shifter up don't let down into first,just hold it up and rev it up and the lakota comes up easy sometimes comes up fast so becareful.You can also do the samething going into second,but you want to pull up on the handlebars.The lakota is an awesome trail machine it's smooth ride and top end speed is real smooth.

nope, that is just about the only way to get a wheelie on a lakota wihtout hitting a bump or something to lift the front end up. i have done it many times and so far i have not needed any clutch work. i am sure that will come soon enough though if i keep on popping wheelies.

My wifes lakota has the usual mods,isd2,,jet,twin air filter,13t front sp. and k&g factory clutch and spring kit and you can weelie from a
rolling start just by punching it.If you dont care about top speed,leave the 12t sp. on and comes up even easier.

Just put a few mods on your Trailblazer and it will wheelie like crazy and become a much better quad. It wont take much. I actually have a hard time keeping the wheels down from a dead start.
