What do you have,400 or 500?Either way scoot back on the seat a bit,go full throttle and pull back on the bars at the same time,well maybe not full throttle.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]Start small and work your way up.

you will need traction and a small amount of body english

scoot back and raise your butt off the seat, and hammer it as you pull back.

Very easy if you "preload" the belt by holding brake & applying power, then release...Be careful or you will ruin the belt...

seat back a little,pull the trigger gradually (with no flat spot) til it hook up well than pull yours arm on the bars,on the 400 2 stroke there is instant low torque response,you didn't have to wide open the throttle
at all (better for drag racing),if your machine engagement is around 3500 rpm or +,it should raise the front tires,but that is on a modded scrammy point of views,in stock trim they're not intented to be so aggressive off the line.

I agree with these quys. My clutch engages high enough that wheelies are fairli, easy. The only trouble I have is traction.

Don’t forget dudes “for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction”, in other words, once the thing is on the back wheels you will/may need to apply a bit a brake to avoid flipping the beast. Have fun!

Watch your speed, the CVT is going to keep you accelerating as you ride it.
Also look where you’re going, watched my brother ride a nice wheelie into a bunch of trees last year.
He rode the wheelie further then he expected, the trail turned left, he went straight, real funny to watch, not so funny to do.
