The scrambler has just got broken in so now it's time for me to get adjusted to it. I've tried wheelying it a few times on flat ground with no success..but it seems to come up easily with a little help from inclines. I'm sure there's some sort of technique to wheelying it since it's auto and I'm a pretty light guy....so what do you guys suggest? Thanks.

 

Its just a matter of timing. Pulling up when the powerband kicks in. You need to know where it kicks in. You will learn after a while of trying but once you get it just hold on and ride.

 

On our stock 500, I stand on the rear grab bar and hold the brake and rev a little, and then pull up as hard as I can and give it full throttle.

On our 500 with pipe, k&n, No airbox lid, and prowedges, I can do it sitting down but it is easier standing on the grab bar with it to.

i only weigh 115 and i can weelie about 300 ft or more like this.

 

I could do em on my 400 when it was stock sitting down. Both of my uncles have 500 Scrammy's and they were a good bit easier IMO because of the low RPM torque. A pipe/clutch kit would deffinately get the front end up faster too. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

It helps if you sit as far back as possible and pull up. You can also put one foot on the grab bar an kneel on the seat. That works too.

 

try giving it a little throttle until you can feel the belt grabbing, or until your just slightly creeping fowards and then hammer it and lean back see if that works.

 

With the Scrambler stopped, sitting down, lean forward and push the front end down with your weight (I weigh 210lbs). Lean back, pull back on the handle bars, and at the same time gun the throttle full force. You'll lift the front end easily enough, but the trick is balancing the wheelie. I would suggest, first practice hopping the front end up, then when you got that down you can concentrate on balancing the wheelie. Another way that works well if you're not heavy enough to lean down is to drive a couple of feet and hit the brakes hard. The front will dive down, and when it bounces back up, gun it and the momentum will lift it up. Whatever you do, make sure you have that brake covered!! I use the floor brake, so that way I have both hands holding on! The only way you'll get any decent height on your wheelies is to pull like there's no tomorrow! But a the same time, if you don't be careful, the Scrambler will flip on you! If it gets too high just stab on either brake and it will come down. Hope that helps, and be careful!

 

put a primary spring in it with a higher engagement rpm. I think i had an orange one in mine when it was stock. Makes it really easy to wheelie.
