Default !?uncontrollable wheelie?!

any1 who owns a scrammy knows that it is kinda tricky to wheelie,its like with mine its either too much gas or not enough,i can never get that perfect balance point and when i finally do its like you have to constantly give it gas to keep it up and that results in more speed,thats not my problem tho

my problem is that when the front wheels are in the air or when i take my hands of the bars,the quad always seems to ease off to the left,i didnt notice this until i got into riding wheelies,since it pulled to the left i let a little air out of the right front tire but it still pulls to the left a little,what could be causing this?,i kno this isnt something serious but its just 1 of those little quirks that bothers me when i engage in stuny riding with my buddies

thanks to all who respond:

could be that your swing arm bushings have a small amount of play ,,,that would cause your rear tires to run a bit off and cause a pull mabe???just a guess though[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

one tire might have more air pressure then the other.

Check your wheel bearings NOW

Last fall my one of my riding buds said the exact same thing . 10 miles later his rear bearings failed locking his axle up.

If they are good make sure your tires have the same tire pressure and measure the circumferance of both with a tape measure. Sometimes tires are not exactly the same hight.

it might be that one of your rims is bent a lil. on my tb i had to leave a good bit out of my left tire when i first started. but now i just put my weight on what ever side needs it to keep me going straight. the eastest way to start ridign wheelie to find the balance point is to put your left knee on the back of teh seat and your right foot where it usually is. the prob alot of ppl have is that when there in it they dont even know it and still giving it gas. when u have it up to the balancing point on falt ground u hardly need the gas just a lil put and a second later another lil put
