I was having a tuff time with it at first, the predator would rather accelerate then bring the front end up but you can do it..

First gear is to low it will just rev out pretty quick, what i have been doing is shift into 2nd let off the gas a little then get on the throttle hard and pull,works perfectly..

At first you may be like "oh ****" because the balance point is so high...

Remember you can always control the front end by using your rear brake so if you think your going to hit something etc just pull in the clutch and hit the rear brake..

With the 13tooth i have on there now(thanks to Hozed) wheelies are easy almost to easy the front end likes to come up a lot...

Good Luck

it takes time and alot of practice....for example when u was a kid riding wheelies on bikes the more you do it the better you get. to get started to get used the balancing point put your left knee on the back of the seat ( just feels alot more safer and comfy) and if it comes up way to much its very simple to put your foot on the ground and push it up. after your used to the high balncing point ride them like trailrider said also ride them slow at first b/c its alot more pain full wrecking one at higher speeds then give it hell after your used to it

just asking about it, (I am in the same postition as 2004troyleepredator) is a pred a quad that could if you wanted to wheelie in say 4th or 5th gear? I dont think ill be trying to anytime soon, but im wondering if it has enough torque or w/e to do so. I just got my pred friday and Ill probly start working on small 1st or 2nd gear wheelies next week since im very used to the handling and feel of it now.
