It really is a timing thing. If nothing else use the foot brake until you get the timing. I could only do it with the foot brake at 1st. Always have your weight way back(so your rear is touching the rack. If I time it wrong my tires only get 1 foot off the ground, so there is timing, it is not just pure 325 muscle!

My buddy, "325" can do wheelies with little effort. I "500" rode a wheelie with his Trail Boss
about 300 feet the other day. NO PROBLEM! 325 does have the stage one kit from RCR which makes it a lot easier than stock. Even stock though we were doing wheelies. Try holding the brake first.
Timing is EVERYTHING!!! GOOD LUCK and let us know!

I concede to "325" you can wheelie the TB 325. Did about 4 good ones last night. Nothing spectacular, but definitely wheelies. Timing is right.. There's like a little sweet spot you have to pull on, otherwise, you just yank on the bars and look silly. I did that a few times too. Practice, practice, practice.... also had a fun time jumping out of a old ground silo last night. I need to crank up the rear shock though. It came set on the second softest setting. I kept "casing" (think that's the right word) it last night. finally, i sure am glad for the full floorboards and fender flares. we were riding on a mx track built in a cow pasture!! took 20 minutes at the carwash to "de-fertilize" my quad!

I'll let you know if I can get the front end up or not tomorrow evening or Saturday morning. I was going to take it out today but it has been pouring rain all day. I'm not worried about water so much as I am ripping up the yard and having to deal with that mess.

Well, despite the wet lawn I was loading the boss up on the trailer so while I had it warmed up I tried to get the front end up. No good. It just seems like I don't have enough power at stand still. It may be my fault, I cleaned the air filter last weekend by running it under the tap and letting it dry. Maybe the cotton based fibres shrunk or something? Once I'm at our destination I'll take the filter out and see if it behaves any different.
