if you have enough power then just pin the throttle. mine comes right up. the balance point is the tricky part

It's a lot cheaper to put in a 20 dollar spring than 40 brake pads.

If you power brake a cvt, you're burning the belt. Why is this such a hard concept for some people to understand?

I just give it gas and pull back a little and my scrammy comes right up quick. Thats the easy part, keeping it is the part I have problems with. It comes up so fast I let off the gas and it goes back down. Its hard to get it just right so it stops comming up and balances.

i know that powerbreaking a cvt burns up the belt, but it also gives you better pickup. and to all of you that just pin the throttle, do you have clutch work done, or could you do this with the stock clutch?

Don't let the hp numbers fool you. Its all in how you get it to the ground. Clutching clutching clutching!

Most all of us with Polaris sport models have clutch work.To wheelie all you do is gas it up to the engagment point then mash the gas and hang on.

I can wheelie my bone stock xplorer 400 pretty easily the key with it is to not pull up too early but to wait until it really starts accelerating.
