pull a wheelie on my Predator, I can't do it. I think because I'm too afraid to fall over backwards

It dont hurt when you fall off. Just dont let it land on top of you. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Seriously if you get scared just let of the gas or push the back break pedal and it will come right down. You will get use to it and that sudden lift wont be as scary with practice. Sit on the back of the seat to assist with lift off.

Predators don't wheelie well, buy a 400ex.

My Predator wheelies as easily as my Zilla did. Just mash on the gas and up it comes.

The antisquat design does make it harder to wheelie but you can. I find if i change my disks to 4 on my pp exhaust it wheelies better. the raptor or 400ex is a better choice though

Dont worry about looping it, if u do u will hit the grab bar. Just like what hoopie said, let off the gas or hit the back brake. I personally dont hit the back brake, i just let off the gas, since 4 strokes deaccelerate so quickly.
