for your brakes, go to a car wash and powerwash your rotors. cant help ya on the rest o wait, for the wheelie problem, put both knees on the seat, feet on the rear bumper thingy, and shift all your weight to the back when you hit the throttle. its too bad you have a 4 stroke, my 400 scrammy pops good wheelies, i can just sit and pop them. 2 strokes so powerful hehe

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

Grease it real good to get the squeeks out.Clean or replace the pads to get brakes working.As for wheelies you should be able to get it up from a stop with no problem after you learn the bike.If not check out my sig and set it up that way and you will have a hard time keeping the front end down[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Mine will wheelie just fine. I'm still scared of it though. I'm still learning. Just lean back a little and mash away.

the 500 may take a little work to get a wheelie out of it, 400s dont have a problem, even stock. again, i love 2 strokes.

I just bought a 2004 Scrambler 4x4 500HO and it should be delivered tommorrow. Do they wheelie really easily? Does the front end come up regardless of how you are sitting or riding it under hard acceleration? Can I keep the front tires on the ground under hard acceleration if I don't want to wheelie?

If its stock you have to really try to get the front up. You should have no problem punching it and keeping the front down when its stock. Now after some mods it will come up any time you hit the throttle all the way and are stopped, unless the rear tires slip. A $20 spring will make it alot easier to get the front up.
