I can do doughnuts,powerslides,drifts.But I can't seem to wheelie this damn scrambler any suggestions?

 

More power. Practice.

 

Kneel on the back of the seat. Knee pads come to mind. Wear a helmet too. Please.

 

try low,in low i can lift my sportsman 500

 

My 800 will come up easily in high just by sitting on the back of the seat. Heck riding normal it will lift them an inch or two if I nail it from 20 mph or so with good traction. I never knew it was doing that until my wife caught it on film. In the pic below you can see the torque lifting the front left after coming out of a turn and nailing it. I have some pics of both off the ground. I was shocked. Ok back on topic. I would think the Scrammy would pull the front end quite easily, but maybe the suspension is set up to keep the front down. Afterall when racing the best place for the front wheels is on the ground. lol Like said above get your weight rearward and nail it from a stop, even from a creeping roll makes it alot harder to get up.

It's a Scrambler. No low on it.

 

i have a 2001 scrambler 500 2x4 and it seems it does not wanna do any wheelies, seems like it too heavy.. oh well who needs to do wheelies, it has all the power that i wanted it for

 

you guys cant wheelie on a scrambler?

Cant speak towards the 500, although my friends 500 sportsman can wheelie.. and a scrammy is lighter and faster.

I have a 96, its basically bone stock , cept for whats in my sig, its def heavier than stock with my mods/armor.

Sit a bit back on the sit, give it a light tug just as you slam the throttle, it will stand straight up with very little rider input.

My friend tried to do a wheelie on it, after we got it rebuilt.

no helmet.. t shirt / shorts and sandals ... what a tard

but anyway, he piut BOTH feet on the grab bar, and hit the gas and it stood STRIAGHT up,
started dragging the bar along the ground, and his toes


hell of a wheelie, but boy did he learn a lesson, been a few weeks and his wounds are just starting to seal up properly.

 

no low on a scrammy?what just go and reverse?

 

Hears what works for me, not the best for your belt, but you should be able to reach your goal!!
Make sure it's in 2 wheel drive. pull and hold the break hard. start to rev the engine up until it loads up the shocks( you'll actually be an inch or two higher). Then release the brake and GUN IT! be ready to ease off the gas or you'll stand it up.
All your doing is making sure your clutch is engaged and belt is tight and your also getting your rpm's closer to the powerband.
practice a little and you'll get it; don't over do it though. too many consecutive runs is a little hard on the clutch parts and belt.
HAPPY RIDING!!
