on my scram will the bar in the back hold me up from fliping even in dirt or sand?

 

yes the bar will stop you you from going all the way over if your doing wheelies on level ground. Don't just depend on it though, I have gone all the way over before. That only happens when you aren't paying attention and you go back with so much spead and your leaning way to far back. Be careful in sand, if it's not solid ground the bar won't stop you.

 

Well sort of...... it definitely won't keep you from falling off the back if you stand it all the way up.

 

Most of the time yes. I have actually stayed on while the damn thing was dragging on the ground. I let the machine come to a stop and was sitting there with the machine standing on the bar. I casually got off and pushed the machine down and continued riding. Don't count on it though, you should always be ready to jump off if you have to regardless what you are doing.

 

I broke my rear rack riding wheelies on my SP500. The composite rack cost about $100.

IS THERE A SECRET TO PULLIN OFF A WHEELIE ON THE SCRAM 500 4X4?

 

Scott, I did the same thing while riding my friends Scrambler. Came to a stop and I just hopped off and pushed it down. He had a brand new rack on the back that got scratched up doing it. I felt pretty bad.

 

Gettin a Polaris up is easy. Put a little of your weight on the back wheels, pull in the brake, and give it just enough gas to get the clutches started,then all at once nail the gas and let go of the brake. Be ready for the front to come up. Thats the easy part. Rideing a wheelie is a lot more complicated. I can do about a 3 or 4 throttle blip wheelie and then its time for some back brake and put the front end back down. With the CVT I realy have a hard time keeping one going. But i have seen several people that can keep it up all day. Probably just takes lots of practice. Just get the touch up paint for the back bar ahead of time. you will definetly need it.

 

NO the rack will not save you.If it can't do it all the time don't count on it .Keep a knee on the seat and be ready to bail.Good luck
