I'm able to ride pretty good wheelies with my Scrambler 500 4X4. I just sit back on the seat and crack the throttle and up she comes. Of course, I tip the scales at 250 so the front end may come up easier for me than for a lighter person....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

My father has a Magnum and in high gear you have to give a pretty good jolt,but in low gear the front end goes up easy.If you do not have a rear bumper and you go to far over your rear rack is toast.

It's easiest (for me) to balance when I've got my knees on the seat. If I'm sitting on the seat, balancing is a bit more of a chore and something I haven't gotten too comfortable with yet. Guess I'm a little fearful of all that weight flipping over on me.

I personally enjoy doing high speed wheelies. I get going about 20 mph...stand up, lean back and hit the gas. Front end in the air and going fast!

I have also seen a SP 700, Kawi 650, Grizz, and stock T-Blazers do good wheelies too!

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

My 300 Xpress would never wheelie before. Now it wheelies when ever it feels like it. I usually can't get it to come up when I want it to but it will come up on you in a hurry when you least expect it. My clutching isn't dialed in yet so that's probably why its like that. I've always wanted it to be able to pull itself up but it can be pretty scary when you don't expect it.

on the scrambler 500 and 400 i can ride reverse wheelies by pushing the reverse overide button and you really have to be on top of things or you will end up on your lid.

adamnieman...

I am wondering which of these machines I want to buy. Between the Sp 700, Kawi 650, and Grizz. Which one of the your machines do u like best??? Just curious to know what you think since you have them all. Thanks for any info you can give.

No...I dont own any of the 3 machines...just my scrambler. I have riden with those who do own SP 700, Kawi 650, and Grizz.

As far as speed, the Kawi is fast on take-off. It is like the faster accelerating utility quad I have ever seen.

The other two quads I know little about...but I have seen all three pull a good wheelie. I am sure some of the other forum users could help you out.
