i have no problem doin wheelies on mine. i start in 2nd adn crack it and pull the front end up and ill ride them till i run out of room... or a car comes down the street the other way.... but on dirt or sand ill ride 2nd threw 6th without hte front commin down. its all balance. if ur afraid to fall back and get hurt then ur gona have a hard time learnin. dont worry about fallin off cause its not gona hurt that bad. if u start to go a lil to far back u can lightly tap the rear brake or let off the gas. if the front goes down to far slide back on the seat and lean back a lil more and give it some gas. u can use the cluth to if u need to bring the front down. i dont agree with the shifting without hte clutch more than 4 times and the tranny will be shot statement. just dont have hte gas pinned with u shift. i do it some times and never hurt anything yet... if u give it time ull get it down. just dont be aftaid to fall off.... and if u bend the rear grab bar just hit it back down into place with a mallet.... works for me every time.... they do get weak after about the 10th time tho..... good luck

Heres what I have learned through experience over the years.
To learn where it balances try putting one or both feet on the grab bar and get it to the balance point. The blaster is so dang light that if you go back to far you can put your foot out and stop the grab bar from hitting. Sometimes i do that to stand my quad up on the grab bar to work on it... its the lazy way i guess. first gear is pretty short so i like to use second. Once you get that down in 1st and 2nd gear try standing up and wheelying and getting the front end higher and close to the balance point. It can be scary but the point where you feel like your going to flip, unfortunately, is the balance point. 2 strokes are no easy to wheely cuz of their power band but its still very possible. It helps if you weigh a lot. If you weigh a lot the front end isnt giong to be as high where you reach the balance point compared to say a 12 year old that weights 100 pounds. I feel the safest feeling and easiest way to get the front end up is to sit back on the seat not all the way in second gear standing still, rev it up and quickly but smoothly let out the clutch. its going to be different for everyone depeding on your quad and your weight but i feel this is the easiest way to get it up and ride it out before hitting the redline. You can ride good power wheelies in 3rd but they are hard to ride long. Ill be honest. I havent got wheelies down very good and ive been wheelying for 2 years. All this talking isnt going to make you a good wheelier. Practice will. Advise helps but it all comes down to practice. if all else fails... buy a Z400[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] like me. They area awesome for wheelies and balance out amazing. Awesome for power wheelies too. smooth long powerband. when i try to ride em on my blaster after riding the Z the difference is incredible. wheelies feel sooooo short on my blaster. Also on the Z when you let of the gas it slows you down a lot more than on the blaster and that helps to bring the front end down without using the rear break. Go in a soft terrain and flip it on its grab bar to get over it. Its hard to make yourself do but it will help a lot and wont hurt your machine...... if anything at all it will bend the Grab bar a tiny bit. thats not a big deal tho. sorry for the long post. 400ex's are amazing for wheelies too.
