I don't know what kind of Warrior ya'll are talking about, but I've never had a problem riding a wheelie on mine. Shifting while the front is in the air gets interesting, though. I usually take of in second, just a little off idle, slip the clutch and goose it, the clutch out and up she comes. The shift into 3rd is hard. It seems to want to either drop back down, or kick back onto the grab bar. From there, 4th goes pretty smooth, and 5th even smoother. Make sure you have plenty of room. <--- Really!! I ran my bike skidplate first onto the hood of my Samauri. I kinda stopped quick. Be careful out there.

You should be able to ride wheelies on a warrior for sure. When I had my 300ex I would just pop the clutch in 1st or 2nd and it would stand right up. I would sit far back on the seat and pull up on the handlebars right as I drop the clutch. On the street I would be slowly moving in 1st and then punch it when I drop the clutch into 2nd and I would shift to 3rd and 4th with the tires up. Once it was up I could ride with only one hand and wave to the girlies. After doing it for a while it gets very easy. I have an automatic 99 Scrambler 500 AWD now and I can just give it gas from a stand still and ride a wheelie as far as I want. I think it weights around 525 and it easily stands up. Practice in the grass from a dead stand still, put it in first gear, sit on the back of the seat and as you let go of the clutch hit the gas. Don't rev it wide open and let the clutch go, but punch it as you let go of the clutch. TIMING, TIMING, TIMING. As it stands up, keep the gas steady, after you master the first gear start try it in second. Good luck

I own a "00" 300EX. I am 5'10" and 160lbs. In first and second gears. I just hit the gas and the front comes up. In third, I have to pull up on the bars. And in forth I have to pop the clutch. NO luck with fifth gear wheelie's unless I'm going down a hill or something.
My advice. Give your Warrior a wake up call. What I mean is. Put a pipe and jet kit on it. That will give you the extra pep that you may need to pop that front end up. I have seen Warriors ride wheelies for days. So I know that the machine is capable of doing so.
Good luck and don't get hurt.

Cstark, it's no big deal but I just thought I'd let you know that if you read my post you would see that I have a K&N Filter, Jet Kit, and SuperTrapp Racing Series Silencer. I also have a Wiseco piston kit.

oops, I didn't see that. My mistake.

 

My buddy use to ride a warrior and he could wheele and ride it as long as he wanted. I think he started in 2cd gear, gave it a little throtle and let the clutch out fairly quickly. His warrior was stock and he weighs somewhere around 200pounds. He now rides a lt500r and can do the same on it. I have a 400ex and wheeling is no problem in any gear. But I am working on finding the balancing point and keeping it there so I can ride a wheelie like he can. Don't know if this helps or not but your warrior should be able to wheelie good.

I want to thank everyone for there help, this is the way the forums should always work. I was out riding this weekend and I was able to get the front wheels in the air with relative ease. Obviously the problem before was that I wasn't getting back far enough on the seat. With a bit of a bump, I was able to hold a wheelie for about 40 feet. However without a bump, I have only been able to wheelie in first gear and only for a short distance.

Thanks again

I have a 98 300EX with a jet kit, filter, and pipe on it. I have no problem just sitting about mid-seat and rolling on the throttle in second gear. It comes right up and then I just feather the throttle and shift gears till I either I run out of space or run out of gears. I do agree that you should work on the important stuff first and if you get all of that perfected then riding a wheelie will just come natural.

Just put the 300EX in third gear at a standstill, rev the motor up (alot), pop the clutch and lean back with a slight yank on the bars. Then just cruise across the dry lake beds with your two wheeler.

When shifting while doing a wheelying do you us the cluch or just power shift, because i cant keep my end up going into second.
