Default Tips on Wheelies

I've been trying to learn how to do a good wheelie. I am just having trouble getting it up, not matter what i do i can't get the thing off the ground unless i roll it down a hill backwards first then go. Can anyone give me some tips on how to get the machine up Btw i have a yamaha warrior 350. Thanks

first key to doing a wheelie is get the front wheels off the ground, second key to doing a wheelie, don't go over backwards. try punching it from about 1/4 throttle in 2nd gear, if you go to far back hit rear brakes to bring you down.

or just rev it just a little and pop the clutch put one knee on the seat thats the easiest way you dont really have to worry about flipping as long as you have a rear grab bar

Maybe its just my machine or something cause ill gun it and i'll just go faster it wont get off the ground lol. My friend says he has done it on my machine before, my guess is that i'm too light and don't have enough weight on the back of the machine.

warriors arent easy to wheelie, you really have to try with em to get em going, they've got quite a bit of front end weight. I've got mine lifted up pretty good by sitting WAY back on the seat and punching it in first. But like I said, it's not easy.
