Got no problem getting mine in the air, just not so good at keeping it there.

Not that this has anything to do with wheelying a ute quad, but I have a 86 250es big red that the front wheel isn't on the ground that much. Saves on replacing the front tire. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

i got a rancher and the only way i could wheelie is after getting the wheels to spin then let off the front brake and it wheelies a little but u could get it up there, and has anyone ever gone to far and ontot he rear rack? does it jsut stop there till u push it back down? or will it tip back, and if so will it tip back quickly or slowly enough to possibly jump off and stop it?

Try coming out of a ditch or hitting a bump to get a lift on the front end. Also you may want to use 2nd gear to allow for more revs. I can ride a nice wheelie with a honda 300 4x4 if I use a bump to get it up. Even though it is 500 + lbs it is easy to control on two wheels. I have done the same thing on a 400 foreman as well.

you have to get it rolling very slow (to let te clutch engage) then stab the throttle, pull hard up on the bars at same time while having your body weight back as far as possible. Try standing on the back rack and doing it first to get a feel for it. I can do a wheelie in reverse for least 50'. The easiest way to do this on my prairie is to adjust the diff lock so it is always engaged without having to pull the lever. Wish it had a switch like the grizz. Remember to keep your right foot on the ready at the brake in case things start to sketchy when doing a foward wheelie. With my prairie in low range I can do a wheelie forever using a combination of throttle and brake. once you figure out the balance point it is very easy. hardest part is getting over the reaction that your gonna roll. get r dun
