I'm sort of a beginner rider... I used to have an ATV when I was a kid, but that was a hot minute ago. I now have an Eiger 400 4X4 Automatic ... Can you do a wheelie on this automatic utility?

 

Hold the brake in while throttle also but dont let the tires spin--just a high idle then kneel on the bacl with one foot --- let off the brake and hit the gas hard leaning all your wait to the back --- worked for me on my 350 tb auto

 

Does that mess up the brakes? I'll probably bust my *** a couple times, huh?

 

i dont know about the brakes but yeah in order to learn how to wheelie good u r going to have to tkae a couple of falls.

 

Yeah this mammajamma is 590 pounds dry!

 

Something about 600 pounds coming back on top of you (or me) just doesn't sound to appealing to me. Come to think of it...neither do the dollar signs in my head when it comes time to fix what breaks, on you AND the bike, when it goes over! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

I guess I'm just getting old and like to keep the shiny side UP! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

 

Good luck man, I never even thought of trying to do a wheelie on my utility. The 400 EX sure, but this 600 lb beast can stay on all fours ! ! !

 

It will hit the rack first

 

LOL!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Yeah, then bend the rack and tear off the rack mounts...then it will crack up the plastic right before it tears up your seat and will then progress to your handlebars and bend them and tear off the hydraulic resevoir and ruin all your switches.......you get the idea where I'm going!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Naw, it won't be that bad.....would it? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

It doesn't hit the rack unless your too slow hitting the brakes. I never did any damage forcing a quadmaster to wheelie did smack the rack once. Scared me more than anything else just don't try it without your helmet. Seen people get scared and jump off just to watch it come back down on the wheels and roll forward a short ways. Just hit the rear brakes if the height of the wheelie scares you and it slams back down. Doesn't matter that it weighs 600 pounds half the guys who have Prairie 650 or 700s do wheelies. I had to do one the day I test drove mine in the parking lot of the dealership. Gave the salesman a heart attack but he got over it. If it is something you want to do just use your head. The part where you fall and have to really work at it is when you are trying to ride the wheelie for any distance. That is the part I'm still working on is finding the balance point to ride it for more than just 30 feet or so. I will have it before this summer is done though.
