Try standin up restin the backs of yer legs on the plastic. And pull on the handle bars for wheelies. U can try it on jumps JUST becareful you dont pull too much and go over.

First gear just takes slamming on the gas. 2nd takes slamming the gas in the right rev range, sitting on the back of the seat and pulling.

Hey,

i just don't understand this problem. honestly, i'm having a hard time keeping my front end down when i try to jump stuff.

but if you want to pull a wheelie, put it in 1st, low speed, stand up, gun the gas and pull back on the handles. same thing applies for 2nd gear. i haven't had a place to try 3rd gear, but i've got a feeling it'll come up in 3rd as well. i personally don't like the practice of popping the clutch to get the front end up because that puts a lot of stress on a lot of parts very quickly.

have fun, be careful, wear your helmet, and try this on grass first (not the road).

cheers,
bigmac

I used to have a warrior and i could wheelie and jump all i wanted with that thing. First thing's first, a real wheelie shouldn't have to involve dumping the clutch. Does it not look sweet when you can come out of a corner and pull up the front end???? what you could use is more power, but i can understand the amount of money that goes into that. So what i suggest is the same as the couple other guys and just stand up and give the throttle S$#%!!!!! Man i know that will work, that what i used to do and it worked for me, as for the weight, i am only 140. And i dont see you pulling a wheelie in 3rd, that involves some clutch work. As for jumping, small or big jumps, before you hit the jump make sure you are going to hit it in a gear when you are at higher revs, then as your hitting the jump, dont let off the throttle, and if the front end still drops, give it some gas next time. I wouldn't suggest leaning back too much, its a bad habbit to get into, because you are almost to the point of loosing your control if you get too far back!!!!

I think everybody else on here gave you some pretty good tips, so no need to repeat what was already said, but one thing to add that is very important (and probably why you are having trouble) is TIMING. Pulling up and nailing the gas at the right time is very important. It's also important what RPM's you are at...If you hit the gas to high in the revs you'll get half way up in a wheelie and then you'll run out of power and it will fall, or if you hit it too soon (which normally 4 strokes don't have this problem) it won't come up either.

My suggestion is much like the others. Go out in 1st gear and take of slowly so you are only going a couple MPH, and then throw your weight back gas it, you'll want your butt to land on the seat right as the power is coming on and it will come right up. Take note that 1st gear isn't the easiest gear to "ride" a wheelie in, but it's the safest to practice in, and if you learn to ride one out in first you'll have no problem in the higher gears.

Try to practice on the grass and on a flat surface...Typically your grab bar will save you in this situation but don't rely on it. The quad can be easily throw sideways and could end up on top of you.

The first thing I suggest learning is the back brake. Once you can get a wheelie going, just practice bringing the quad up and hitting the brake to drop it back down. Control is the key...controlling the gas, the clutch, and the brake is all there is to it.

Good luck man...My buddy has a Warrior and can ride some pretty sick wheelies with it...they are nice wheelie machines. Check out the vid clips I made (if you haven't already) on www.vtextreme.com.

Take it easy.

-Josh

On the jumping... speed really isnt the issue... you can land on all 4... or your rear wheels doing a jump in first if you do it correctly. Speed helps make the jumps more fun but the only 2 things ya gotta know to land right doing jumps is to really get on the throttle right before you jump... and lean back. You can pull up and come to a complete stop 3 feet from a 2 foot drop ledge and land on all 4 easy just getting on the throttle hard and leaning back.
