Try putting your knees on your seat, and your feet in your rear grab bar, and pull back on the handlebars. Try doing it that way until you gain a little more weigh, or go up a hill and at the top try.

Try this...

Stand up and lean forward on the bike get your RPM's real low in first and drop your weight back on the seat hard and yank up on the handle bars, at the same time crank the gas. This may work.

Good luck! Just remember BE CAREFULL Being new with wheelies it will suck to get it up and then bring it right back over on you the first time!

The rear grab bar should save the wheeler from falling back on you....I used to wheelie and fall back on my grab bar just to goof around and the bike never came back on me....if you go slow you'll be alright....going fast is a different story.

If you cant figure out how to wheelie on your own, you would probably hurt yourself if somone told you how. That or your machine is messed up. Slippin clutch or something.

Get RID of those Kenda dominators,and replace them with some Outsu's (factory 400ex tires) and you will be able to wheelie no problem.

factory tires!?!?!

they are over priced, 2 ply, and they are crap. holeshots, razr's, razr 2's, anything are better then factory tires.
