This is my website, look under tips and pictures page to find out how to do some wheelies. Hope that helps. But, ill be a little more thorough, When you are rolling at about 10 mph in 2nd gear, pull in the clutch, give it a few revs, and with the rpm's up, let out the clutch and give er' some gas. BE SURE to learn how to use the rear brakes, this has helped me more than a few times.

since your just learning how, the raptor can still pull the wheels even in third gear but i recommend using second and pulling up on the bars (alot easier on the clutch).

i would not drop the cluch that just not neccasary and i couldn't see it being that could on the quad... stand up in 1 and floor it ...learn to work the throttle and always keep your foot on the back brake so if your about to flip you can just tap that brake and it will set you right back down

i just started to get good at wheelies on my blasty today, i can do them on my utility as long as i want but its alot harder on mine cuz just got HD port work and couldnt do them very well when it was stock cuz i didnt know how to balnce, but doing them for a month straight on my utility ecourage me to not be scared cuz you wont flip and u got the brake to level you back out, lol i was in 3rd gear today i pulled up and and was riddin it nice then i hit the power band lol and i ended up on the grab bar sparks flyin now i have a flat part on the bar and its its first day being used, (by the way i just got the motor back friday and bolted it on todayand am ridin it for the first time)
