If your falling back press the rear break and when your going forward pull back and lean back and hit the throttle a little bit too. Its so hard to ride a wheelie on a raptor but somhow i learned to ride them so perfect. I rode a wheelie for a quarter a mile once it was rediculous!!!! After i got a pipe jets and filter i couldn;t do squat. it was so different.. but thats the key!

thanks for the tips

also, what is your method of getting it up, what gear do u do it in and such.

im not a noobie to quads, just sport quads. im used to those big work horses, the only time i pulled off a wheelie was pullin a moose outa the woods

That can only happen to canadians [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] jk

Just put the warrior in first and ride along slowly, pull back HARD and give it some gas. I jetted a warrior once and tried to pull a wheelie on it and it was WAY harder than on my raptor.

The Warrior has a pretty high balance point. If you want to wheelie very far you should be sitting down. Try it in 1st and once you see where the balance point is then try 2nd gear.
I think the farthest I've ridden a wheelie in 2nd on mine was about 50 yards. Usually I just bring the front end up to go over an obstacle rather than seeing how far I can ride a wheelie.
My pics have a couple of the Warrior doing wheelies, one on flat ground, one over a small hill in the neighbor's yard. They were taken the first time I had it out riding just a couple of weeks ago.

what I do on my wolverine is I do it be kneeling on the back of the seat and rack some time I stand too and while in first gear I puch the throtel and pull back (don't have to even pull back hard) and the front end goes up. since first gear is slow for tuourq and I soon come to the fastest I can go I switch to second with my hand on the suicide shifter/hand shifter that I bought from cabelas. and when I maxed out in second then I go to 3rd and so on. the other way I'm sitting on the bike normialy and I wan eather di it in 1st or 2nd gear I half shift (bringthe shift all the way up) stab the throtel and then drop the shifer in to first or second and then the front end pops up. and I do this with 25" mud lites.

i know the eaisiest way to get the front end up! Start doing some nice do-nuts in some sand, get those tires spinning like crazy in 2ed gear, then turn straight and sit regular on the seat. as soon as those tires hookup to the pavement, WHAM..... i learned this 1st hand.
