Default Raptor 660 question

On my raptor 660, I can't get the backend to slide around fast corners, it keeps wanting to wheelie and flip over on its side. It has the stock rear axle. Is there anything i can do to fix this prob.

Also when i do a wheelie and ride it for a long time the motor seems to wanna cutout and die, i guess cause it runs the gas out of the overflow tube. Has anyone else experienced this problem. Is this fixable.

thanks
Mike

The lower the air pressure you run, the more traction you get. So to get your tires to slide better, run the maximum pressure. When your tires wear out get razors, the will slide better than the stock radials. The tippyness is a raptor trait. I've heard of good things from making the raptor wider +4, and longer +4.
