i have a 2001 raptor660 with a white brothers pipe,uni foam filter,n jetting. i wanna learn how to do some trick wheelies and how to keep the front end up for a long time but without going that fast. anyone with a raptor would know this is hard because of how high first gear is.
if any one could give me some tips i would appreciate it
thank you for your help

 

The front is going to be way higher during a wheelie if you want a slow wheelie rather than a fast one, but try to pop the clutch. That usually how my friends get their Raptor's up going slowly.

 

the faster you go the easier wheelies get. i cant ride a wheelie more than 30 ft in 1st or 2nd. in 4th i go for well over 300ft. probably longer if i had room!!! u just gotta find that happy place where the frontend will almost stay up without giving it gas...but this means u are about to stand it on the bar. kinda scary at first but u the more u try it the more confidence u will have in your machine/abilities.

 

are these with your feet on the pegs,or with 1 on the grab bar, ext.

 

also does any one know how to stand er up on the grab bar with out crashing?

 

hold on tight...standing it up is kinda like crashing....u cant really get it back up with out gettin off and pushing it over, tho ive seen my friends do it goin rather fast in 1st or 2nd and hit the back brakes and keep a wheelie going.

 

i will deffinatly have to try this did u succesfully do it your self?

 

ive never tried it...i dont feel like breaking a grab-bar/subframe

 

do you wheelie first then hit the back brakes, or hold the brakes and then give it gas

 

aight heres what they do...in either 1st or 2nd do a wheelie and stand it on the bar still moving. then they tap the rear brakes to get it off the bar, and before the front end hits the ground they open her up and ride out a wheelie. i think mike even shifted one out through 4th on his R.
