Default Grizzly wheelies 2006

I got a all stock 06 grizzly 660 how and I can't get it to do wheelies. What is the trick? Also what are some simple mods to improve performance?

Stand on your back rack. Juice it, and at the same time, push down on the rear preload it.

It's all technique and timing. Throw your weight to the back of the seat and pull on the handlebars while gunning the throttle. You might want to start by kneeling on the back of the seat and gunning the throttle. That's how I learned.

Another thing that might help is hold the front brake (if your not on cement) until the powerband kicks in then let go of the brake and lean back. Hope this helps.

So it can be done all STOCK? I liked that video. That was all Stock correcy because the wheels look not stock or is that the only thing? Thanks for the tips guys...

it's all about timing and technique, the grizzly can do good wheelies just preloading the front shocks and then hit the throttle and pull back, but the way you'll learn the easiest and find the least hard on your arms is to stand up put one knee on the seat and hook your foot on the back of the rear rack then preload the front and pull back, but most of it is putting pressure down on the back of the rear rack with your foot that will help the back end bite and the front end come up, i can do wheelies that are over 300 feet long this way on my totally stock 2006 grizzly 660, the fact that it's blue helps it wheelie better though too, green ones don't wheelie as good.
