Default grizzly wheelies

everybody thinks only kawasaki prairies are the only four by four that can do wheelies.
WRONG my 660 can do wheelies as good or better then a prairie and just as good as any sport quad

I can't comment on a Prairie, but my 660 never was much for wheelies off the throttle. With the HMF on there, I can get it up off throttle by jerking the bars pretty good, but that rubber band limits its wheelie capability. Put some gears in that thing and it would have no problems whatsoever.

If you can do one as good as a sport quad I want to see you pop it up at 50 and ride it for a mile.

I am with you up until you said "as good as a sport quad". My grizzly will wheelie, but it is an up and down thing, not much distance, and not much control. The Vforce on the other hand is a wheelie monster. No limit to when, where, how high, or how long!!!

Grizz is good............V-Force BETTER

the reason that the priarie does wheelies better is that the grizzly is very top heavy and the praire isn't

My "sport quad" I can wheelie all day long. My cousin has a 660 grizzly and all he can do is bring the front end up and it comes right back down. There is no comparison. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

The reason the prairie can wheelie better than the Grizzly is because its transmission hooks up quicker and it has more low end punch off the throttle. That is exactly why it can wheelie better. I don't think it has a thing to do with top heavy, cause neither of these quads are super heavy on the front end.

IF YOU CAN FIND SOMEONE WHO CAN WHEELIE THEN YOU CAN GO LONG DISTANCES ON A GRIZZLY. YOU JUST HAVE TO KNOW HOW AND NOT BE AFRAID OF A 600+lb. BEAST COMING BACK ON YOU.
