its somethin called lack of skill.... you should be able to wheelie with out having to barely give any throttle at all.... try to find balance point instead of using all power.... its all balance point and brake control, get that down and you can go for miles, trust me i ride a blaster and i can go forever.....

steves95ta

yea im just learning i just got mine thanks
u do it in first gear ???

PhearCVBz

Naw, I wouldn't call it a lack of skill.....Just lack of practice or wrong technique. Sounds friendlier .

You have to make sure the quad is at the balance point....every time it drops below then you have to give it more throttle to pick it back up which in turn means you will be going faster, and if you do that enough you'll run out of gear.

The faster you are going the lower the balance point is.

If you want to maintain a wheelie without running out of gear the best way is to always stay at balance point or above....you can go above balance point and let the quad "coast" a little, sometimes requiring brakes....

I'm not really sure what sort of tips will help you out exept for practice. Just sounds like you aren't getting the front end up high enough. It's all about feeling...

steves95ta

ya the front end is low should i be rollin or completely stopped which is the best way to really learn how to do a wheelie

PeeWee

just practice, i do em in 1,2,3,and 4th gear... if u get good enough at riding balance point you can pull in teh clutch just a hair, thats how u can shift them while up in a wheelie, its kinda tricky unless you get pretty good at the wheelie... ive clicked up 3 gears while doin a sit down wheelie by that time ur movin pretty fast... i find it helps on the blaster to get up in a wheelie and then pull ur body up closer to the tank with ur arms so ur at balance point better... just make sure you know how to use brake controll... otherwise ur gonna eat it hard if ur movin fast....

ps. if u didnt know it helps to take the air outa the tires a little... make sure they are even tho cuz otherwise you'll coast to the left or right....

BigNasty

its easy man...i clutch mine up in first gear and then shift i can run through all gears the way "I" can do it is i have it way back and i dont have the gear revved out b4 i shift ....i got 4-5 miles on Video yall be watching for it this February....www.StrictlyVertical.com

TILLER

no need for clutch .. i hardly ever used it!!!

PeeWee

on the blasters you do sometimes... sometimes u get lucky and can pop it in tho.... so i guess its just trial and errror

BadAssRR

You should be able to shift without using the clutch. I do it all the time on my bikes. Its a must if you want to ride wheelies long. Just when you run outta gear, let off a lil bit and click up. I can ride for miles. On my Warrior I can pull up (without the clutch) in first and I can ride all the way thru sixth. Just takes practice

Hazen

Keep a little pressure on the shifter with your toe. Get the quad a little over the ballance point. When you let off it you keep pressure on the shifter and it will pop right in. Then you can get on the gas again and do the same thing in the next gear.

steves95ta

on the blaster i hafta clutch it or it wont really pop up

BadAssRR

Well it should. I ride my friends Blaster all the time. Its liek a second bike to me. It pops right up. I think you arent tryinnough. Just nail it and pull up. Make sure you are almost in the powerband then nail it and once it starts to come up3/4 of the way shift.

RedRebel

I was wheelieing in 3rd without trying on a blaster..blasters are easy to wheelie

MartyB

hey peewee i shift gears on my old ladies blaster without a clutch all the time...... like hazen said you just aint getting it up high enough... balance point is pretty high on a blaster... just practice...




peewee hit me up with a pm if you want lessons... LoL


seriously i just need a place to ride!

steves95ta

badass should i clutch it or jsut shift without clutchin?

MartyB

no clutch muscle and throttle... make sure you can get traction tho...

Not a must to ride long wheelies!!!! If you want long wheelies get TO the balance point and you will never have to shift or run out of gear!! 50's, quads, or bikes. I can ride my bike for miles w/o shifting. Also on the quad. Thier is no need to shift!!!!!!!!! Only reason you should shift is if you want to go faster bring the wheelie down some speed up and shift! If you ARE at balance point you will not need to shift in any gear!! Just don't want you to get the wrong advice!!

steves95ta

hey thanks for all your guys help im gettin better practing all the time its fun

i have all these scrape marks on the road from the wheelie bar its cool hit the brakes and it come right down its fun
