how to make a wheelie machine?

jlc84cam350 · 04-26-2011, 04:54 PM

hello i have an 08 ltz400 and just installed a jet kit, ct racing exhaust and k&N filter.

While i was jetting i took it out for a ride without the front fender/light and boy wa it ever a blast to drive!!!! i was lifting this thing in 5th with a small clutch tap!

Now i i reinstalled the fender and light and am having trouble lifting it in 4th

, what i wanna know is what things can i do to get the front end lighter than what it is stock?

I Don't want to completely remove the fender. Imight buy a used one and cut it where the wheels are and not install a light just for messing around, is their anything else i can do?

BTW i don't want to change sprockets i don't wanna go any slower than whatt it is right now.

lighter wheels and tires. put a raptor or yfz type of coolant overflow bottle on the subframe and removed the ltz one on the radiator.

Get a fat friend to sit behind you. It will pop right up.

A pair of 2play will do

lighter/smaller front rims and tires, race cut the front fenders, remove the head light, remove the front bumper, remove the radiator shrouds, put a shorter swingarm on, or just put more power into the motor
all of those will work

Just put a HUGE sprocket on the rear... Then you can do wheelies in 3rd and 4th at like 2 mph. But on the real it dont matter what your on knowing how to actually ride a wheelie is the most important thing.... If you ask me there overrated... The kids love them tho so ill do um for them.

to me its not worth setting you quad up for wheeling.. because why would you want to wheelie all the time.. unless your a stunter.. so why not just leave it the way it is and just improve you wheeling throughout the gears.

jlc84cam350 · 04-27-2011, 09:08 PM

i just like the feeling of lifting the front wheels up while your doing 80km/h. I don't do it for show i do it cause i love doing it!

zookie400 · 04-27-2011, 09:43 PM

stiff suspension helps too.

but then when you want to do normal riding and hill climbs your SOL.. idk its your quad and if you like wheeling do it. but you might regret doing all the changes to it. when you wana go trail riding
