Hey I just reccently learend how to do a wheelie on my 250 timberwolf. But in order to do one i need to give it gas in neutral then shift into first and usually dont have to pull up at all. I normally either need flat land or a small hill to do one. How can i do a wheelie on a Kodiak 400 its automatic so i have no clue on what to do.

im guessing the TimberWolf is a Semi automatic?

and as for the 400, i doubt it can do a wheelie without alot of complex body english, pavement, and some luck

-------------------------

Yes the Timberwolf is an automatic. Does anyone know if what im doing is bad on the engine, im pritty sure im not overreving it and im very close to full throttle when i shift into 1st. Also for perfomance if i wait longer in 2nd before i shift into 3rd will 3rd gear be shorter because it feals very long.

i doubt its bad or anything, however its probebly being alot more rough and strenious on the transmition, but its not any different than poping the clutch on a Manual.

-------------------------

Neutral slamming it can't be good for it. When you do that you slamming metal on metal together. When using a clutch to do this your pressure plate and clutch pads are whats making the contact. If you plan on tearing your wheeler up, you should be ok with that method.

I just rejetted my Bear tracker and installed 6 uni filter vents. It will pull the front wheels off the ground in 1st with my 300 lbs. but on the back of the seat with a slight tug on the handle bars. I have to be rolling a litte. I need to drop on more jet and I think that it will come up in 2nd with a little help and a rolling head start.
With my griz, I just us my thumb and nothing else.

I use the thumb on my right hand. Reving it up and dumping in to gear is going to destroy your tranny. Those small CC utility ATVs are not made for riding wheelies.

yea on flat ground on a stock 03-06 kodiak it is mostly not going to happen

It's an autoclutch. Don't rev it in neutral and pull it into gear or bad things will surely happen to the gears.
Just use your foot to put it into gear from neutral and hold it, DON"T LET THE SHIFTER GO. Then you can rev it up and release the lever and up she comes with no gear crashing! It's just popping the clutch.

SO if i hold the shifter up while in neutral and rev then let go it wont destroy my tranny?

Not quite. See, each time you pull or push the shifter it first disengages the clutch. That's how it works. So when you are in neutral and you pull up the shifter, it pulls the clutch and goes into gear, but as long as you don't let it go, the clutch stays in and you can rev it. But it's in gear. If you let it go then the clutch is out, and if you pull again the clutch goes in but then you are in second, too.
Dumping the clutch to pull a wheelie isn't hard on the tranny. Much.

It's not as easy on it as not doing it of course... but chances are it will be just fine.

Am i better off doing the method you told me or the way i used to do it. Which wont be as hard on the clutch. Both are fairly easy to do aswell.

I'm just saying that popping the clutch isn't as easy on a bike as riding it like a granny!
If you keep revving it up and then jamming it in gear you will end up with a tranny in pieces on the road, maybe the very next time you do it.

simple solid advice, dont dump the gears while revving it on that quad, your going to end up with a blown up quad

ive done wheelies on my grizz 660 before. its just really hard. u have to lean back as hard as u kan and if ur lucky itll go up. ive never ridin a wheelie on my grizzly for more than like 10 feet though kuz im only 14 and kant hold it that long. im lucky to even ride it 5 feet, lol.

If your Timberwolf is a 2wd with very little in the frontjust put it in 1st pull ahead slow hit the front brakes then hit the throttle and lean back at the same time and the front should go right up.As for Kodiak put it in low and try the same thingbut realy nail the throttle.Thats how i get my rubiocn up. And if that fails try it on a small hill thats paved.
