I'm uploading a wheelie vid now. It's at glamis though so don't expect some mile long wheelies. Just messing around doing wheelies in the dunes. Will post the link in a little bit.
Here it is.
Just keep practicing, you'll get it. I sit far back on the seat when I do it on my 350X. I can run them for 1/4mile in 4th gear. Throttle control, balance point, and knowing how much to work the rear brake. I can't do it as good as some, but I think I do ok.

Alot of times its the fear of going too far that keeps people chasing the throttle because it isnt up high enough. The balance point is pretty vertical. I suggest you grit your teeth and deliberately hit the grab bar a bunch of times to get rid of the fear. Its one of those things that will just 'click' after awhile. Ive got a thread with a bunch of pics and vids here somewhere called weekend pics.
te first thing I would do i I were you, is let air out of your rear tires (down to 2 or 3 pounds). It seems much easier for slow wheelies like this. If you ride a wheeler with short rear wheels (18 or 20 inchers) its more likely youll have to do a 2nd, 3rd, 4th gear etc power/balance wheelie. tall balloon tired ATCs are pretty easy t do wheelies goin really really slow.
definitely find the balance point, i started back on a yt 60, i will try to post a recent wheelie vid.
All riding pictures or videos posted on the forum whether linked or attached must depict the riders wearing minimal safety gear (This means a helmet). If you post pictures of you or your friends riding without a helmet then theres a fair chance the post will get deleted. If in life or death circumstances where you absolutely positively HAVE TO post a picture of someone riding without a helmet then draw one onto them with Windows paint or similar application.
