Whats the best way to wheelie a 200x ?????

[jdparsons1]

For you 200x wheelier's ,,,, How do you normally start off a wheelie and keep the wheel up? I used to have 110 and it was pretty easy put it in first and hit the gas. With the manual clutch(which im still getting used to but its not that bad) im not real sure how to start a wheelie. Ive hit the gas once i've already let up off the clutch and am rolling and pulled the wheel up maybe a foot but nothing big.

I havent wheelied a 200x in along time but,,,,,,On my Blaster I can wheelie while moving or from a dead stop.When I'm moving(1st or 2nd gear) I can just lean back and hit the gas.Doing wheelies from a stop requires good clutch/throttle coordination.It also helps to have lower gearing.You have to know where the clutch starts to grab and how much throttle to use also. Practice is the best way to learn.

SIT DOWN, SHUT UP AND HOLD ON. And alot of practice. Josh

Well mine does wheelies easily in first gear. Try that but hold on because it can get a little crazy!!!!

[NOS_350X]

depends on how much power your 200 has some you can just give gas and your up others you leen back and pull up also depends on the traction you have it will take some pratice and bent grab bars but youl get it

On my old 85 200x I just had to give it the gas and the front end would be in there air.

Here ya go man. Here is an article from Dirt Wheels:

We don’t quite know what it is about wheelies, but they sure are fun to do on an ATV. And they’re not just for entertainment either. Out on the trail the ability to pop the front end a couple feet off the ground will make you a better, more efficient (and in some cases a cleaner) rider.

Of course some quads are easier to wheelie than others. Much of it has to do with the type of transmission and clutch used, while in others the so-called "balance" of the machine—its ability to be ridden at a certain angle for a length of time—factors into the equation as well. Fortunately, all quads made today have a rear grabbar that allows the rider to "overcook" it a bit without tipping all the way over backwards, eliminating most of the fear factor when practicing wheelies for the first time.

Following are step-by-step techniques for wheelies on manual-clutched, and auto-clutched four-wheelers. We’ve also included a list of what we feel are the top 10 wheelie quads made today.

Once you have the front end up in the air, the next step is to find the "balance point" of the machine. On most quads it’s the angle pictured here, a point where the quad feels like it can balance on the two rear tires without falling forward or rearward, with you staying put on the back of the seat. Keep it in this position by using both the clutch and the throttle to control the power, and taps on the rear brake to push the front end down slightly if you feel like you’re tipping over backwards. The trick is to make all of these moves quickly and smoothly so the front end doesn’t drop to the ground and you don’t go the other way and drag the grabbar. Once you can keep the quad at the balance point, you can theoretically wheelie forever. Expert wheelie guys can even shift through the gears.

To start your wheelie with a sport or hi-performance quad, pull in the clutch, shift into first or second, rev it up to around 3/4 throttle, sit back, and pop the clutch. Once you start getting close to the balance point, you can use your arms to slightly push or the pull the front end to the right spot, as well as using the clutch and the throttle. If your quad is always pulling to the right or the left when you’re doing a wheelie, one of your tires has lower air pressure than the other.

Auto-clutch quads are little harder to wheelie, but once you get them up, they’re generally easy to balance since the powerband of their engines is so smooth. To get an auto-clutch quad into a wheelie, depress the foot shifter down but don’t let it pop up yet. Then give the quad about half thottle, let the foot shifter pop up into first and at the same time pull up on the bars. Get your weight back, find the balance point, and off you go.

The wheelie-out-of-a-corner is a stylish move you can use to impress the girls. Simply throw the quad into a slide and just as you’re getting forward momentum, pop the clutch, sit back on the seat, and hang on! Top guys can sometimes do one-wheeled wheelies for a moment, but that maneuver will eventually catch up to you. It is best done in the sand so you don’t scrape yourself or your quad up too much.

I dont' know how to wheelie what you have, but i do know how to wheelie an old 82 act185s and it is a manual but it has a centrifical clutch. so i can't help ya much but i can say that it requires alot of practice and very good clutch throttle corrdination though. (used to ride an old quad(don't remember what it was))

[wanta250r]

What I do from a dead stop is I give it a little gas( a little faster than an idle, then almost at the same time I let go of the clutch and open up the throttle. It works good most of the time. twisted

Wheelies+front draw, wet sump engine(i.e. 200X)=KABOOM!!!!

[Kilborg]

You can wheelie a 200x, just don't go trying to do it for all that long. Like wickedfinger said, the inherent design of the wet sump and the placement of the pump will end up toasting your motor if your lofting the frontend for too long.

[jdparsons1]

I'm clueless, what the hell is a wet sump? :shock:

[wanta250r]

The oil pump in the 200x is toward the front of the engine. It pumps oil up to the top of the head to cam and things. When you do a wheelie and keep it up the oil will go to the back of the motor and the oil pump will have no oil to pump so you will ruin your motor. Its ok to do wheelie and hold it for a few seconds -D

[NOS_350X]

i know a guy that rode one for like a mile and never had a problem he could ride one as long as he had gas and there was nutin in his way

[plkmonster2]

was it a dry or wet sump engine?
