Practice, practice, practice. That is all I can say. I'm not a huge fan of wheelies, but, I like pulling them while going down a trail and there is a dip or a bump. The Warrior is heavy in the front end so it doesn't inspire confidence when you go nearly vertical. Hondas were made for wheelies!!!!! My sister's 250ex will pop right up in 1st or 2nd. I bought and sold a 400ex and that bike has near perfect balance! My uncle can ride a wheelie on any quad. And shift through all the gears doing it. Dude is an extremely talented rider. If you want a quad that is scary to wheelie, get on an old Mojave. You have to clutch the front end up, but, the swingarm is so short it goes right on the grab bar. lol. Nearly fucked myself up last weekend. Haha! Some of the more powerful quads are actually easier to learn on because you can power wheelie, and it has enough power to just carry the front end. Unlike the more under powered quads that you have to use your weight to keep it up. On the bigger quads you can lean more forward to keep the front end right where you want it, while using the power to keep it off the ground. Leaning forward is a more natural use of your body when riding.
