I think it's funny how people do things so much differently than others.. Like I said right off the bat, you kinda have to develop your own technique.the problem with powering it up when learning is that it comes up real slow before hitting the balance point, once you hit the balance point, your going pretty fast, and if your not good with hitting the rear brake, your gonna power right over lol. when i used to power wheelie, i would constantly have arm pump and get tired cuz i was fighting it up, then fighting to keep it from flipping backwards.
any yes dead stop, clutch it straight up is the best way and safest way, if ya go to far up, you just hit the grab bar and jump off
I don't have to try to power wheelie my 490. When it gets into the powerband you have to lean forward to keep the tires on the ground!!
If I want to do a high speed power wheelie it's as simple as shifting my weight back, and hang'n on. lol
Weight transfer wheelies are easy on my quad to, but mostly because it's so light.. I can ease outta the clutch, and walk it just using the throttle. :evilface:
I also find keeping the front brakes locked up, help you to keep control of quad during the wheelie. I also just let the grab bar drag on the ground, and only use the rear brake when I wanna set it back down. lol
