Anyone have any idea how I can get the front tires up on a Recon? Tried with 1st gear and putting my feet on the grab bars along with quite a tug, but can't get the tires more then half a foot of the ground.  Sad

On my Recon it works putting both feet right on the edge of the rear rack, and just flooring right from like 1/4 throttle, right before the midrange power.  I can easily get it to stand straight up, I have a hard time balancing it though.  Just put as much weight as far to the back as you can.

Hmm, sounds good. I'll have to try it in the dirt first though to make sure I don't crush myself. lol

It's easy Cool
Get on the Grab bar and lean back.  Just before you pull it up give it 1/4 throttle before you pull it up then pin the throttle.  You can get the tires up and get to your balance point if you use your throttle & body right Wink

Make sure you have less than 1/2 tank of fuel sp that the front end is lighter Wink

I can pop a wheelie easy on mine but make shure there is not alot of gas in the tank because it can add 10 pounds to the front end.

I'll try at some wheelies later and get some pics up. I can do a wheelie for about 5 feet if I put both feet on the back rack, 1st gear, and floor it. But that's it is what sucks. Sad Meh, my bro's getting a 250EX tommorow that I can wheelie. Cheesy

My son rode a Recon for a long time and he could ride a wheelie standng on the back rack forever. Sometimes his friends would climb on the back and ride around on the back tires. It seemed he could do that forever.Start it up in second or third gear.

Aie, wheelies don't look like they'll be anywhere near as hard on the rancher. I'll try it tommorow but, give it gas in second and the front end comes right up.
