I was watching a video of a guy pull wheelies on an 80cc. When I try it on my brother's 90 I can't do it worth crap... Any tips?

A 90 cc what??? A quad I am assuming? I can wheelie the crap out of a yamaha 80 dirt bike! That is how I got my nickname as a kid in my neighborhood. Ironically, I could not wheelie a trike as well as I could a dirt bike.
I rode a wheelie on my buddy's kid's predator 90 for like 200 yards at a BBQ on Sunday. Put one knee in the seat and use your dominant leg (in my case, the right) to hang back and balance you. It's not too hard. Just gotta find that "spot".
Good luck.

Hang back? meaning lean on the grab bar?

I can ride wheelies forever on my boys LT80, but he broke an axle at the dunes (I think maybe I might have helped it) so I have stayed off of it ever since damn axles are expensive.
I had the RIGHT to remain silent, I didn't have the ability!

the honda 90? Just Rev it to its limit then shift it into gear...probably not the best thing to do but it works. Im 6'2" at 170 pounds. works for me.

revving it to the limit the shifting in is bad news for the gear box. what you want to do is shift into gear then press the shfter down very gently you will find that there is a point where you can revv the engine. you now want to rev it the let the shifter back up. you will be on your ass in no time this way

that is probably a much better way of doing that.

I might want to add that it is a Bombardier DS90. It's an automatic.

Hang your leg back in the air, as a balance, to where if you start to go too far, you can stab your foot down. Careful of your ankle. Put the other knee in the rear of the seat, to where you are riding while kneeling with one knee on the seat of the bike, you know? The other leg handing in limbo in the air behind you

How much do you weight and how did the LT80 hold up when you ride it? (thinking of getting one)Originally Posted by smokinwrench

Teaching quads a lesson
That changes everything. Now you can't rely on power OR clutching to wheelie, meaning all you can do is shift your balance. Meaning what you do is put one foot on the rear grab bar, throw all your weight on it, pull up the bars at the same time, and hope to god nothing breaks on your cheap Taiwanese quad.
