they wheelie very very easy, just its a little harder than ur typical 400ex because of the varying powerband to keep it up, but i have ridden them very far just because of the power it makes

They're easy to do and easy to ride far. The dales have a great balance point. They were easier to do on my EX but the dale has a lot more power so I can save more wheelies if I start to lose them.

Wheelies are way easier to pull up with the cdale but its harder to balance them than the 400ex. Stoppies are easier on the cdale by far. I think its easier to balance it on the front than in a wheelie. Honda is right though about how you can save more wheelies b/c of the power.

I was breaking in the new '03 today and just had to laugh. How many bone STOCK quads will wheelie in all 5 gears? My new neighbor was watching and told me he could take me on his Suzuki 250R. I told him go get it and we'll run for titles, he promptly changed his mind when he realized I was breaking her in and only half throttle. Now he wants to know where he can get one!

What fun!!!:usa :deal:

LOL
people and their quick judgements...they're stuck in the 80's when the 250's were the fastest...without some extensive motor work..the old 250's are fast....but arnt fastest.
I had a guy wanting to race me for titles once.......until i rodw a wheelie in the dunes in 3rd with NO paddles....he became my friend after that....by the way.........easy to wheelie, i cant get enough of the dales!!!! Im tired...and im shure i babbled about something stupid.........youll love the dale...just make shure it has the updates...and change the fuel filter/clean the oil filter often!!!.......they are truly one of a kind. And i absolutely love the front brakes.
