Does a modded 200 wheelie through 6 gears?

I have a stock 200, but it seems 6th gear doesnt make enough power to hold a wheelie. 5th gear has a nice, long top end pull, and I can go 500-600 feet pretty easily, but 6th gear has nothing. Do the mods help the higher mph power?

If you are pulling 5th gear wheelies on any bike, my hat is off to you!!
Especially since you hint that it's a stock bike.
Sorry I'm no help to you though.

I can't get my 200 to wheelie period. And yes, I know how to ride wheelies on dirt and street bikes. My KTM would wheelie anytime you took a notion. Maybe I ain't holding my mouth right.

Is it neccesary to pull wheelies in 6th? I try NOT to in the lower gears. Maybe a new front sprocket for more snap to bring the front up?

Yeah, I guess that would help. Am I the only one that feels that fall off point when you reach 6th, like theres no power left. Like an overdrive?

a well schooled rider in the stunt biness could, but if my KDX Has the front wheel off the ground in all 6 gears its because I am stuck under it wiggling and hitting the shifter trying to get out from under it.

when the front wheel is spinning, it acts as a Gyro, enabling you to hold the front up longer. In 6th gear you have some speed going, but I would guess the front wheels rpm are slowing causing you to drop the front end. The point where you feel like you will flip over is the point of center for a wheelie. Does that make sense

I am currently at 15 years and I have yet to learn such a lesson Mr. Foots!
