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?

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
