i did it finally

[Scott-300ex]

alright, i went ridin today, and i've been wanting to go for a while to start doin wheelies, so i thought i would be scared but i hit this 3 foot lip thing and got it to the balancing point which i thought would kinda get me rattled but it didnt

so then i go ride and stop and give it hardly any gas and pop the clutch and i got it to the balancing point and rode it for a while in 1st.

Then i try shiftin, but my boots couldn't get under it, so i just put my vans, shoes, on, and i could shift but my front end would always come down, i couldn't shift and keep ridin them

so then i started in 2nd, and i'd be movin like 30mph or somethin and get it up to the balancing point but its hard to carry it forever like that

longest i went was 50 feet or so

so, how do i shift and keep the front end up?

i flipped it once, well, hit the grab bar, i was always afraid it would hurt but i didn't feel anything

so tell me how to shift and keep riding it please



and dang, this pop-tart is reeeeealy good

I love pop-tarts. What kind is it. I never really liked the smore ones. It seemed like they were filled with sugar. Strwaberry is reel good. sometimes i eat poptarts before school but tonight i went to subway and got one of those delicious baked apple pies. MMMM..!


Oh yea wheelies there cool! For shifting do it a couple of times w/o the clutch. It wont do crap, Its a honda. If you wanna reel out the wheelies you gotta get it at the balance point and just play around with the throttle. It won't get to touchy with a 300. Lean back as far as you can and get the balance point. On my kfx that has a yosh pipe and some other good its nearly second to natral to just gas it and let off when it feels right.

when you shift you gotta kinda lean back far to keep it from comin down and once you shift floor it to bring it back up. its a little easier on cement i learned on my road and if you mess up on cement you will deffenatly remember it, so you wont do it agian. it takes a while to get the shifting part down but once you get the 1st to 2nd its all easy from there as long as you arnt afriad good luck with it

i like the strawberry frosted pop-tarts:D

[muddy400EX]

like the other dude said you kinda have to gas it as soon as you shift or the front comes down. i like doin it in 1st for a long time tho, if you gas, brake, gas, brake etc. it usually stays up for a long time:D

shift without using the clutch, It wont hurt it, Ive done a million wheelies and Ive yet to rebuild the clutch

can you shift without the clutch on all 4 wheels,like on a straight road.will it give you more power coming out of a turn:confused:
Oh and i didnt mean to take ur thread or anything,i just didnt want to start one over this little issue cus some people get pizzed:D

I just pull mine up in 3rd gear and I can ride them for a long time.

[nosliw]

it's alright to shift without the clutch as long as you are completely off the gas so you dont have a load on it

i think i read that at atvconnection.com? maybe it was here i don't know, these are the only 2 atv sites i post at so it's one of them.

[YFZ450Ridr]

its called power shifting i believe

and as for shifting on wheelies, i jsut balance in first real good and give the throttle a good blip, hit second and wind it out, then do the same thing in second and go into third. i really have to balance going into third because my 250 doesnt ahve the power to bring it back up if it goes down.

[redlineranger]

every time u shift jus gas it harder..... thats how i did it on my friends 300 and it worked perty good

[Scott-300ex]

yeah, i don't ever use the clutch when i go fast, only if im just shiftin slow, your supposed to not use the clutch or you'll burn that thing up

i wasn't usin the clutch when i shifted wheeling either, i guess i gotta blimp it before and after i shift

and it was strawberry, those and cherry are the best and i didn't like the smore either, to much chocolate:D
