getting the bike up on two of the side wheels. with enough power you can power from this position to a one wheel wheelie. it can be hard on the bearings but i have had no problems yet. although it wont hurt the spindles and hubs as previously stated, just caused the bearings to wear prematurly due to the increased side load.

mid 2nd gear, start to turn to the right, and once you feel your weight being shifted to the left make a sharp turn to the left and throw your whole body weight to the outside.

riding them in big circles is easy, but after 30minutes or so riding them in a straight line for as long as you want isn't too hard.

all u hav to do is turn but lean towards the outside of the turn and give it a little gas and it will pick up very easily.

Not easy at first, but once you get them down you can do them all day. Mine's almost 50" wide up front and 50" out back; you just have to shift your weight a little more than a stock width quad.

It's like riding a bicycle, once you learn you never forget! :blah:

forgot to mention that standing up helps a lot. gives you the room to really jerk the bars and throw your weight around.

i can do them on my friends yfz that is about 50inches wide. just have to jerk harder :o

i could do them all day on my blaster that was 48 inches wide. Although on my 400ex with aftermarket suspension it is IMPOSSIBLE. I had ZPS TCS and there was no way to get it up and ride it. Although i have flipped it before lol
