my local fair is having atv sled pulls and they have a 2wd class with 0 to 450cc. i am going to enter my 416 but was wondering if i should start in first or second gear? any tips or advice would be great. i have raced many events but have never done a sled pull. thanks

yeah i heard about the pulls too i dunno if Im going to do it yet though.

are you doing the MX race too?

i would think that you would want to start in first, then maybe shift to second. But ive never done it, so....There is someone on here that posted about pulling about a month ago. Maybe he will see it and post some pointers.

well today i got my hitch made for my 400 and i hitched my 750lb trailer behind it today. i started in 1st gear and it pulled with no problem so i think i will start in first and shift to second if needed. i was thinking about doing the mx race there but i have done those before but have not ever done the sled pulling before. i like to try everything once and the sled pulling is only 20 bucks and the mx is 30 to enter.

i've done this a time or three

the sled i pulled there was no shiftin or you stopped

i ran a a 14f 40r gear setup with 22 maxxis razr tires also had a stock motor on a few of them pulls
but also had a sparks 440

always could start in second and somtimes thrid but had to slip the clutch some

also no rear shock

made a solid bar to replace it and keep it about an 2 inches shorter than the stock shock in the riding position

can run 20 inch tires with 10 to 12 psi

they worked better for the 3rd gear take offs

should i do a first or secong gear takeoff? also should i run 20 inch maxxis razor 2's or 22 maxxis surtraxs? i have stock gearing. thanks

20 razr 2

possible 2nd, but it will take a little clutch slippage

after seein sport quads try 2 attempt pullin don't do it 4 these reasons why
1. spin 2 much not traction
2 rev too high 2 quickly
3 its like doin a tug of war you can either tear and axle out or grab bar
4 really hjard on chains and clutches
5 oullin is an event for utes to shine and have better changes of winnin because they don't rev 2 high 2 quick and they are made 2 tow sport quads are not
