i want to see you people do a wheelie with out the rear brake and if you dont use the rear good job. it is a lot harder

Posted by: sparta4188

i actually have never used the rear brake while wheelieing, maybe my reaction speed is to slow because i am sometimes lazy

Posted by: 400EXTRA

i can do it for a while, but i can ride one all day with the rear brake

Posted by: jsmith2232

good i thought that people were going to give me a hard time for saying that. j smith ive tried that on my 200x but it hurts to much on the back of my knee. i took off my rear brake because when i jumped and bottomout my cal. hit my pipe. plus it didnt work when i bought it. im going to get it rebuilt this summer.

Posted by: jsmith2232

Yeah, I have the same thing on my 200s and on my buddys 200sx, check out this video I made of my trike doing some muddin'

I never use the rear brake, you cant shift with your foot on the brake.

But when you get into 5th gear its kinda scary knowing you cant hit the brake if you go to far back.

I wish I would have gotten some pics of me doing my thing before I killed my 250x but it kinda happened out of the blue.

dude its easy as hell to do a wheelie without the rear brake.

Posted by: ATC_KING

that video didnt work. hey jokster i know that it is easy to do a wheelie i said that on my first post. what do you mean by you killed your 250X? what is a 250X is it a 4 stroke or 2 stroke?

I broke the counter shaft in the motor and I was tired of fixing it all the time so I parted it out.

Its a 4 stroke. honda 250x made from 87-92. Its exactly the same as the 300ex but its a kickstart and smaller stroke making it 250cc.

Great trike video!!!

not using the rear brake is simple, all about throttle control. here's one from when i had my yfz.......no rear brake up there..

why did you sell it?

Posted by: jd450

good question!!!! i regret selling it SOOO fck'n bad! but......i sold it b/c the plan was to finish paying it off then get a streetbike. well, just after paying it off my truck blew its headgaskets ($2,400!!!!!!!!) so that kinda put a halt to getting a bike. now, i took out a loan for 1K (i used tax returns to cover the rest of the work on the truck) and i've only made one payment so i still owe around $900. im going to the bank this week to see if they will let me extend that loan and i'll get a used R6 or F4i. if not, then i'll have to wait a couple more months until i pay it off.

trust me, i miss that damn quad alot!!!! i should have never sold it.

My Banshee is fun as hell ridin' wheelies. I'm enjoying it while i can before i put my +6 swing arm on it.

Posted by: TXATVRIDER

P.S. No brake either, i think it would mess me up more if i used it it's all about throttle

Posted by: Nate_450R

JD---just wanted to say thats a crazy pic man...i printed it off and showed a budy a while back (we were talkin about different things to try) and he's real close to getting it. but i must say...nice job.

the only time i use my brakes is if im about to put it back on the grab bar...and since my pipe extends about 2-2 1/2 inches past the bar i really dont wanna slam it on the ground. otherwise no...throttle is the way to go.

Posted by: csr250r

i never use the rear brake unless i feel the grabbar hit hard and it start to get swirly. most the time letting off is enough

Posted by: trx400EXtreme

no rear brake is pretty easy once u get the balance thing down.

Posted by: ATC_KING

yeah but if the front starts to go down and you only have 200cc to pull it back up it can be hard.

1986 quadrunner 230 doesnt even hav rear brakes

Posted by: whiteEX

u don't have to ride the rear brake u just have to find ur balancing point and u have to have good throtle control, i have only used my rear brake when i popped the clutch in 2nd gear and it came up fast and hit the grap bar that when i hit the brake

Posted by: Kaleigh

if you turn your idle down and keep your revs high then engine braking will bring the front end back down if you past the balance point.. also its easier to wheelie with an ATC..

Posted by: 400exwheelieboy

jd gotta give u props on that pic. and threadstarter yeah its super easy to wheelie with out rear brake. although when i first started i anialated my back bar from going to far back.

Posted by: ATC_KING

thank you and i have have broke a grab bar or 3 and doing a 12 o 'clock burnouts dont help the swing are and shock.

Posted by: redrider330

well i have never used my brake brake either just when it is geting ready 2 come bac i will 2 let it down but if ur good wit a throttle its real easy and if u have a 300ex bored 30 over and someone fat like me theres a balnce point almost everywhere on the quad lol

Posted by: ATC_KING

well im 130 and only 200cc is kinda hard to get back up

Posted by: LRD450R

well i can't use back brakes becous i do not have them

Posted by: ATC_KING

cool me too

I have the hardest time learning to wheelie on my shee. With so much tire spin, it's hard as a mofo to even get the front end up. I wish i had some asphalt to practice on.

As for my dirtbike, i dont have the balls to try to wheelie that. No grab bar to save me.

Posted by: Dragon1363

S**T..... i tried to ride a wheelie. What the hell did i do wrong??
: )

Posted by: Dragon1363

S**T!!! I tryed 2 ride a wheelie what the hell did i do wrong : )

Posted by: zdowell

I dont get it, so basically you think that if i use my rear brake to wheelie im not as good as someone that does? if your foot is hovering the rear brake what the hell does it matter if i use it. using your rear brake does make it easier but i don't even use it that ofter but i do use it. love to see you guys on a motorcycle and claim you dont use it. there is no grab bar going to save you at 60+ mph.

Posted by: casey_lamm

got to give you props...one heck of a picture.

i use my back brake sometimes usually when i'm trying to ride a wheelie as slow as possible. but ya i could ride a wheelie for miles without the back brake. sometimes i think it's harder to have the coordination to use the gas, clutch, gears, and back brake all at the same time. lol ive been trying new wheelies i'll try to get some pics up

jd450 sweet pic !!

lol i dont use the rear brake on my quad until the grab bar hits and i only used it a few times on the street bike.

love the pic i love the fact you chose to protect your upper body but then wear shorts and tennis shoes ... reminds me of the guys here in florida that will wear a riding jacket like that will no helmet and flip flops

My back brakes got ripped completly off last year. During the summer, i struggled with wheelies the first week or so, finally i had it. I can do perfect slow wheelies and i can somtimes balence it in one place, its tons harder then it would be if i had a back brake but it can be done with TONS of practice. So yeah, for a year i've been riding, and stunting without brakes. Makes it alot more interesting though.

Posted by: klutchbuster250

heres a crappy pic il get more when i go home and get on my comp im on a 250 it sucks o obad lol http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z16/atvrider250/myhigchair.jpg

Posted by: toddreaves04

I can ride 120 feet with out using brakes sitting down on the seat on my 87 250x. I have only been riding sport quads a short time and just recently started practicing wheelies. I have only practiced 5 times so I am hoping to hit 150 to 200 by this weekend (no brake) which will max me out in my yard. Guess I will have to start practicing in the road (dead end with no traffic). I hope to have a video shortly.

when i use the rear brakes i hit them to hard and broke my goggles on the handlebars. now i dont use the rear brake on wheelies

Posted by: ATC_KING

yeah i bet u wont do that agian now lol

Coming from a guy that has been in 3 streetbike wrecks..... Ive flopped 2 wheelies and was ran off the rd at 110.... That rear brake is an ***-SAVER....!! Wheelies are a blast, and a skill, but just beacuse u use ur back brake doesnt make u any less of a "wheelier"...... Being able to CONTROL a wheelie is what its all about... holding the balance point and staying at a constant rate of speed and not accelerating the whole time makes a good wheelie... Lets face it, ANYONE can pop a wheelie... My girl can hold a wheelie for about 50ft on her 400ex and shes rode it about 10hrs total, hell I taught her to wheelie a 250ex in 10 mins... The back brake is a crucial part or contol... Why do u think that stunriders use a rear handbrake??? #1- saftey #2- contol, half of the stunts that the pros do wouldnt be possible without that brake.... If you can hold a wheelie with or "without" the rear brake good for you.... But lemme tell ya, flippin back at 80mph on a 929 with no gear but a helmet will definately ruin your day... Doin 50 on a quad a floppin it is gonna hurt just as bad..... So. in my eyes coverin that rear brake is definately a smart idea.

i dont use brake, i always put right foot in seat or grab bar
