LT-R stability

hey guys i'm wondering how stable the LT-R is (I assume very stable) have any of you guys ever flipped it in doughnuts or rolled in in highspeed slides/drifts, can bicecles be done?

Kind of common sense, don't you think?

Being 49 inches wide, and lower....it's going to be more stable then a 46 inch bike.

But, no matter how stable a bike is, it can always highside, if you push it hard enough, and arn't in enough control to sense it.

Its proven to be very difficult for me to flip, i ride HARD and i didnt even come close yet .

These are very stable around corners. I have not even come close to flipping yet...

i cannot preach this enough, if you dont hold out the throttle through the lip of a jump it will nose a little but i have had that thing at like 75 degrees of a table top and i braced my knees and got ready to go over and it just soaked it up and the 50 inches brought me down. amazing i was sure i was going over. there very stable.

I agree. Stock suspension setup, I have fell nose first if I'm not paying attention but it's never as bad as I expect, and have never went over. Stay on the throttle and you're pretty much golden. Sideways... man, if I'm not on the track, "drifting" is my favorite thing to do on this bike. It gets sideways, and stays sideways so effortlessly and controllably. Almost could care less about reverse in trails because it's so easy to whip around in nearly any trail. Love it...

the ltr is the most stable atv ever, no wonder some racers ride with full stock suspension and a-arms setup
