i was wondering if wheelies or jumps hurt this type of bike? if so what does it affect and should i stop doing these things[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

If your riding a Recon or something, or anything that is.. DONT put it between gears and rev it up and pop the clutch, i find that rather hard on them clutches. I have replaced one already in mine, and that will be the last. LAter

 

only idiots tell you to hold the gear down rev then pop. wheelies only hurt if you do that or fall down. find a small slope. going up hill just rev it real fast and go. that won't hurt.

 

If your talking about the old 86-90 fourtrax 250 utility machine then yes jumping will hurt it cuz the suspensiont isn't made for jumping and totally sucks.

 

If you are riding a recon you will be able to do a wheelie with eaz. It isnt real bad for it but if you do it alot and alot of times you might notice your quad start to squat in the front, because those front shocks are getting worn out from being lifted then pouned back down too many time. Jumping alot will also effect this. If it is a 85-87 Honda fourtrax you are riding I wouldnt try it because of their front suspension. Those J-arms are a very bad set up. I had an old 84 TRX 200 with the same set up and a broke my frame on it. Of course I was ridin the $h!t out of it.
