I was going around a simple turn today and about flipped it.I was only going in a slow 3rd gear when i started making a wide turn.The quad caught traction and was on two wheels. Is there anything i can do to it to improve? Is the 250ex and 400ex that tippy?

 

you just gotta learn to ride. lol joking cant help you on that one

 

It will not be as tippy after awhile b/c the tires will have less traction(of course).You can get your wheels spaced out a choosen amount of inchs if you want. But if you don't race a lot it's not really needed. If you trail ride a lot you may not be able to go as fast in them b/c of the narrow trail and wide wheel space. It's up to you.

 

What I like to do when going around a corner is "lean" thats right I lean so the quad doesn't tip! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] I don't understand it but it sure seams to work for me. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

The 250EX is even worse and the 400ex is obviously not as tippy cause of it's wider stance........[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

I figured out how to lean when my Raptor was upside down on me. The Raptor was tipsy that day because it had drunken some of that 10% achohol fuel. J/K

WITH BALOONEY STOCK TIRES, ANY BIKE IS TIPPY!! I replaced all the stock tires on my sport bikes with 11" wide Holeshots, on ITP 9X9 rims. These rims are 1" wider than stock or Douglas, and have a 1" greater offset. This gives about +4 wider in the rear, plus you have a square profile tire rather than a rounded balooner. This is a quicker fix than going to a wider axle. Why manufacturers sabotage their own bikes with lousey tires, I do not know!!! Tires and rims are the first mod you should make on any bike.

 

The 400Ex ia really easy to "Slide". I don't have any trouble with tipping.
Hey Chet, Watch out with the "10% Alcohal Fuel" I know it's dangerous. It really makes your quad have a mind of it's own. HaHaHa!!!

 

Ya figured it out today,just lean like hell to one corner and you'll be fine.I got to get back to riding and listing to this kick @ss 400ex next door.

 

I've found the 300ex to be very easy to keep all four wheels on the trail, even at high speeds, it just requires some body english. On the other hand if you want the tires to come off the ground it can also be very easy. It all depends on how you position your body. Front and side wheelies are easy to pull.

 

My 250ex wouldnt go on 2 wheels unless you try and make it.Just get some wider tires .
