Hi, can doing wheeleys damage the quad? coz today i was just messing about and was doing them for about 1hour and half on a 30ft stretch, but now i can do them ill just be doing them now and again when im out?

 

Hi not until you go too far...then yes then can damage the back of your quad. If you keep it going and do not spill then you should be ok.

 

What about the engine can it damage that?

 

Not if you are not over-reving it.

Also if it is an auto clutch (it is if you are riding a 250 ex) you can cause damage by reving it up and then shifting it to get the front end up.

You should be able to ride a wheelie on a 250 ex by simply giving it gas and pulling back on the bars.

 

its not gonna damage ur engine, its basically the same thing as going fast in a drag race or w/e... unly ur front end is rising. if u take it too far and tip it backward than it will be bad it will hit ur grab bar and maybe bend it. just make sure ur not keeping it in a low gear and hitting the rev limiter or it will be bad like Madwolverine said.

 

i usually ride it in 1st towards the end off the gear and go back down, i dont ride the gear out

 

Try it in second. Once you get it up you can stay up alot longer[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

No NOT good for the motor...why? because one side of the sleeve is not getting enough oil so therfor making more metal to metal contact. I have never had a problem with my 4-strokes and I can ride a wheelie untill I get bored. BUT it still isnt good.

 

If you come back on your grab bar just hit the back brakes. Though i dont see why it would damage your engine. We ride wheelies all the time and have never had a problem.
