how bad is it for your quad

1) reving the engine really high (both sport and utility)
2) doing wheelies for long periods of time
3) doing burnouts
4) riding on paved road

thanks in advance

Well dude since you have a 200sx I would say
1. Doesn't hurt unless there is no rev limiter

2. Once you get it up your good to go

3. not to bad

4.like killer said

What you want to try to do is a burnout, while doing a wheelie on a paved surface revving it really high.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

1. bad , especially if you dont let it warm up first

2. no problems

3. no problems i've found

4. dont ride on paved roads very much on a honda unless you have an aftermarket carrier, pavement is killer on bearings, cut their life span in half

killer250x,

the lowering kit is removable, you can take it on and off, so it doesn't permenentaly lower your quad,, the suspension doesn't get any softer, only as soft as you set your shocks, like any other time,, and yeah, if you run your stock shocks, or any 300ex aftermarket shocks than the quad isn't any good for anything but drags, tt, and barrel races, but, i run a warrior shock on my lowering kit when i race, this allows me to run a longer shock, giving me more travel, and it makes you lose only about an inch or so in ground clearance. i've found this setup to work greatfor motorcross, or i leave my stock shocks for tt racing. as for the paved roads and your bearings, when you turn a curve in a car, one of hte rear wheels gives so it turns easier, but on a quad, both tires turn at the same power all the time, and on a curve on pavement it puts everything in bind in your rearend, but on dirt, the rear end can spin adn slide, keepin this from happening,, you'll notice i have a lonestar axle carrier, this is why, i ruined my rear end from road ridin,, a twin row carrier like mine prevents these problems some, and a tapered rearend helps even more, but for stock carriers, its murder,, hope i helped you out some

I can't believe you. All of your questions are common sense. Sorry just my opinion. If I have offended you sorry in advance, but people who ask if it is bad to do a wheelie are usually a bunch of fricken dumb-a$$es
