right now i have a 220 bayou. I really want a 300ex.Im 13 and 6'0.I have no experience with a clutch. could you tell me about HOW TO USE THE CLUTCH AND IF A 300EX WOULD BE RIGHT FOR ME. THANKYOU

 

First of all If you want to kow if would be right for you im going to need more information. What kind of riding do you do , trails , sand ect. Are you going to race it? If not are you going to jump it? How much do you wiegh? The 300ex is a pretty good all around machine.

For the clutch. The shift pattern on it is 1-N-2-3-4-5. You start the bike in neutral then pull in the clutch and press the shift lever down with your foot. That puts you in first. The you rev the motor a little bit then let out the clutch , but dont just dump it.That will make ya move. When you shift from gear to gear (1st - 2nd , 2nd-3rd...) you let of the gas pull in the clutch , shift up and then let out the gas and the clutch simutaineously. <-- cant spell. There pretty easy to get used to.

 

I weigh 140 lbs and plan to do a little jumping but not high. Can you also tell me how to ride without doing an wheelie?

 

Yeah, dude the only tricky thing about useing a clutch is when you get outta neutral into first gear,you have to easily let off the clutch
and then apply some throttle but not too much or you'll do a backflip.
But once you get outta first then just pull in the clutch when you shift gears. And about not doing a wheelie try leaning over the front end of your fourwheeler some and that'll keep the front end down.

Yeah it sounds like a good machine for you.

 

if you are still a little worried about the clutch you can also look into the 250 EX. Great bike and almost as fast as the 300. But I think clutches are funner to drive.
