I recently wrecked my p650. so now im in the market to get a new quad for me and my brother (12) and sister (17) since it was also their quad. but me being 16 i dont want another ranch quad , and the only place i ever take my quad is to pismo sand dunes and you dont need a ranch quad for dunes. but my sister thinks that if you barley get on the throttle of the V that you will instanly flip over . I now this is not true since ive ridden a V. But nobody in my famly belives me since they think im CRAZY CUASE I LIKED TO POP WHIEELES ON MY P650. So can you pleas tell my sister that the front end will stay down if you want it to escpesally on sand. And tell my dad (who will be reading this) that whieles are a normal thing to do and everybody does it. thanx[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

I've ridden one on pavement before and the only time it came up is when I stabed it...but to be 100% truth ful if a 12 year old is going to be riding I would get something smaller...actually he isnt suppose to be riding ne thing over 90 cc...

 

hey, i know nothing about the v but wheelies are normal.....just as long as u keep it under control and know your limits

 

my brother is ridding a trx 125 so he is nothing to worry about [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

DO NOT let a 12 year old drive a 700cc ATV. Being able to drive it and being able to handle it safey and responsibly as a safe recreation is an other thing, and I think your dad will agree. The thing here is if something happens you have to live with it for the rest of your life. BTW nothing unless alltoys makes it just flip over... it's the driver that makes it flip over.... these machines are only as safe and responsible as the driver. Please note how many 11 year olds are driving on your highways... AND Sorry to be trouble here but wheelies are not normal for unexperinced riders/ unresponsible and are something that only experince can cover... if you are experinced and responsible then that's a different story.... I don't think letting a 12 year old drive a v is being very reponsible. I would go with a 400 Like MnFriesen said.

 

kawi650 my brother is ridding a trx 125 and i am a very experenced rider i have beat rapptors on mx traks with my 650 when it ran. i have ben riding since iwas 9 years old . I would be able to hold a whieele on my p650 till 45 mph then it ran out of ponies. i climbed a hill i shoulnt have and that renderd me quadless and im going insan without a quad.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

...you climbed a hill you shouldnt have with a 650 praire...and now you want a 700 quad taht is what...150 # lighter...with being a sport machine and you already tryin to race a raptor on your old prarie this actually sounds more like trouble then first thought of...limitations, you have to know yours and with a sport quad chances are you are going to set them een higher causing more danger to you and other around you...just my .02

 

I let young people ride my V ... and the P650 when I had it ...... but only after I run the throttle limit screw in .

depending on the age of the rder ... would limit the top speed to 20 to 30 mph. The V is very tame with the
screw run in [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
