Anytime you raise your center of gravity you increase your roll potential.

Ok Thanks everyone’s
I know that lifting the bike make it more easy to flip and roll sideways , both my question was
Does’ it make it more dangerous to flip backward wild climbing hills. I was just wondering if guys who have high lifter have experience some strange feeling of danger wild climbing hills

the lift will have the same effect front/backwards as it does sideways. this doesn't mean you can't climb hills, it just means you will have to use your body weight more to climb the same hill, or climb hills not quite as steep with the same body english. another thing to do is add weight up front (like a big winch with steel cable, flat fuel can, and other expensive goodies you need an excuse to buy)

If you want to do step hills get your self a two up and the best is a outty max 800 the max is longer and has more weight on the front wheels it is also more stable on side hills and it comes down better.

If you take a look in my gallery you will see a hill that I like to take on my way out of camp in Hungry Vally Ca
I must say the first 10 - 15 hours I was very leary of looping it on steep hills with the bf750 due to the power it has. I love to have the HP to climb them but dred the day I don't make it and have to hang on and back down or if slick and smooth enough shift my weight and turn sharp to get the front end to swing around so I am facing down again. Anyway I must say I am very impressed on how the BF's front end stays planted. Even when it comes up going over uphill whoops it still feels good. (So far) Not that I ever want to test that limit. I am a big dude and not very flexable for falls ect not to mention a hip replacement so I try to have fun and play on hills and black diamonds in my range of experience which is has been since I was 13 on dirt bikes with a 18 year break, but I am very new to quads. Under 60 hours I would say. CRUD IT"S BED TIME! Why didn't someone stop me? Blab-blab, quad-quad-quad, Ya I know. Nite now. Calvin


I WANNA RIDE!
