Every since I got my hpd clutch kit all I really do is ride wheelies, I was wondering if I am hurting anything by riding them? Like not geting oil to some parts of the engine.


Thanks

 

I wouldn't worry about it. You may find some oil in the air box but that is because it is getting past th crankcase vent hose. Don't worry about it though. As long as you aren't running it for awhile while it is standing on its a$$ I dont see any harm

 

I was ridin wheelie the other day... pretty long one too, bout 1/8 of a mile or more (cause i fabricated a wheelie bar to bolt on my hitch of my 03 Trail Boss) but near the end of my record breakin wheelie, i noticed a burning odor coming from the motor, not sure what it was, but i dont think i hurt anything (yet) i dont ride long wheelies any more.

 

If you ride wheelies, do a lot of hard launches or jumping I would recommend HPD super duty clutch buttons. Within 6 months my stock clutch buttons were destroyed.

 

hey cottonsnatcher how do you do wheelies sitting on the bike or standing on the back garb bar/rack? and i noticed the smell of burning somthing on my bike too when i was doing wheelies then I looked at the front of my bike I had an oil leak form my engine you should check yours.

 

Thanks guys for the input!! My friend that is a honda only guy said, that wimpy polaris trans wont hold up to the wheelies for long cuz of the weight of the quad.

 

I sit on the back of the seat, the rack has been removed cause i didnt like it. no leaks on my baby (yet!!) as for polaris trans, sounds logical that it could damage it, but i have yet to have any problems out of it. hondas suck! buy american!! but hey, you cant ride it forever and think that you'll never have to replace parts, thats part of the game man!! when the belt starts slippin, get a new one, when the clutch starts slippin, replace it with a better one![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I totaly agree!! Thats why i got a polaris cuz there american, and dont really care what the honda people say! Just wanted to know if that was true or not so thanks for the INPUT MAN!

 

buy american! where do you think the engines come from? their fuji engines out of japan! that's why there very reliable. it's the american made frame, chains, a-arms, etc, that break down most often!

 

Yeah right! That's why the counter balance on the 400 is notorious for going bad do to coolant leaks.
