has anyone heard of this Josh Lanphear? He is the best ive ever seen I think I heard 5 miles around corners it was something ridiculous. Personally, on my raptor I can get up to 4th gear then I puss out ha... at least a mile though

 

that is crazy, i wheelie mine to long and my coolant will start leakin out[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

 

My longest wheelie is on my raptor and it was a little over 300 feet then I tried it again and went over backwards and rolled in fourth gear and messed it all up. I am planing on breaking this record on my new 05 YFZ 450

 

I'm pretty sure I did a wheelie from mid Missouri to Denver, Colorado. I was running about 135mph the whole way and I was naked. Yeah, it was good. You have to take into consideration that my Raptor is fast, and I like potato chips.

 

Never really measured mine but know it's well over 400ft, i can ride em longer but most of the time run out of room.

 

aerodynamics... im tellin ya. forget the cloths! if you cant lose anymore weight on your quad, lose it on yourself...

 

time to get this topic active again!! k i just bought a 450R. and i kinda suck at wheelies so. lift the front end up in 2nd for about 50ft...then it falls back down. like i said.. i suck haha only thing i dont get is... people say with there 450R's they can lift the front end up in 4th gear without using the clutch.... somtimes even 5th... how is this possible?, considering i cant even get the front wheels off the ground in 3rd gear. i also have the HRC kit.. maybe my quad isnt tuned right. i donno say im in 3rd gear about low-mid RPM's and i punch it. even if i pull the handle bars i cant pull a wheelie.

 

longest on my 300ex is about 100 feet

longest on a rancher 30 feet

 

miles and miles and miles on my 400ex

 

I'd imagine it will....My 400ex will pull it up in 5th, so unless there is a HUGE gearing difference, I'd say the 450r should too.

It's about being in the right RPM range, and it's also about timing. You have to time your pull so that you are pulling when the power kicks in. And yes, you will have to pull hard in the higher gears.....3rd should come right up fairly easy though.

Don't forgot about your subconscious....sometimes your brain tells you that you don't really want the front end to come up off the ground, and then you end up not staying in the gas, or not pulling hard...or something along those lines.

However if you are doing everything properly, and it still won't come up...then yes, something is not setup right on your quad.

I'd practice some more though because I'm sure you'll get it.
