i rode a 03 raptor today with a yoshi slip on and i was practicing wheelies. when i was up at a semi-balence point, when i pumped the throttle u could really feel the suspension compressing. does the z do that or was it just the tightness of the back shock do u think? what im really asking is have anyone here ever wheelied with a raptor and a z400? which is easier and nicer to wheelie with and keep it up. and someone said yesturday they can wheelie with a z in 4th gear. is that like a real wheelie or just a little lift of the front wheels? thanks

 

z400 easier to wheelie it comes close to how good a 400ex is the balance point is really easy to find

 

The z400 is alot easier to wheelie than the raptor cuz the Z has a smoother power where the raptor is quite a bit more torque and seems to wants to flip easier. 400exdude I personally can ride a wheelie on a z400 farther than the 400ex. But the 400ex is probably the best wheelier out there to others.

 

I tried and tried to get that balance point on my Raptor for a year, then I bought the z and I was amazed!! I can ride for quite some time on that bike. So while I got used to the z then I tried it on the Raptor and walla!! The Z just got me there a little easier and faster. Now I can ride wheelies on both of them.

 

the z

 

it just comes down to how good you are. my friend cant ride a wheelie on his warrior , but when i get on it i can wheelie forever and i ride a 230s

 

i dont know about a wheelie in 4th gear but the front end sure comes up quick in 3rd......... =\
i fliped it last weak, i punched it in 3rd next thing i know im on my azz watchin my z go off a 12ft drop.

the z was fine although the bars were pushed dwn 2 the tank and the controles were outa place i made it home without a problem.

i find it very ez to wheelie i can wheelie from 1st through 3rd ez and iv only been wheelien for about 1/2a year now.

NO ONE CAN!!

 

hey wheelies can be done in a school bus if the right driver is behind the wheel. the z does wheelie in 4th straight up wheelie not a litle lift. its easy to wheelie wheter its a z a 400ex a raptor or yes even a warrior.....

 

Im pretty light, 110 pounds, less meat means less muscle, I can lift the front end in 4th on my Z, the onlt mod I have that afect the power is a 13 tooth front sprocket, which really just moves the power, doesnt add power. Im sure if my cousin had more time on my Z, he could easily pull the front end up on my Z.
