I think what he meant to say is that R is geared too tall. I fell the same, almost as if you have to ride the clutch. The only times I ever stall my bike are when I am trying to use R

I try not to use it unless I HAVE to

 

we need to organize 'reverse races' especially for 01's! man does mine scoot backwards!!
i'll bet my 01 goes faster backwards than many quads do forwards.

The reverse isn't too fast, you're experienceing what I call stalling out, hitting the reverse rev limiter trying to get out ouf a sitsuation. Dump the rev limiter.

 

Count me in Raptor8!

 

Do I sense a Four Stroke Reverse Wars in the future??? Hmmm...thats something to think about...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

 

Ahhhh come on, that was my idea last year for FSWII. Of course I came up with that idea after backing out of my garage at about 25 mph and turning my head to see where I was going. It's a funny thing, you turn your head and your handlebars follow. I did half a Rockford turn, flipped over and ended up under the deck. One of those where are the camera moments.

 

lol i think it would be a good idea to have a poll on that reverse race

 

01's actually do have a limiter but good lord! you have to do about 30 in reverse to hit it. I know one guy who flipped his like that. He was in reverse and let handlebars turn. OOPS!

it is to fast especialy when your in the wood trying to put it in to rev and in a tight area. How do you slow it down? Take off the limiter??

 

Reverse is very tall on all raptors, on my 2001 I dont believe I have ever let the clutch all the way out while in reverse LOL
