Default bad to ride quad on two wheels (2 on 1 side tilted)

well every1 i have a question for you all. I have a habbit of riding my blaster on 2 wheels with the whole left side uo in the air and ride in circles, is his bad for the frame, a Arms ,wheels, engine, ect.......? i would think that over time it would bend the right side wheels in more, true? thanks!

I'm sure over time, it will eat up the bearings and races in the hub and carrier. But I still do it too.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

ya, it's worse on the tires forsure. If your ridin in the dunes you can't do it much at all cause it forces sand into your bead which makes the tires flat. You have to break the bead to fix it, deffinatly a pain in the butt!

It makes you a much better rider. So it is worth any wear on the bike for safety's sake.

No doing that on a quad with extended a arms and axle unless you have a lot of lead in your butt to get some leverage.

It ruined the splines on the rear axle hub on my moto4 and my buddys blaster. It also loosened the hub nut on my 400ex.

Yeah, you will wear some components out faster, but so will wheelies, jumps, riding through mud/water, etc. etc. You bought it to have fun on, so don't sweat it bro.
