Wheelie bar
« on: October 16, 2013, 10:56:48 am »
Ok, so i have a 91 lt250r and the wheelie bar is short and if it comes back to far it will tip over on top of me. Is there anyway I could extend it?

First that's not a wheelie bar it's a grab bar, second I imagine you could just weld a looping piece of metal onto it but my advice would be learn how to not flip your quad.

 (Y) best advice I can give is try riding farther forward, towards the gas tank, and get the feel for your clutch. Remember, if your front wheels are coming up, and you want it to come down, all you have to do is hit the back brakes w/ your foot pedal. Most people don't remember this when they get into the situation cause they start panicking. Trick is to ride with a clear head. Then it just comes naturally with almost no thought.  Stay calm.

To wheelie you want to be able to do it at the balance point not with power. Try learning slow wheelies with 1 foot on the grab bar and the other on the brake pedal. Do it on level grass so if you do come back too far it won't scuff the grab bar up much. Once you learn the bikes balance point it becomes easy not to flip but most the time fear of flipping stops you getting to the balance point and you set it down before you get there
