  • I take a ride on my 1999 Honda 400ex quad and do some trail riding and practice some wheelies. I go vertical a few times and lose control. #Honda, #400ex, #Quad,

      Hey I have a 2009 ltz 400 the first year of efi. Really woke those machines up and it brung a whole new meaning to 400’s. I definitely recommend getting and trying one. 400ex’s with a 416 big bore or a 440 big bore I hear get a lot of power and mike sabo made a 416 with a pipe and hot cams and was a very nice clean build. I recommend doing a build like that because the smaller the big bore the better that reliability will be.

    When you get more comfortable with wheelies, try shifting to the e next gear or feather the back brake to keep rpms down to stay up but 2nd gear would not wind out as quick. Wear some gear in case you fall off the back again.

  • @ERESMAMABICHO
    @ERESMAMABICHO 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Once the bike gets to exactly 23:39 you want to switch into the next gear and be smooth on the throttle it will put you on balance point so be ready to click the rear brake . REMEMBER REAR BRAKE CONTROL IS KEY TO VERY LONG WHEELIES

  • @TheJessicarabbit09
    @TheJessicarabbit09 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    i could never go slow and feather the throttle during wheelies , the 400ex hands down has the best balancing point, for me, I had to keep it full throttle and keep shifting through the gears, could go for ever in 5th down the road and start in first too, no need to pop the clutch on they old 400 ex pop her up and keep it going full tilt. mine was stock either then slip on exhaust and air filter and could easily stand it up till 3rd gear much like your videos, you know know how to ride man

    Here in California, the trend is mini bikes. People seem to think they can get 800 or 900 for a cheap mini bike with a lawnmower motor. You can’t even get a roller for less than 300. It’s ridiculous.

    A good way to get it up in a wheelie with any bike is to hit the front brake first and then hit the throttle and pull back and use your back brake for when you going to go over backwards

  • @NBLife459
    @NBLife459 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    While on power not free rev just while accelerating in second gear with 1 finger just do a small clutch slip and goes right up and dont jerk the throttle try to stay smooth. You will feel the balance point and be able to stay on it and shift gears. I find it gets easier when you get up to 4th gear on mon dr650. Easier to stay on the balance point but crash harder

I bet you could have some fun with one of the drones that follows behind you and can be programmed to circle above while recording video of your rides. Have you ever tried taking a trip across the country using the power line access trails? Hard as Hell to get permission anymore, but not impossible and that would make a pretty cool series of videos. Better with a group. Looks like you found your balance point pretty quick even if your right thumb insisted you go past it a couple times lol. Had a lot of fun watching and wish I was riding with you.

    Nice bike man sounds good lil pointer on wheeling try only blipping the throttle to get it up to the balance point then holding steady throttle just enough to keep it there once it’s there try getting used to the balance and count on that to keep it up rather than your throttle input don’t worry about how fast your going get used to it in 2nd even 1st just to feel out the balance point try putting you nee on the seat too just to find that sweet spot and get used to it then sit down and go from there

    Get to second gear and u will see ur wheelies really improve. I’m no wheelie master but on my 300ex I’d get going, switch to second. Pull in my clutch, rev it a bit and dump it. I’d did great. The 400ex may require far less clutch slipping. Just get ur rpm semi high and pull when u punch it. Second gear is a lot taller so it doesn’t rev out like first gear. Just how I learned, loved it🤷‍♂️

    Front suspension will improve if you LOWER your air in the tires. I would say run 6psi Front and 5psi rear. If your front tires are over inflated you will get a Rougher ride for sure.
