2twin350s Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 I was looking at buying one that has been fliiped twice from doing wheelies. He had to replace the grab bar. Maybe i should stay away from that one. 413451[/snapback] yeah you can grab a grab bar of a banshee with your hands and twist it and whatch the subframe move. i mean it does it real easy compared to other makes of quads.

bansheeryder_69 Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 (edited) Practice, practice, practice and when you've mastered that more practice.413286[/snapback] Have one of your friends lift the front of your banshee up to the balancing point. (gas off) then sit there for a while getting the feel of where its at. Drop the front end down go out and start rolling then get to the front of the powerband,preferrably in 2nd gear, and get on it bringing the front end up then try to get to the balancing point (this may take some practice) and try to keep it there without revving the shee up too high or going over backwards. Thats how I ride my wheelies. if you have a 380cc banshee then u should be having no problem?> i dont get the question..... ??i have a stock banshee and can pull wheelies up in 4th gear with no clutch no problem.... i just lean back, floor it and pull up........ 413730[/snapback] with a modded banshee (380cc,etc.) "flooring it" will usually have an end result of you on your ass, and that blinging shee all torn up.

bansheeryder21 Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 I can just pull small short wheelies in the sand. The bike comes up real easy with paddles, it's just that I get scared and have to drop the bike back down. Don't want to dump it. How can I control that better?

SANDSTAR Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Gear your bike way down with a diff. front sprocket. Once you master wheelies with the diff. gearing, change back. A shorter swingarm makes a world of diffrence, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickyPap Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Find a slight hill on some good ground with traction. I've been practicing slow ones. I've got it mastered on the Blaster to where I can really creep it and even balance at a dead stop but the banshee is harder. I just rev it and pop the clutch keeping my foot near the rear brake. It jumps up so quick when you dump it at the right spot. Then once you find the balance point you have to work back and forth the gas/clutch and the rear brake for when you get too high or past the balance point. It's harder on the Banshee because it comes up so quick and like falling back out of a chair your natural reaction is to grab the rear brake. Far as fast wheelies, just find a good little bump and keep the RPM high (or in the pipe) right before you hit it bring it up and ride it -more gas if she's low -less if your about to bust your ass. I see some people stand up on there grab bar and peg but I only do it when no ones looking. too gangster for my redneck ass, I like the good ole lazy boy style good luck and get someone to take some pictures.
