Not using the clutch probably won't kill your quad immediatly, but I wouldn't say that it's good for it....I mean, it's there for a reason, might as well use it.

Re: shifting while wheelieing
I can get it to wheelie easily in 1st or 2nd i just don't want to over rev it or sumthin. I don't know i was just seeing if it was ok not to use the clutch when wheelieing. I thought the same thing, if the clutch is on it, then it is ment to be used.
thanks for the help

um thats false.........and a lil overeactive........i shift all the time without the clutch......at alot of different speeds.......and rpms.......**** even in a wheelie at different speeds and rpms.......ive never broken a case or had any problems with my quad at all.

Agreed... I've shifted from 1st to 3rd on both the EX and XR without using the clutch. It's all about knowing your machine.... and being a professional stunt rider like myself doesn't hurt either

Re: shifting while wheelieing
I'm not pro stunt rider, and i know my machine is blue and white (j/k) but I'm somewhat of a mechanic and know a lot of people who are. That's where I get my information. If it was so necessary to shift w/ the clutch, then why is it so easy to shift w/o? Try shifting a car at any rpms, straight from one gear to another and see how easy it is. True, you can shift a car w/o the clutch but you have to wait for the input and output rpms to match exactly before it'll go in gear.

Oh don't get me wrong... I'm not saying you can snap through gears in a wheelie whenever you feel like it.... I totally understand that you're saying you have to wait for the right RPM range, and I agree. All I'm saying is that "YES"... you can shift gears in a wheelie without clutch. I've done it with and without..... and without does require you to be in the right rev limit. And yes, I've done it in a car too... however downshifting a car without the clutch is a little more difficult than a bike or quad.

Re: shifting while wheelieing
alright like said you do have to be in the general range of rpm's that's all I'm saying...I didn't mean the exact right spot but the gap isn't terribly large, and yes you can break your case off of it I've done it twice...that's basically all anyone else said. I didn't mean you had to hit the absolute perfect rpm but there is a range you gotta hit, (I was cracking and tired)

Re: shifting while wheelieing
Yeah there is a fine "sweetspot" u must over come, for instance u must get it high enuff so when u let off and shift your not to low to power out of the wheelie..know what i mean?
