If you can't do it WITHOUT a handbrake, it's not worth doing.

Use the clutch and engine braking to bring it down...

Why the hell do you want to scrape in 3rd gear anyway? If you know how to ride a good wheelie you don't have to scrape. I know how far I can go and keep the bar an inch away from the ground. 3rd gear high chair wheelies are way too easy on a 400EX. ****! anykind of wheelie is way too easy on a 400EX.

But if you really want a hand brake on your quad or bike, go buy another lever, mount it above your clutch lever and run a cable down to your rear brake. SHouldn't be that bad, just fab it up man. Spend a few nights wrenching in the garage, a day or 2 shopping for parts and put it together, let us know how it turns out!

I dont get why everyone is hating? I can BP wheelie and do combos, high chair, walk it at less than 1mph all day. But that **** gets dull and I just want to be able to do high speed high chairs touch the bar and ride away. I also think it would be fun. I put a hand brake on my 50 and it made things so much fun, now I can 12 high chairs and its FUN and thats why i stunt. I dont do compatitions I just do it cause I like to. If you dont like it dont put it on yours. But dont say I dont have skill cause I want a hand brake

Re: Hand brake on a 400ex?

it wouldnt be worth the time to put a handbrake on so i could 3rd gear highchair scrapes like i sead befor the object is not to scrape for me i dont see the skill in it. just like letting all the air out of your tires to do circles and keeping the cam off it so nobody knows

first of all who said i was tryin 3rd gear highchair scrapes second of all everyone in the world knows that you cant do circles on a quad without letting the air out of the tires so why would i try to hide it. maybe it was more like the camera man noticing it would look stupid to tape my flat tire.

you seem to have alot of mouth lately about everything. handbrake this and handbrake that. wow look at me my name is austin and i dont have a handbrake and can do all of the tricks alfie can. well we'll see soon wont we. put your money where your mouth is or shut the **** up. this kid wants a hanbrake not so he can cheat but to progress in this sport to a level where you'll never be without one.

dont hate on something just cause you cant afford it pm me ill get you a good deal.
