hey guys how many of you do coasters on your quads? i'd like to learn them on my blaster, but i need hydraulic back brakes first. what gear do ya'll do them in and how far can you go? thanks for the help

 

3rd gear is nice.. all depends on long of a stretch ya got.. need 50/50

if i have a drag strip ive done 4th gear

in a parking lot 1st or 2nd .. get up to speed in the first half and then coast the 2nd half.. steady rear brake is your only control

 

I can only get about 150 feet out of third gear. On a Z400.

 

why do you need hydro brakes? are your drums that weak? jw

 

i ve done them in 3rd

 

blaster brakes SUCK!!!!!

 

lol damn i wanna learn but i have NO back brake control. i maintain bp by throttle control on my standups and sitdowns and whatnot. i started trying to learn it but the people around here are *****es, plus i put new dirt tires on so its kinda weird.

 

gotcha... on my raptor im pretty much forced to fly in 3rd, throw it up and coast since it usually dies anyway

 

yeah the damn rear brakes suck. i finally took them completely off, cause they would quit working after an hour of trail riding. hell sometimes they would hang up and slow me down without using the brakes. anyone who has spent much time on an old blaster knows what i'm talking about. thanks guys for the help maybe i can start doing these as soon as i get some good brakes off of a warrior or banshee. i've been rocking highchairs pretty good lately and i work on seat stander combos mostly. :YEAH

 

150 feet would be plenty far enough for me. thanks man.

 

tiller i gotta find a way to get you that vid. My co-racer was running it in fourth clutching it up shifting to fifth about 3/4 throttle and pulling that clutch in.


it sounds like this at 65-70

pppppppppppppppeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr vrooom

 

go postal bro .. slap it on a cd
