How do you guys do stoppies on a raptor, do you have to change the brakes?

I got a 2003 raptor and the front brake doesnt seem powerfull enough, the quad slows down, but the front wheel cant lock up

 

really pull that lever hard!

 

Try legs over.

 

Your either not going fast enough or not leaning far enough forward. Get closer to the tank or on top of it. If you put your legs over the bars, be ready to be thrown off the bike. It's not definitely gonna happen, but since you haven't done it (a stoppie) before be ready to get outta the way of the Raptor. Over the bars you will land on your feet, so don't be afraid of trying it. I bet your not going fast enough, but your right to try it slow. Work your way up to it. If you going slow (10MPH or less), lean much farther forward.

 

Had no problems doing with my gix, but then again those thing got incredible brakes, will try to put more weight forward next time I go out riding. If only if could stop raining

 

Finally got em down

Thanks fort advices
