try it on a 4x4 in reverse. stand on the front rack facing backwards and throttle it up with your left hand. and if it starts to barn door on you, have someone sit on the seat and hold onto the bar. aint no thang. oh yeah, we can 12 o'clock a vinson with 12 people on it. prostar at indy this summer. off the chain!

Bill...my bad i wasnt here yesterday
i keep the gas on and when you sit it back down i still have the gas going it does a kinda burnout for a minute then it will go just far enough for enough momentum when you hit the back break itll pull you up..i took alot of practice for that man.....time is of the essence on that cause if you take to long the thing dies.

That's cool.. Once you get on the brakes and you are stopped on the back wheels, have far can you drive backwards under engine power?

I never tried it using the engine I just coasted them for maybe ten to fifteen feet. I never got the shifting thing down to go forward I think that you need to be stopped on the back wheels to get it to shift smooth from reverse to first. When I get my hands on another Z400 I'll start trying them again.
It looks f’ed up because your throttle and brake control is backwards. You use the throttle to bring the front down and the brake to bring it back up.

It can't be reversed because when he comes down from the wheelie his suspension buckles a little. when your going forward you don't have pressure down in the front before you pop a wheelie :P by the way, nice trick, if my 400ex had reverse I would try it.

Just roll down a hill and give it gas.. I've done it on my Quadsport80 with another person on the back.. man that sucker came right up looped it luckily the bar dug in the dirt so it was good didn't come falling back on us we tumbled for a while though.. little bit of a steep hill.
