How much straight drop can a stock suspended 250r take?

[Kintore]

Hey guys, just want a quick answer here.

Im looking at a straight 4 foot drop off a loading dock at work, im thinking just pop it up in 2nd and land back first.

How much can a stock trike take? (not casper)

Shes got 2' wheel spacers too.

Stay on the gas, it'll be rough but you'll probably be OK. How much room you got for a running start?

[Kintore]

I got as many gears as I want. Ill be coming out of a Large 1000 sq foot freezer at work.

I think ill be alright!

Best part is, its at work and when I come outa the freezer there will be fog or whatever. So ill like POP outa the mist! lol

btw, one of my buddys is bringing his camera. Getting it on video!

4' is gravy. You could wheelie from a dead stop to drop 4'. I think 2nd gear would work sweet.

HUMMMMM ... stock suspension out of a Semi Trailer.... NOPE !!
out of the back of a 1988 F-150 .... Yes ...

A 4' straight drop is definitely feasible. I did close to that on my 200X at a bmx park and i'm 200 pounds.

I remember a video on youtube of a stock suspended 450r dropping over 12' onto a flat ground. It was very harsh but he was ok. I think 4' would be nothing for a 250r. Ive jumped my 200x off my 3' deck and its not bad at all.

[NINJA]

hell yeah Super90, you know what i'm talkin about. how long have you had that 86?

[Red Rider]

4 foot drop will be no problem at all, as long as we're not talking about an '81-82 250R.

at 14-16 years old ... Yeah , but at close to 50 years old .. NOPE....

I wish I was still 14-16, my parents bought my trike and I didn't have to work:lol:

[Yamahondaman]

HA HA ... Kinda like my 16 yr. old !! :lol:

[Kintore]

Alright saweet boys, shes a total go then!

WAAAHOOO!

ill put the video up when I get it from my buddy! Dont you love screwing around at work on company time? lmao

[Dammit!]

When I think it was Dirtwheels was testing either the 85 or 86 R they were riding it off a pretty big drop. I wanna say it was 8 feet but I'm not sure anymore. They said it handled it pretty well BUT, the suspension on these things is 20 years old now. Those springs are saggin!

[cr480r]

Definetely depends on the rider... Rider skill...strength...weight...and height...are all deciding factors on a machines limitations...

[super90]

I had my 200x for around 9 moths now. I ride it pretty much every day and it never stops ticking. But it does need a rebuild now thats its smoking a little. But its the most reliable machine I have ever owned.

[Kintore]

Super90, I think you got the wrong thread bud! lol


All went well people, Got some damn sweet video, Worked like a charm!

Ill get the video up tonight, its fun screwing around on work time lol

[Jim mac]

I was afraid we'd see your name on the darwin awards. Glad it worked out well. jim

[super90]

vids vids vids....

[super90]

I think its already been confirmed that a 250r can drop 4' without recieving any damage. And I will get a video of my drops.

[RedRider_AK]

Shoot I think I might have even been doing drops that big on my Big Bear... and that thing has CRAP suspension.
