    Are Wheelies bad for my ATC110

    ok guys well i finally got my 110 runningit's great bringing back memmories of when i was 14 it's great the money and time i've spent on this was all worth it , but my question is is it bad for the tranny to pop wheelie in this thing? because it's very fun lol and what the proper way of doing it? starting from neutral and just reving up and popping into 1st and go , or pop into 1st and then hold down then rev and go? this might sound like a stupid question but i really dont want to mess up my baby

    Neutral drops are HORRIBLE on a tranny. If your going to do a wheelie be Fully in gear give it gas and pull up. The two ways you listed are going to break gears in no time.
    Hey, What other dangerously fun vehicles can I Cram in my 2and1/2-car shop? (Garage.)

    Start in gear.

    With mine I get going a bit, pour on some coals and pull back a bit, then sit it there

    yeah, just have it in 1st gear high or 2nd low (for me anyway) get her going (maybe 3-4MPH) then floor it pull up and have your body towards the back of the seat. should pull right up to the balance point. practice is the key. dont be afraid to tip her back a few times. and keep that foot over the brake petal so you can correct if your starting to tip back. neutral slams are bad for your tranny and for total newbs anyway. lol

    I wonder where the oil pickup is in the crankcase?

    I've seen people wheelie for long distances.

    Do we know if they're getting oiled in the vertical?

    Actually, I don't think neutral drops are completely that bad on a 110, due to the design of the tranny. On dirt, it is less stress than pavement. But of course neutral drop on anything promotes extra wear and tear.
    But, with a 110, you don't need to do a neutral drop to get the nose up. Just lean, and yank back as you apply throttle. Also they are easier in low range.
