It’s not necessarily the best, it old and needs a lot of maintenance BUT it’s a shit ton of fun, all 2 strokes are this way.

[@dasfisherman2169]

[@Alex-id4pu]

Best video

[@joelcornejooo]

Great video gave me a lot of new knowledge, by the way is is true that if you start a bike without the clutch pulled in that it will wear the clutch even more or no? Oh and also what is the best way of getting better fuel mileage on a 2-stroke?

[@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL]

Awesome!!! Glad I was able to help!! So anytime you have the clutch pulled in while in any gear except for natural there is some friction between the clutch plates and the clutch basket therefore it'll wear out faster then having it in neutral. Starting it with the clutch pulled in more than anything is hard on the starter as the starter is not only having to turn over the motor but it is also working against the friction of the clutch.

[@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL]

The best pace on a 2 stroke to achieve the best fuel mileage is to stay outside the powerband.

[@gaelyepez]

Can you show us a side clip of how far to click the gears from 1 neutral 2 3 4 5 6 looks like

[@greg6162]

Great explanation on ATV and shifting gears!!! Man I wish I lived down south… I could shoot my guns and (not at the same time… but you get my drift) ride ATV’s and dirt bike’s!!! In NY you’ll get chased by cops and they’ll impound your wheel’s

[@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL]

[@yeetygonzalez5843]

When u are clutchless shifting, are u shifting simultaneously when u release the throttle, or do u let off and then shift a fraction of a second later

[@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL]

I let off and as I'm in the motion of letting off, the crankcase releases pressure, allowing me to instantly shift. So yes, the second part of your question is the way.

[@yeetygonzalez5843]

@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL ok, thanks a lot, and yes, u are a really great teacher. I'm sorta knew to riding a clutch, but u explain the mechanics of it very well

[@WECKOS613]

Question.. so lets say im in a trail and have to ride on either 1st or 2nd gear… i feel like sometimes i have to press the clutch so it doesnt stall and at the sametime play with it while giving a little bit of throttle (you mentioned it as feathersomething on dif video) So is that wrong? Since you mentioned i would be buening the clutch.. what can i do about it?

[@George-ck6vk]

Hey man great video just wanted to ask if dumping the clutch is bad for my machine I have a 04 z400 thx

[@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL]

It adds some extra wear but minimal so no worries!

Hello, I would like to ask you what is better while going downhill. Hold the clutch and break or have your ATV in gear and break?

[@carleypulsifer5927]

One of my friends just fixed up my wheeler for me its a old Yamaha not sure what year... we are customizing it now but i would like to know when you do your racing how do you slow in your gears really quick mine tends to backfire but it is old lol,

[@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL]

I'm applying the brakes while engine breaking. Usually you won't catch that I'm using the brakes because I'm using the back brake pedal. Does this answer your question or did I interpret it wrong?

[@carleypulsifer5927]

@@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL you gotter thanks

[@andrewflees4568]

I'm sure this is a super noob question but if I have an underpowered quad, weigh a little more and cant slowly release the clutch to move into first gear without throttling, will it hurt burn the clutch if I throttle up a little and and slowly let off the clutch? Would it be better to do this in 5 seconds or 10 seconds?

[@phadestonkaneki9861]

So, can you slow down without shifting down then speed back up without issues?

[@nova-le6mo]

if im riding in 4th can I just downshift to third and keep riding or would I have to shift all the way to neutral

[@streef8965]

Do you have to pull in the clutch when shifting up or down

[@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL]

Yes

[@jesusriosperalta1522]

So when it comes to downshifting on a 4 stroke do I have to match the rpm?

[@menacesociety2296]

hey quad nation can you do another video on downshifting with the clutch

[@jorgebarajasafanador9909]

It's easy every time you going to be shifting you got to be on the high RPMs at the moment you let go the gas shifted and go back to the gas and at that gear go back to the high RPMs and at the moment you let go the throttle shifted same thing when it comes to downshifting but downshifting you got to give a throttle and release the throttle and shift it down bring the RPMs higher again release the throttle and shift it downshift again then give him more gas and then let go the throttle and down shift there again right at the same time you let go of the throttle

[@mikeEshroom]

(I have a 392 4mil vp race fuel) when climbing I'm only getting full power @ 5,500 / 6k to 9k-10k but really 6,500 to 8,500 / 9k rpm, is that normal? Because with keeping it in the power band up hill I over heat ( 210°f to 230°f depending on how long or how steep it is )

[@mikeEshroom]

Hatfield and Mccoy trails, I have a few videos of what I talking about. I am just learning how to ride a full race banshee( this is my first real banshee, long story) . I've had other bikes with some upgrades but never a full blown race bike like I do now. any help would be appreciated 🙏 thank you!

[@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL]

Yes that's normal for a Banshee to make power later in the rpm range. If you're overheating I would look into a larger aftermarket radiator. If you already have one then perhaps the engine is running too lean and you need a bigger jet in the carb.

[@Toolie716]

Wondering why 1st go is so short on my 15 Raptor 700r. My GSXR1k 1st gear was long af and id hit 90 mph before needing to shift, any ideas?

[@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL]

I'm very familiar as I had an R6 at one point in first gear did 83 mph. The reason the gears are much shorter on an off-road machine is because they can gain more explosive low end performance while not needing to exceed much over 80 mph. A street bike doesn't require all that much low end in first gear and then has a very close ratio after that to help keep its power while over 100 mph.

[@Toolie716]
