Riding on 2 wheels

[200xalltheway]

Does riding on the side to wheels affect the rear axel? I heard that it may bend the axel.

You heard wrong. That sounds like something a 14 year old, who thinks he knows everything, would say. Pay no attention to it & ride on 2 of your 3 wheels to your heart's content.

haha yeah ..

When I was a kid we used to love riding around on 1 back wheel......


.....and it has never caused a problem........

[84honda 200X]

What about your front fork could it bend it? Just out of curiosity like on a 200X or a 350X?

[almac16]

I've done it alot on my 250sx that has a 200x front end and no problems, so I would say no.......

It will never bend the axle or the forks but might (or will) cause faster wear on the rear axle bearings depending on how much you do it.

it shouldnt hurt anything...i do it all the time

I do it all the time as well. My axle is only 1" thick, MUCH thniner than most factory built 3 wheelers, and it weighs like 400 lbs, so I'd guess you'd be fine.

Go riding on two (slowely), then pop a wheelie. It's kinda hard at first, but once you get used to it you can probably go like 30ft or better. I only tried it once and only went like 5ft, but I will master it when I get my new Z (next weekend).

The only probably I see is wearing out your sidewalls prematurely (sp?). Other than that have fun, try it onehanded, onefooted, nofooted, just dont run over your feet, it can suck you off or do worse. Not that I have ever been pulled off of a trike by the backtires though. :D

Axle carrier bearings will wear faster.

lol! I think you'll be okay riding on 2 wheels. You'd have to do it more then you ride on 3 to see any kind of difference.
