you can do it with any stick shift. with a automatic it wont work because there is a clutch that engadges. i did it on my quad when i was little, once in a while it would go dead. i tryed it on my 400ex and it has too much compression, the wheels just lock up.
In an automatic, the torque converter slips; ie. does not acheive lockup. Hey, on your 400ex, try it in a higher gear, if it locks and drags in 1st try 2nd, if it still does try 3rd, one of those will work for you... actually the same goes for a car...
ya i know i think i tryed 1-3rd gears, its hard to get it into higher gears when its not moving. it was cold and snowy at the time but i thought the studs would grab. it didnt matter anyways because i found out the plug was fouled. i dont like doing this. my dad was telling me about starting his truck along time ago by pulling it with his 3 wheeler(like i said along time ago). i guess my bro was in the truck and he had the key turned off so it took them a while to figure it out.
