Huge difference for him he only weighs about 140lbs and with the stock set-up all it did was bounce harshly on the braking and excell bumps so far he loves it. Thanx for the compliments.

Nice bike!

I still don't understand how someone can spend $1000+ on suspension, it seems so silly, especially on a late-model machine.

I take it you've never ridden on anything but smooth pavement then?

i ride mud/dirt alot.... I rode a dirtbike prior to the atv, I never really had a problem handling my bike, it's a good workout when she's kickin around, but it never really bothered me. i did every kind of riding such as track, trail, mud, hillclimbing, etc....

that's just me though... i guess deep down inside i have the personality traits of an old fart...

i guess too cause i have more than just a quad to maintain, pay for, and what have ya. life's expensive enough as it is... i try to save as much as possible is all

i could do quite a bit of modding on my truck for $1000-2000.

Maybe you should take it out of first gear:D Just messing with you

By the way that is a nice ride. I have elka shocks all around and they are great. I run them on my practice bike. The faster you go the smoother they ride. My race bike has fox evols.

Hey everyone thanx for the compliments. The pipe made a big difference pulls wicked hard out of the corners has a lot of mid and low power which is what he was after. As far as being loud the thing is pretty much that sounds great deep low tone. Trx23rider we live in upstate new york small town called Lowville and we race district 3 motocross. Thanx again guys.

If he has an Elka rear to match, that is a $3000 suspension setup, and well worth every penny it costs! There is nothing that compares to Long Travel suspension, period!

You have never rode a quad with a good front/ rear end suspension setup??? Feels like night and day to me!! Good a-arm/ suspension combo is priceless. :D

I just had to add my 2 cents. Long travel is worth every bit of money you spend on it. You won't ever want to ride a quad without long travel once you have ridden on it.

long travel is worth the money, i used to ride with +2 standard travel on the old 250r in 03, and after riding with long travel, i will never go back. way worth the $2800
