get some tires that fit your track conditions that your racing, and send that suspension to GT Thunder and you will be amazed at how much faster you can ride.

Wider axle and +2 a-arms would help a lot.

yea i was wondering about the axle/a arms but i do a lot of trail riding too and it would be too wide, im just looking to improve on the track for when i go play around on it...i doubt ill get right into racing besides just my friends for fun...if i do get new a arms they will be +1...is there anything else out there that would benefit me for both

anything else really necessary for the track?

thanks

You need to get the quad lower and/or wider to improve the cornering. You can achieve this by getting wider a-arms and axle, ZPS shocks, smaller tires, etc.

If you're balancing the bike between MX and trails, maybe you don't want to do anything to it other than maybe changing the shocks and linkage.

I went ahead and widened my bike to 50" and haven't had any problems in the trails. Only once have I had to go around a path between two trees the guy in front of me could go through.

I would also go with the shock rebuild. Call Santo DeRisi. Great work, great ppl to deal with.

yea i was thinking about sending my shocks off this winter...i live in canada so any thing i have to ship off will take for ever, which means no ride time during that period because i have nothing to replace it with, unless my rancher shocks will fit my r..lol thats why i was wondering about just the smaller tires, because i wont lose ride time and if they made a noticable difference for now, i could wait til the winter to get my shocks done

thanks for all the help so far
