No. I'm not giving you the money:blah: , but I would like insight into what I would benefit more from. I do a pretty much 50/50 split between trail and track (small track though).

i dont want your money just the parts it can buy lol i would get the steering damper it reduces the arm pump but get a good one the stick style are not as good thats my opinion however if you get the clutch and then get a cheap dampner you will be able to feel the difference it the in the feel of the quad then you will know what your next mod will be

I would go with the steering stablizer. Now if you said a Magura Clutch then it would be different. Either way I think a steering stabilizer would be much more effective.

A stabilizer should be one of the first aftermarket investments. A rekluse is nice if you only raced, but it wouldn't not be very good for leisurely trail-riding. You would have to keep your E-brake, and we all know how well those work:rolleyes: Plus, if you stall on a hill there is no motor to keep you from rolling back.

That is the post I was waiting for. It never even occured to me the fact that it is essentially in Neutral 100% of the time when you're not running.

Ok, next question. System 5, Scotts or Precision? And why?

Precision. The Elka 3 & 5 are nice, it's just way too much adjustment for a stabilizer. The average joe probably wouldn't be able to dial it in to account for the extra dough spent on it. I've never had experience with a Scott, but you don't see many people running them.

The precision is tried and true - you can't go wrong with it.

i had a scotts on my cdale and it was good. i would say precision cause it doesnt have any seals to break(correct me if im wrong thats what i thought i read somewhere) but i have no experience other than the scotts
