Does any one know whear i can get some thing to fill my inner and outter areas of my rear rims? I got aot of snow in the rims today and it kept making them out of balance. I needed to clean them when they started making bad vibrations.

i've seen some for douglas wheels to keep out mud. might check there. how much different in the acceleration w/ the bigger sprockets?

I cant tell on the ice i get alot of tire spin even with the studs in the tires. But the top speed is like having 6th gear. lol I am going to bring out my gps tomorrow and do some speed runs across the lake.

My friend has a Preditor with a pipe, jetted, air box. I let him take off first in front of me and I blew by him when i got tractoin in 3rd gear and kept pulling away from him even when i got in 5th gear.

I need more traction :devil:

ya, i've only rode mine on sand & dirt once. it hooks up good on the dirt, but spins so much in sand. wonder what's the best tire for the sand w/o going to paddles?

I don't know about sand traction. I just know get an extra set of rims and tires so you are not limited to one type of riding.

I think the silver baja rims look good.

What type of rims are those on your Can-Am?
Does the ds450 have the same size rims as the ds650?

I have the t9 baja rims . I dont know if the fit the ds650 or not. If you measure your lug nuts from center to center front and rear you can tell if they will fit.


I know they will fit a honda trx 450.

The rear wheel studs are a 4 and 1/4 inches center to center of wheel studs and the fronts are 5 and 5/8 inches from center to center of the wheel studs.

BAM BAM whear in NY do you live. If your near me you can try putting my stock wheels on your 650

Measured my wheels and the rear lug pattern is close approx. 5 1/2 X 5 1/2. I would actually have to try them on my quad. Thank you for the measurements.
