so i had a short day at work today and decided to take the 400 out for a spin with my buddy. havent had a real ride since i re geared so this was gonna be exciting. gears are short, real short, almost feels like im not using a 5th gear, theyre that short. but hitting the power band faster and harder makes up for it. only downside is we do alot of travelling between trails and that taller 5th would be nice, but for the trails its perfect. third gear i can lean back and stab the throttle and shell squat and blast over puddles.
so were getting ready to hammer a trail weve been eye balling for a bit of time and i start the feel the back end dancing around on me a little. think maybe its just the paved trail andi look down and see the back wheels moving in and out. i pull over and find that theres almost an inch of play at the wheel. ***. so i had to limp it back to my place in second gear basically coasting. and now its in the garage. waiting for it to cool down, and i think tomorrow im gonna start the disassembly of the carrier. hopefully its just bearings and nothing else got fried. maybe my damn shifter will arrive for the pred in the meantime and ill atleast have that to ride :D
