Lifted, widened, Bigger wheels?

[Muggzy]

Hey all, I just picked up an '01 sportsman 500 HO. it's got 28" wheels, 2" lift and 1" wheel spacers. I'm new to 4WD ATVs and been riding a 2WD 2Stroke. Anyone have any negative experiences with this stuff? I'm thinking of putting it back to stock.

Bigger tires will strain the belt. If its a stock belt, it most likely isn't going to last too much longer. Experience with my grizzly at least.

Thanks, I was wondering where the additional load would show up. People do all kinds of crazy s#!t and don't realize there's always a trade-off. :rolleyes:
