Hey Jeff, I've been considering switching to a more powerful quad. I really don't want to tear into my 400ex engine. Do you think it would be worth trading my EX on a Cannibal? I am a fairly agressive rider, but I don't want to do any real big upgrades. Maybe nerfs and a pipe. I see everyone 'cept you dumping and running from their Dales. What's your .02?
Thanks,
Scott :confused:

I would go for it..... enough places are startin to make parts for them and they are awesome to ride.... I really like mine, its the biggest adrenaline rush... the only two quads Ive ridden that have been fast like it was a 265r and the Predator I raced, on my cannibal I have the moto a arms and im gettin a new HMF slip on and an axle is all

The cannondales are very fast and impressive quads... If you want more power...the Cdale is it..:cool:

I bent the axle trying to do my impression of Creech!:eek2:

The Cannondale has been the best most reliable quad I have ever owned! Mine is an 03 and Rowlrag's is an 02 so I can't speak for the 01's and early 02's. The only problem we have had is the fuel pump getting hot. We moved them to the back of the subframe and that has solved the problem.
They have insane power and handle just as well if not better than my old long travel 250R. I owe my recient success in the GNCC's to the Cannondale! The thing is a submarine and didn't miss a beat in any of the muddy races this season. Even in some water that was up to the seat in FL!
A new company www.cdaleparts.com was just started by a former employee of Cannondale. He has contacts with companys that supplied parts to Cannondale. He can get almost anything you will ever need. Other companies are stepping up to produce other parts.
If you can find a clean 02 or 03 then I say go for it! I can also get you new 02's or 03's if you want to go that rout.

hope this helps
