I should be getting my +1 +1 Burgard stem in the mail soon. Do you have to realign the front end after you install. Also if you have how do you have yours set up???:confused:

its pretty safe to say your tie rods will need re-adjusted for the new stem. most people run about 1/4" of toe in.

If i'm not mistaken you ride the woods allot right? How do you like the 16 tooth front sprocket with your set up. We have the same motor setup. Are you running 16/ 38 How does it do in the woods. Still climb well ?

And yes you will need to adjust the tie rods when you install. You will like that stem. Have one and it is good quality.

I'm running at 16/38 right now, it pulls hard. I didn’t loose any low end at all. I have had it on since my motor was stock, I have also have ran a 16/36 setup on my stock motor and that was too much. I haven't tried that yet on my 416. Anyways with the 16/38 I still can crawl over logs and though the tight stuff. I can't keep the front end down even when I hit third, that’s how my friend bent my stem... It take advantage of all the torque it will make allot more usable power in 1st, you can wined it out instead of short shifting it. Just a little grind on the case guard and that’s it

Worth every penny of that $15
