With my paddles i get good starts but then other 450s catch me at the end. When I get my pipe, intake, and pcIII, I'm going to try my bros 21'' 7 paddle. What mods have you done to your quad?
FMF Mega Bomb, FMF 4.1 System, Velocity Intake, No Lid, Wire cut.
On the top end I have no problem :-) I ussually get beaten out of the hole, but always overtake 3-4th gear ish and no looking back. The top end is a lot stronger then a similarly modded YFZ or TRX 450. I can keep up with a lightly modded YZ450F until mid 3rd gear and it just leaves me but then again they have 100+ lbs on us :-)
I start out in 2nd gear as I used to on the YFZ and even if we switch rides to discount rider the same results happen, the YFZ gets a better jump but once end of 2nd to 3rd gear is hit and in the power band the DS pulls it.
I was figuring if I removed 1 tooth from the front maybe that would help, but was curious to what other dune riders have been doing, or if they are happy with the stock gearing and power band up top.
