    700xx owners - IRS thoughts?

    Would you ever go back to SRA? Having owned both (and I assume you have) which do you prefer?

    I'll ask the same question in the Outlaw forum too.

    Thanks guys!

    What don't you like?

    Would you suggest it to a buddy?

    Love the ground clearance and ride. I didnt care for the front end push but after getting used to it and putting on a Precision steering dampener, its great I will never go back to a SRA (my Raptor days are over for good)

    agreed. the dampener is the single most important upgrade one can do to this quad. As far as the pushing ... just gotta be able to think a second or 2 more ahead .. to reap the rewards and realize the total benefit of IRS.

    Anybody ride in the dunes yet? 80% of my riding is at Little Sahara... for now and I wonder how the IRS handles the sand...

    The mags don't give it very good reviews in the sand what do you'all think that have them?

    Thanks, Troy

    In my opinion, it does very VERY well...even with the stock tires. I have some paddles on order and should have them somewhere in January.

    Every time I drag it to Mississippi I drag it to a place that has 300 acres of a little coarser sand than little sahara so that probably helps.

    My riding buddy has a 716 big bore kit (and other things) on his 700r . At first he would say (to agg me on) "If you can make it up that climb, I'll buy a 700xx" After a me making it every single time he started saying "I can't afford to buy one now...but I want one."

    i dont have a 700xx but what i think honda should do is take after polaris and offer and IRS and a solid axle version like the outlaw, and make it a bit lighter

    then it could compete with most of the other big bore sport quads and actually stand a chance

    lol, You must have not rode one either. They are holding up very well to all the other big bore quads and taking charge.
