Well let me first start by saying I have no experience with these quads at all. But over the weekend one peaked my interest. I've never know anyone that had one, or rode one. Back in the day(late 90's) one would show up at the local riding are maybe once a year. Never really paid much attention to them. I know they quit making them like 04 or 05?
Anyways I seen one this past weekend, running the powerlines. I have to say for a 250 four stroke I was shocked. That thing was spunky as hell. Seemed pretty fast, and was flying off the jumps and suspension seemd to be pretty good. He drag raced a Warrior, and won. This was several times down a short flat section. I couldnt believe it beat the Warrior, even if the Warrior was stock. I talked to the guy for a second, he said he had just bolt ons from some company well known for Mojave performance parts, I think he said it was CRW????? It had a pro circuit pipe, bigger carb and filter clamped right on the carb with no airbox. Said the mods really woke up the quad, and with its short wheelbase its a blast to run down tight trails and thru the woods.
Well I'm in the market for a used, cheap quad. I was wondering what others had to say bout the Mojave, as it seems like a forgotten quad. I know one thing, that thing would kill my Raptor 250 in a drag. But speed isnt everything. Anyone have oppinions, the good and bad, and why the Mojave doesnt seem to be very popular? Thanks.
