The restrictors were fully removed and the quad was jetted to run at our altitude. It's exhaust note is much louder then most new stock mini's quad's, and when compared to the Xtreme line of pitbike we found it to be of the same design. The center core of the silencer started rattling after 15 minutes of riding and will need to be re-welded in place.
The dealer had installled the 4th gear modifaction but informed us that after his testing he had to remove it due to an issue so we would be running the 3 speed as it came from the factory. There has been reported issues with this tranny having notchy shifting and while our rider found it difficult to shift under load, we found no failures during our testing.
The basic shake down ride did have our rider coming back into view carrying one of the heel gaurds that broke free from it's mounting, with the other being removed to prevent it from coming off during the harder riding sessions we were about to demand of this atv.
