im wonder how reliable/good racers theses are
id really love to have one cuz there soo different and look awsome
i know you cant really awser this yes or no but will it come home running everytime?? im planing on getting the D&M kit and a lab top and leaving it pretty much stock(engine) and i know how to take care of a bike so i dont think i would have a problem there..
i do ride rather hard and i weight about 260 so its not easy on the quad...
all posts are apreeciated..
thanks:head:
260 with Gear?

I race on occasion and have always brought my quad home running. I weigh in the 250 Plus gear range. PEP ZPS shocks help, +2 arms and axle spaces.
Remember it's easier to BUY horsepower than to lose weight.

Remember it's easier to BUY horsepower than to lose weight. You'll need more than horsepower to win if you're packin a bunch of extra pounds.
Lose weight, you'll be WAY faster.

I MX mine when I have to, Im not very good on the MX portion of the track, I make up for it on the XC.

If you want a cdale but are concerned about it breaking because of your weight just put your money into stronger a-arms, shocks etc. But you still should work out and train to stay conditioned but you don't really need to loose weight. I haven't had a problem with not bringing mine home running I only had 1 problem with my clutch but that was a easy quick fix, but I don't weigh as much as you guys I am a lot smaller 5'8 and weigh around 135-140 with gear

I weigh 220 and I am 6'1......I jump 90 foot doubles so weight doesn't slow me down......the girls like it so I'm not complaining:w:

Well, I'm old/fat/&slow and I mx mine 90% of the time with no problems. I love mine to death, and you won't have to worry about the frame breaking or any stuff like that. Fix the motor (updates) and ride-on!!
