prssantana Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 holes hot xcr's are awesome for dirt. They will grab great out of the corners too. The razrs are great too though i just have always gotten the hole shots. The original razrs last a long time. As said before anything beats the dunlops.

rdzbangshee Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 So i need new tires bad cuz i cant hook until im in like 4th or 5th gear. my buddies 400ex is running all over me because of it! What do you guys suggest for a good all around tire? and what size? i'm gonna be field riding and running along the side of the road mostly on somwewhat steep slopes and right now i just slide down em everytime the powerband kicks.... Also he made a square track in the field yesterday that i went riding on with him and he was passing me. i'm sure i gotta get used to riding but i have a feeling the +6 swingarm was killing me on the turns...? should i throw the original back on for field and trail riding? Also i couldn't get the right gearing for that track as third didn't let me get into the powerband unless i clutched it and second ran out of revs. track was too short for shifting on straight aways... thanks guys turf tamers and 13/42and41 gears but gncc's are allot tougher that's what i use.

sootman73 Posted September 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 im pretty well decided on original razrs for the rear. the fronts aren't too bad yet so ill take my time replacing those... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sootman73 Posted September 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Well i ordered my rear tires yesterday. Got 20X11-9 original razrs 6-ply. i though $150 and free shipping for the pair was a pretty good price. cant wait til they get here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagunCajun Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 The long swing arm hurts traction. Put a stock one on there before you buy tires. And for tires I like my cut knarlys. But they dont slide easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they dont slide easy. yea but i dont think anything would help those worn down dunlops that are on there. and im just bolting the stock swingarm back on now. should take about an hour to finish tomorrow night. good choice, the pros run em for a reason yep thats what i was thinking.

sootman73 Posted September 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 so i found that i have a 15tooth sprocket up front last night. no wonder this bike has a crazy high top speed. thinkin about changing it but well see what the tires and stock swingarm do first before i change a bunch of things at once...

RagunCajun Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Going to a lower teeth front sprocket will hurt traction since it will be easier for the motor to turn the tires. I run 15/41 now but couldnt pull it worth a crap when i was bolt ons. Even when just ported i had problems. Hell, right now with my prowedges it does decent in 5th. I could go back to 14/41 but i like the "longer gears" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sootman73 Posted September 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 Well i got the stock swingarm on and wow a completely different machine! i about hit so many things cuz it turns so much quicker now! oh and then i checked the air pressure in the tires and they were all at 0 psi! so i put them to five and its a lot bumpier but much faster now! so much easier to roll now! so much more fun to ride now! cant wait to get my new tires and see what it can do!

Como Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 It's a different bike since I got my new set of wheels/tires from the original Dunlops; I used to run them at 4.4psi. A few pictures of the difference from the originals, I'm now 48" wide without wheels spacers. P.S. They are Kendas and they bring me anywhere my wife goes with her 4x4, no reason to complain yet… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagunCajun Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 (edited) Your welcome. Now just experiment with different pressure and practice launching. Drag racing is mostly about set up. But if you keep it just for fun, it's a great way to pass the time. I hate the hardest time getting my knarlys to hook. then one day just by looking at a picture a fellow HQ member said i had way too much air in my tires. He was right Edited September 20, 2010 by RagunCajun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sootman73 Posted September 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Well im not so worried about drag racing though i will be doing some of that just between buddies but mostly trail/field stuff that requires quick cornering and turning. especially going around catch basins, road signs, and wood chuck mounds. But i'm gettin pumped for the crops coming off finally around me to get to ride more and get the speed up other than the road. my buddy wont race me on the road though i know my bike is faster than his. UPS says the tires are delivered too bad im stuck here at work until ten...... i'll throw em on while taking pics and let ya see how they changed the bike.
