Bill Posted August 15, 2006 Report Posted August 15, 2006 I went riding with freinds sunday and it kicked ass through the trails,then I went down a long stait and all the gears rapped just fine but 6th wouldnt top out.It would get about half way through and hold it there.Any opinions would be great.thanks Quote
liquedfire Posted August 15, 2006 Report Posted August 15, 2006 gearing??? would be my guess or u have low compression when it heats up? Quote
dajogejr Posted August 15, 2006 Report Posted August 15, 2006 List mods, as well as gearing and rear tire size....and were these hard pack or sandy trails... Quote
Bill Posted August 15, 2006 Author Report Posted August 15, 2006 (edited) I got fattys/boysen reeds/k@n with out lid/boost bottle/rears are shedders and it was kinda sandy. oh yea stock gearing Edited August 15, 2006 by Bill Quote
dajogejr Posted August 15, 2006 Report Posted August 15, 2006 Good luck winding out 6th gear with just those mods in sandy trails... I'd bet if you got on hard pack ground or asphalt it'd be fine....Sand robs power big time, especially since 6th is geared so tall... Try winding out 5th until you can't anymore...and grab 6th...but, I bet it's just the sand robbing you! Quote
Bill Posted August 15, 2006 Author Report Posted August 15, 2006 (edited) well the place we went was somewere in Rose City and it had a big sand hill and when I go up it I had to stay in 3rd because 4th would just bog.It was a good time tho.thanks Edited August 15, 2006 by Bill Quote
dajogejr Posted August 17, 2006 Report Posted August 17, 2006 Rose City, MI? Really....got any more info? Quote
Bill Posted August 17, 2006 Author Report Posted August 17, 2006 Im not sure what the trail heads called but if you turn the corner where the Pink Store is its less than A mile on the left.The trails are tight and lots of big woops,if you pick up A map for the trails it shows awsome routs to take and they go on for miles.Lots of mixed traffic roads to open that baby up,and pretty big sand hill climbs.great time!

dajogejr Posted August 17, 2006 Report Posted August 17, 2006 That's the MIO trails....and Bull Gap. You can have 'em. They are simply too tight and whooped out for me. You need to try the UP, Cheboygan and Peacock trail system. Wide open...4 and 5th gear trails... YOu'll love 'em!! Quote
