sweet how much snow was there? where are you from? what did you ride?

 

probably 4-6 " in the deepest parts on the North sides of the hills, BUT NONE on the South sides !!!

 

I'm from Logan, UT 2h40m away, and I was on the 'Shee in my sig !! And my friend (he lives in Rigby) was on his 'Zuki 450R

 

:biggrin:

sweet so how did the banshee run?

 

It seemed to do OK !!!, I was hopping to beat the shit out of the 450R but in the finally race we were DEAD EVEN from the start all the way to the top of the hill, I even waved...

 

He has pipes, and electronics ("cherry bomb") on the 450R

 

I was having one hell of a time coming out of the hole though, even with the +6 and 10 paddles it seemed to spin more than I thought it would ???

 

Over all I'm VERY pleased with the new machine though, even caught a LITTLE air with it :)

if you arent already. try starting off in 2nd. Also try letting out some in the tires too. Im not sure but it could be that your clutch could be slipping :confused:

I did try taking off in 2nd once, but I bogged ( I didn't dare give it a full throttle dump, as I'm new to the quad thing)....

 

and you are right I had like 6-7 psi in the paddles and I talked to the previous owner again and he said he used to run around 4 psi... I guess next ride we will see if I can get it out of the hole better

if im not mistaken. you should beable to take off in 2nd fairly easy with that gearing. i was able to do it with 14/42. But yeah, letting air out will be like a night and day difference in traction :thumbsup:
