Just wanted to post a pic and video of my new outy. I didn't want to embed, but I wanted to share the video. Admins/Mods, I will not be offended if you take the video down, but I can not seem to get it to post without embedding.

sickkk quad......so now that it's sold..what are the plans for the 09??

Not real sure. I know it is begging for a dual exhaust. The plastics will remain. Skids will probably be the first thing that goes on it. It comes with respectable tires for factory so I'm not going there yet. It honestly has all the power you could want for everyday riding. I hardly have any miles on it yet, but I am picking out some things that it needs.

did the wheels and tires erally cut down on the power?

It wasn't a bad difference per say, but it was def. noticable. That is the reason I have 4, 450 weights to go in the clutch. This simple mod should give it back the bottom end that was taken by the tires/wheels.

Sense it's sold (I think), I'm not going to put them in, but I will send them with the quad so the new owner can do if they choose.

yea wat r the plans for that beast??

I think I'll just love on it for awhile. LOL. This machine (800RXT) is awesome!

Well, the grizz is all but gone. I just picked up a 2009 Camo Outlander 800Rxt. First response? :leghump:

I might be skipping the price catagory, but he ITP Holeshots are great all round tires.

I wear a Fox MX Helmet. It's "ok" as far as fitment.

My lil one wears a full face as well.

Nice Trailers.....

Have you guys ever been here...

ATV Wagon high performance ATV trailers- ATV Dump Trailer - ATV Dumping Cart -Rhino UTV Trailer- Hunting Trailer -Rhino side by side trailer -Utility Trailer-ATV Pull Behind Trailer

Yeah...I've seen those. If I were going to spend that much I'd probably go with one of these: CLICK HERE FOR THE MOUNTAIN GOAT TRAILER

Nice trailer. The length of it makes it easy to back up. I recently purchased a trailer for hauling things as well. No lights and I doubt it backs as well as yours but it appears to be quality built and fairly stable. I will put it through the works to find out. lol

I HIGHLY recommend the ITP terracross. They are an AMAZING trail tire. They work great as a mud tire for the occasional mud hole/pit. They are a six ply tire with great side lugs for protecting the side walls and getting you out of ruts. They have a killer, aggressive look and the performance is just as great as their looks. This is what I have on the Rhino.

FWIW, some friends just went on a pretty good ride and the terra's out peformed the bighorns. Of course they were in wooded terrain for the most part. I'm not so sure this would have been true if they were on extreme rock.

Later

Sucker looks good!!

Time to move on and upgrade another?

Of course.

My buddy just shipped out to IRAQ and is on a base, I'm gonna ask him if they are using them, where he is.

Any FOB (Forward Operating Base) in Iraq or Afgan is going to have them (except maybe the most remote ones). I promise. You will also find them everywhere in the rear bases. Heck, we have 2 John Deere Gators in my motor pool.

God Speed to your buddy.

Thans for the info! I've never seen that atvtirture site before.

It was recently switched to new software and over the last couple days have changed hosts and did a server upgrade. Common over anytime you like. I'm not trying to steal traffic, just a friendly invite. Need anything while your over there just gimme a shout.

I had never seen this site before yesterday. Kinda cool when you find a new ATV Forum. It's amazing what we can learn from other sites too. Hope you don't mind me pokin round here. I will keep link backs to a minimum or not at all if that's the rules.

Thanks for the compliments. I listed most of the mods below although I'm sure I'm forgetting something. I haven't done much power wise; just a few bolt on things. I just wanted to trick this quad a bit on the cosmetic side. The paint is a process called water transfer printing and it is pretty much a paint job complete with automotive grade clear coat.

Oh yeah. She's for sale on ebay (item number: 180297349840). I hate to sell her but change is ever present in my life.

Just thought I'd post a pic of my quad in the "modify your ride" thread.

Well, there are bias ply and true ply. If you want a great trail tire, you should consider the Maxxis Bighorn or ITP Terracross.

If you want just plain tuff...589's are just that. They will find the bottom of the mud fast though.

Home - ATV Torture - ATV Aftermarket Product Reviews offers reviews of some tires. We have more on the way. We are upgrading the site so please understand if it isn't functional when you visit.

You want a great place to get tires. Contact Mike at Dick's ATV : The best deals on ATV Tires, Parts and Accessories

I recently returned from Iraq, and there was everything. Yami Rhino's, kawi mules, popo rangers, john deere gators. If you look closely at the riders though, you will find the contractors use about everything they can get their hands on, the Military uses John Deere and Polaris. Oh...wait...I'm talking sxs's though...not utility atv's.

Thought this was a utility discussion...anyways, you ask which is better for trails and drag...dude...you need two different machines. For the machines you listed, I'd put money that a good yfz will smokem both and you won't be wore out when your done.

Unless you are racing, these bars would be hard to justify. Go spend 40-70 bucks on a set of solex or trail techs. You won't believe the difference in feel and your bank account won't suffer to much.
