I'm a 5-9,,152# I think I am one of the bigger ones [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

hey the less weight gives me more HP [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Roost did u get ur clutch springs on order yet?

 

ya one thing i dont like about dragging other quads (specifically my buddies YFZ's) is they weigh like 150 each! so with me weighing a solid 50-100 lbs more than some riders, it makes it just that much more difficult to put them to shame [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] (but thats what mods are for [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] )


*** EDIT *** Not yet, just waiting on a response from Marky at On-dunes about the Gasket for the clutch. (that way i dont have to drive an hour to pick one up) Hopefully tomorrow [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] *also, u have mail [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] *

 

I am 6'4" and 250 lbs and i have always tried to compensate by utilizing my riding skills to their fullest.I do quite a bit of sand drag racing and while weight does make a huge difference you can do well if you work on being better than most others at your shifting and clutch work.While being bigger than your average rider can be a liability when drag racing it can help in tight trail riding and aggresive dune riding because if you have the strength to go along with your size you can muscle your quad around to make it do what you want it to.Some bigger riders are big without being in shape and that would definitely be a hinderance so i try to stay fit and constant riding helps with that.

 

What did u ask marky about the gasket? He should have them on his bombardier parts page. Lance
