ok when ever im going up a hill or in mud and im in reverse for reason with my new tires it will sit there and jump sounds like it about to snap the axel or somthing it did it every now and then with my old tires but since i just put these highlifter outlaws on it does it worss unless i put it in 4wd and it want do it only does in 2wd reverse i have seen other atvs do that on video is it comon or could it be a lot of tration i have no clue ?

 

they all will do it in the right situation. if you think about it, when you go forward the rear end squats and puts pressure on the rear wheels to give you traction. Now when you go in reverse the rear wheels want to lift up, the front squats, which in return makes you lose traction so you wheel hop. any time i think this might happen i will lock it in 4 wheel drive so i dont ruin the drive train.

 

yeah its normal but dont keep doing it if you can avoid it. mudslinginfool is right on. you keep doing that and youll damage your drive train 27's are alot of tire for a 400 in the first place granted it looks awesome by the way. i have a 400 and it doesnt look that bad ***. but you will damage drivetrain components

 

I have a 07 400 and it did it somewhat with the stock tires and it really got bad when I put on some executioner tires. I believe it has alot to do with the amount of traction your getting more than anything (IMO). I just take it easy on it when it starts that crud. How does your 400 pull those 27s and what is the true size of the tires (or what do they measure on your quad)?

 

front is 27-9.50-12 back is 27-12-12 it put it up about 3 inches it turns them great its just reverse in mud that dont turn them as good im getin a suppertrapp mudslinger pipe and my carb rejeted to help reverse my buddy just got a 08 arctic cat 500m with 27 inch mudlites and i would say my 400 out crawls him highlifter didnt lie wen they said they dont clog up as easy there great tires i luv them

 

sorry just curious, what does the "M" designation stand for on the new quads? been outa the loop lately

 

manual

 

well i thought that was the obvious answer but i went over to the ac site and under the utility models it lists "500 4x4 Automatic M4" same with the 700, no 400 M4 listed though.

 

The tires look great are they heavy? My 400 is red also I think the 400s are the best looking of all arctic cats and I love them in red or the green. Wish I would have got the 27s but they will have to wait till next time.

 

there not that heavy i cant remimber how mutch they are i think they are like one of the lightes 100% mud tires u can get that i know of have u had any work done to the engine on your atv's?
