Hello everyone,
Just picked up my first ATV
2008 500 canadian trail edition....
Changed out tires and rims aswell....

Just looking around site now............looks good so far with lots of great info.

what size tires did u get?

 

26X10x12

Seem to work well so far.

 

Excellent choice, the Canadain Trail edition Rubicon is an excellent bike....the shock settings, spring rates and shock angles make it ride as close to an IRS bike that a SRA bike can. I wish that canadian dealers could order those shocks seperatly...I'd have a set in a heartbeat. The tranny in the Rubi is great, if I were buying a new bike it would be a very hard choice between the reliability of the 500Foreman, or the more technologically advanced Rubicon CTE. Great Wheels too.

 

Had a awesome ride tonight !!!!!!!

Lots of mud and great tour down the shoreline here....... Got into some big rock and dirt hills that did seem a bit steep at the time......... After a few runs up and down them i started trusting the machine [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Only issue i got so far is the tires scrub on these rods that hold up the plastic part where your feet sit. Dealer recomended just banging them in with hammer but i think ill do it right .......lol

Also need to install the winch i have.... Its a warn 2500lb

Running in water just over the foot rests make a need for any maintenance?
How long running at top speed is ok?

Thanks
Derrick
