If you hit a rock on the left side - it will obvously bounce you to the right - but - the TRV wants to rock back to the left and then to the right again. Whereas you keep yourself on the machine with your arms mostly, you counter each movement - The more movement, the more work. Depending on your weight, the pax weight and the gear your carrying - it gets progressively more noticeable as the total GVW goes up.

I personally will not spend $7K on a cadillac quad and beat the snot out of it. These are built like tanks quads but there is nothing that doesn't break given enough force (see space shuttle Columbia). I also beleive in a measured break in period as mfg. recommended. I have every intent to still be using these things in 2020 and beyond. You might have other ideas ....lol

WhoDat I run a maint dept for a pharnaceutical co and I know how take care of things. I don't really mean kill it I will take in all the suggested mfg recomendations but it would be nice to know that if I need that extra umph the trv will be there for me. I don't intend to wreck it but I don't want a machine I have to baby.

Thats a HSRDATVFMS Homeland Security Rapid Deployment ATV Fired Missle System that uses infrared laser guidance from the detachable ComSAT PAK system mounted in that front cargo box. We call it a Has-R-dat- VF- MS system. The rear seat elevates on a 22 foot telescoping fibre optic pole which contains the actual "death ray" laser beam that steers the missle right up the back side of whom ever you point the thing at. Anyone can get one by demonstrating a serious interest in collecting the OleBen Loggin bounty. Rumor has it that OleBen Loggin was seen in northern MN with his cross dressing wife Ya-Sure-Youra-Fat and the Ben Loggin rebels in their customary red plaid Jehad shirts and scrufy beards.

But for the general non-actuated civilains we claim that to be fishing poles so as to not upset the locals.

We use split rods but thanks to a couple of golf club tubes they stay untangled from each other.. We fish lakes and rivers where there isn't a normal access. I could tell you where - but I wont so that we dont have to kill you according to the HSRDATVFMS instruction book....lol I use to carry ice fishing rigs but its hard to cast very far up river with a 32inch pole.

The 500 in the TRV is all the umph anyone needs. Just wait - the extra long wheel base makes this thing ride
like the rest of the quads only wish they could.

So you admit to having a history of abusing your equipment.

What we need to know now is how you knew this and when did you first know it.
