Ihave another question. My 500 seems light in the front. I tried adjusting the suspension but don't really know what to do. The front shocks are on the lowest setting and the rears are in the middle. I am saying it is light because the front tires seem to push/plow while turning instead of grabbing. The tires are in pretty good shape (90% tread) so I don't really know where to start. I'd appreciate any advice.

Do a front end alignment first. Use an 1/8" to a 1/16" toe in (I have had better luck with a 1/16").

 

And those tires need to go. Tires on the Arctic Cat's make the biggest difference in handeling.

That said, I still have my stockers... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

Me too, but I've realigned it twice in 1700 miles.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

I will probably have to do that one of these days. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Maybe in the spring. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

There are a couple things that could be happening. First you could be getting steam in your airbox. That will choke it out. What size tires do you have? You may need to clutch it. But if it is steam you need to snorkle it.

 

The question that hasn't een asked is; Are you mudding in high or low range?

 

I used the Sea Foam and noticed a huge difference. She runs like a raped ape now. Thanks everyone.
