ok heres the deal I raced my 00 400ex this weekend
ac nerfs, bumper,renthal bars pro circuit pipe, k&n filter jet kit pro design kill switch anyways I need some front end stability but i am basically broke and i was first wondering about tires would you buy some bandits or fast trekers for around 40$ or would you spend more and get mx grooved tires like rikens. next would you trust wheel spacers on the front and back or just on front or rear. i heard they are hard on the spindles. I want to win and i am a good enough rider but i just didnt have the equipment. I led the first lap but its so hard to hang on when you are racing +2 fronts and rears . so what do you think

I believe he means to turn the whole wheel and rim around. So, the valve stem would be towards the center of the quad. This won't harm the rear. Now, on the fronts, the valve stems might hit on the brakes. Haven't tried it though. One more thing, I had bandits on the front and it seemed to me that the quad wanted to wander from left to right. They didn't give me the bite I was looking for. Hope that helps
