Hey Easymac~
I'm interested as to how your Rancher's suspension compares to my Scrambler's. When my Scrambler was new, I was only about 160lbs and I bottomed the suspension numerous times. I find it hard to believe you haven't bottomed your suspension! also, get a polaris on the ice and do some donuts...having all 4 wheels pulling can and does produce some seriously quick circles!

Take it easy Mac. I have a 450ES that floats. Yes,
FLOATS!!! It didn't always float. Their were test runs(floats)that didn't actually, well, float. I've had the bike completely under water a few times. The screen has never fogged up or gave me any problems. The headlight either for that matter. On polaris forums you can go to texmudders site next time it pops up and go to pics. One is labled "some guy floating". That's me. Take it easy and don't worry. It's a honda.

yup, left it in my heated garage all night and the lights came right back on, mind you they seem dimmer now and when I shut the engine off it seems like they get dimmer, prob just the gas fumes from me spilling gas filling it up

snowshark--- Yeah I jump mine. Nothing extreme though. I went riding this weedend with a 4x4es. They jump totally different!!! The 4x2 is fun and pretty easy to handle in the air. In comparison the 4x4 is like driving a tank over a small bus.
Not to crack on the 4x4's they just aren't as much fun to drive. However, they do handle hills and mud better. (but not by much)

You get 4 feet of air? Is that 4 feet high, or 4 feet distance? Anyone have any pics of a Rancher in the air? Thanks.
