really to be honest i think its how u break it in

i think if u treat it like a baby, then later on it will act like one, but if u ride it normal and then it will kick *** forever

pretty much the same way as in trucks, how they could have the same engine but one seems to have more power than the other one

hey,
i got a 2000 recon and i dont believe that someone got a stock 250 up to 55. how fast does yours go? mine goes bout 50. and hey, if u ever need a set of tires get the REALITORS!!!! they make the biggest difference in the world.
