a buddy of mine at school just got a brand new predator for christmas, this weekend we are gonna do a little drag racing as wel as mx riding, i know i wont beat him, but the machanic at the local dealer said, if he built me a 416 for my 400ex and a different sprocketand with my mods i have plus the 416(from curtis sparks i assume) i will be able to out run him, what do you think?

 

i wouldn't get your hopes. Maybe if he geared you all for top speed you would have a faster top speed. But i wouldnt think so in a drag.

 

ok, well ive been meaning to change my profile, so my current mods are below now, sry bout that forgot to mention it

 

i think the only way you will beat him is put a bigger engine in yours, i don't think there is any way to beat him in a drag race.

 

Bad news

I have a fully modded 416ex and every sproket combo for it. My stock Predator with stock gearing will out run it if your running over 300 feet. Under 300 feet you gotta be spot on to beat it and then it's only by inches. You have a better chance on gravel then ashpalt, the ex will loop out while the predator won't.

On the track the Predator is faster. The Ex's power is strong and not as easliy controlable without alot of suspension work.

I'm a Honda guy and just bought my TLD Predator so I would have a new bike, thinking I would trade it in on the next new Honda. Well, the next new Honda is going to have to be very impressive before I give the Pred up.

I still can't believe I OWN AND LIKE A POLARIS.
