hello all i am new to forum and i have a tire question? i have an 04 prairie 700 and just bought 27" mudlites on c-series wheels. do i need to put a new spring in the clutch or will the stock one be ok?

thanks.

 

Prarie 700, I have the same set up on my p700.400 mi.on it and all is working good. hope you like your p700 as much as i do.you should look in to a new set of skid plates if you ride rough, the stock one are like tin foil. i put on a full set of ricochet, thay went on easy and work well in the mud around here. good luck.

 

logger, thanks for the reply. yes i love this machine incredible power. where can i find info on the skid plates? i am looking to replace because you are right they are flimsy.

 

That is the same wheel/tire set up I just put on mine and can't wait to ride it more than on the street - hopefully this weekend. I got my skid plate at http://www.4atvtires.com/ as they were one of the few that state the skid plate fits the 700. I'm planning on doing some clutch/spring work just to help protect the belt.

 

prarie700, atvoutfitters.net has them.

 

mike r. what is a progressive front end? thank you.

 

The progressive front end is the adjustable front spring kit that I put on. It really helps the ride and load carrying capacities. Thier info is at http://www.progressivesuspension.com/31-series-atv.html . I got them off of ebay for $115.

 

mike, how much better is the progressive front end vs. the stock?

 

That is kind of a subjective question but here is my opinion. I like it allot better it got rid of the nose dive and gave me a better more sporty ride. Depending on what you do it may or may not be right for you. I carry 3.5 gallons of gas on my front rack which is why I got it - to retain a good ride under load. I just put it on and have only one ride with it and no real rides on it with the new tires...

Enjoy!

 

The Progressive Kit, along with "real" tires, will get rid of that "Prairie Push" in the front end. You, know , that feeling that the outside frt. tire is just gonna' peel off the rim in a sharp, high speed turn!
IMO the best mods you can make to a Prairie 650/700 are :#1 TIRES! #2-the EPI "black spring" for the driven(secondary) clutch #3-Progressive frt. springs #4-- a good exhaust/jetting/air filter
Enjoy your new toy.....I am on my 3rd V-Twin Kaw.
