Default Dynos and springs?

Agreed. The TQ is what is King in a quick race or some hill climbing. With the V's Auto, doing wheelies is very easy but very controllable. On the stock V's at the shop I've ridden a wheelie on asphalt for the length of the parking until I ran out of room say about 100ft. or so without any issues and very little seat time..........don't let the owner of the dealership know...hee...hee!!!

As far drag racing the V, I would have to say there will be some skill at nailing the throttle hard and keeping it nailed while moving all your weight on the front of the bike just to keep the wheelies to a minimum. Fun actually since TQ is what scares a lot of people for some reason. From all of the readings I've sifted through, getting the bike to keep accelerating after the launch is the key to true dominance over other quads.

When I finally have mine in hand I will be picking your brain Alltoys for any and all tips!! Thanks!

I always explain it like this. Torque is what <u>gets</u> you going and Horsepower is what <u>keeps</u> you going.
