When are you going back to Spurgeon?

 

I'm going Sat. Will be there Around 10ish. Dobie

 

If you start to slow down in the mud use the diff lock. Thats what it's for.
I have a 650 but I always use low in the mud or any time I'm riding slow. It's better on the belt.

 

Gotta disagree again--you dont want to pull the diff lock in the middle of a mud puddle with the wheels spinning---bad bad bad
the impact will surely break something---i would hold that diff lock on the whole time--ROCK AND ROLL

 

You can pull the diff lock at any speed or with the wheels spinning. That’s what it is made for. It is not like meshing gears or a mechanism that locks together. they are plates that work using friction. You can even feather it if you want.
Just a warning, I don't recommend doing it at fast speed or when spinning tires fast on a dry surface.(like a hill climb) When that tire does start pulling it can cause you to lose control.

All of this is assuming it is the same as a 650.

 

Hey MDG---I didnt know that---I always thougt it was a lever that pulled a gear into place---if this is true, i will be using mine a bit differently

thanx
