Dude let me tell ya,wheels and tires are thw answer if you wanna keep the wheels do what KISSOFDEATH said to do but the Dunlops really hold the Brute back the first two weeks I had mine riding sorta sucked,this is the first IRS machine I ever had and I'll admit at first it was kinda scarry this much power with the tippy feeling,but now I have C-series wheels with 27" Mudlites and its really stable and a lot wider,50 1/2" in the rear, try tires before you sell it.

 

BigRanch,
What size should I get for the front and what size for the rear? With the mudlies, can you power slide at all? How much higher did the 27's make the BF. With all the tippy feeling, I was thinking of staying around the 25 mudlites.
Thanks!

 

I went with 27x10x12 in the front and 27x12x12 in the rear I didn't measure before I put them on but I've got 14" of GC at the floor boards and that tippy feeling is gone. As for power sliding the Mudlites grip the ground pretty good it will slide with a little body english added but they hook up on any soft ground.Mudlites may not be the tire for you but any tire wider than stock will make a huge difference I promise, 10's in front 12's in back.I hear the Holeshot ATR's are pretty good.

 

hey guys esp. kod will the spacers really take care of the tippy issues?? is the 1.5 the way to go?? we are wanting to trail ride and have steep hills we climb during hunt season not concerned with the sliding we have outgrown that stuff does anyone know if there is a real problem with the bf raring up on hill climbs?? is it a throttle issue just using too much or what is it that much worse than the p700?? we have a bf camo on order and are wondering if we should be reconsidering the p700 instead?if there is a raring up issue is there anything to help prevent it like more weight on the front any suggestions appreciated 2.5 winch included in deal - thanks

 

For the type of riding I do and places I ride the 1.5" wheel spacers would be a must have item. They will really help. The winch will help hold you down if there is an issue with a light front end, " I dont know anything about that". Personally for my type of riding I would save some money and get the P700. Its much more stable on side hills. If you havent done so take a look at "My 650 Photos" and look at the P650 comarison to the BF. Paint a mental image of you riding both in your hunting area. Then you will see how the 3" extra width of the spacers will help.

 

thanks!! i know u ride the breaks and we have the same type of mountainous terrain so where do we find the best deal on the spacers are they readily available our dealer says there is only a few hundred bucks difference between the p700 and the bf and any idea why no 700s are on the floor yet?? we saw the team green and that's it!

 

KOD and others,
My dealer might let me out of the BF if I am willing to get the p700. Worth it?
Is a stock P700 need anything mod to handle what the BF could?
thanks!

 

I dont know why I didnt see where you were from to start with. Im going back to Breaks, VA to ride this coming weekend would you be interested in riding with my group?

If you check around you will find an 04 P700 for around 6700 OTD. Just check out this site and their prices. To my understanding from guys who have been there you pay the price on that page plus the sales tax and thats it.

Let me know about this weekend if you are interested.
