Default Wheel spacers

I was just wondering how well wheel spacers work on smaller quads (90cc - 50cc). Do they really help even with the limited wheel travel of the smaller bikes?

Yes - they do help. One of the best "safety improvement" upgrades we've done to our Trail Riding mini. If wondering, we have an '03 Pred-90 and have 1.5" spacers on the front & back. In the winter within our small back yard, we only use front wheel spacers. Spacers on the front is the best. Many say that "only rear" spacers make a mini more tippy. Luckily, the springs on our Pred-90 are factory stiff. Spacers on the front gave our mini better / softer front suspension and much more stability around the sharp corners. From a safety perspective, all minis should be wider on the front. If you are into racing, many say that wider A-Arms with off-set shock upgrades are the best. But for trails, I'd recommend wheel spacers on the front. All 4 tires if you can afford them.
