Hi every one,i'm new to this site and love the forum's.My question is,i am seriously thinking of buying a new pred.(T.L. model) and was wondering if any one had any problem's from rock's hitting or mud building up on the rear shock resevior and the electrical component's mounted around the battery area?I have had many quad's,dirt bike's and snowmobile's,and by looking at it,seem's like they would have mounted thing's in better location's or provided protection for certain thing's.I know you can get and need guard's for the rad.,over flow bottle,a-arm,s,etc,but other item's or isn't this a problem?I'm not going to race it just trail ride but take pride in my toy's(you know how it is).Currently have a scrambler 500(thought it was time to slow down) and bought my little girl a predator 90 for her birthday.Love the look's of that thing.Before that i had a mod.250r,I know these thing's rip but it feel's awfully small when sitting on it.I am 6'1" and 200lbs and was wondering if any of you bigger guy's felt a little cramped when riding?I sure could use all your pro's and con's because i have been thinking maybe i should get a ds650x or a kfx700 just because of the size. Yea i know all of the issue's.weight,power loss,etc.,etc.,etc. Any one????? Thank's in advance

Welcome Tar. With the positioning of the heelguards and fender coverage, things don't get as dirty as you would think. They do catch some, but the direct plane of rotation of the tire is mostly covered w/ the bodywork. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
