Well I use to have the king of the hill wheeler in the group that I ride with, but they have all upgraded to faster bikes. I think that it is time to trade the Scambler. I really love this wheeler, we have had some good, as well as some rough times together. I just can't stand being the slow man out anymore. Anyone know if a Predator will keep up with a mildly modified Banshee and a DS650. We mostly trail ride and hill climb, but I also have a 200ft dirt side by side drag strip in my backyard, that we use for trash talking. It has gotten so bad that I just watch them race now. Yeh, I'm a sore loser so I don't race anymore. Thanks in advance.

 

To be honest with you, a PROPERLY setup trail or race modded scrambler 400 should be able to take a mildly modded banshee and DS. I noticed that you dont have any clutch mods listed in your sig? With the 2 stroke motor, you really need to have the clutch setup for the engine mods, otherwise you will lack performance

 

i know what u mean lol my lil tb used to be the best of the best around here [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] and i just found a 1987 suzuki 250 quad racer for sell for 2000 or obo and im thinking about getting it from what they say on the suzuki forum it will beat raptors and banshees . i dont really know alot about suzuki theres only 2 of them around here a king quad and that quad racer and he never rides it there all yamaha, honda guys. but fell free to give me some info on them if you got any and heres that post http://forums.atvconnection.com/mess...did/388967.cfm

 

ATVJunkie,you still have a whole lot of power left to get out of that motor.Set up right you should have absolutely no problem taking on any of those bikes that you mentioned.Check into the race mod setup.

 

I have thought about the race setup, but I have been told that I wouldn't like it for trail riding and hill climbing. I also hate the thought of having to spend $5 a gallon for race fuel. On a good weekend I will burn two tanks of gas. I also have a HPD clutch kit, race buttons, and 700 belt on the 400. I have also done a serious airbox mod since my last post and taken the 4wd off. I guess I need to update all of my infomation.

 

My sons bike runs on av fuel which is only .5o cents more than 92. and competes with modified banshees, Raptors and? IF you like your 400 than it is worth it. All you need is someone that knows how to put the right combos together.

 

Have you tried to lighten it up other than removing the 4X4? Stuff like floor boards, flares (or mud flaps), and even the battery and starter ( if you don't mind pull starting it) should help quite a bit. I don't see why you'd have any trouble with the mods you've already got. Maybe a larger carb and trying a different pipe for more top-end would be a good idea if you had some extra $......

 

The HPD pipe is a whole lot more powerful than that FMF!! Or else there is always race mod hpd...or powermaxx...85 horse out of your scrammy will give them something to think about!!
