TLD PREDATOR 5th gear
Yes I like my std. very well...but I have not rode the TLD. So I don't know nothing about it. I posted the gear ratio for some people in the sport quads thread. And they was saying that they changed them all on the TLD, and I told them it was only 2-4. 1 & 5 was the same. I would never say anything bad about the TLD...like I said before, thats what I wanted in the frist place. But i'm happy with what I got.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Depends on who you ask lol. I believe laws limit the top speed to 75 stock on all quads sold new.
Low 70's is common..

If you pay attention to most of the threads that say different then you will see most of them are posted by youngsters that either blow smoke outta their asses or by people that dont evan have one. The thing that really gets me are the posts made by somebody that heard something from someone.... or the posts made by someone that may have ridden on one for a few minutes if they were lucky enough to have a dealer that would let them lug it around the parking lot. Yes you all know who you are so stop makin a fool outta yourselves and go pick on your little sisters or brothers again.
As for the gearing that the TLD actually is ( which is posted in my TLD manual ) 1st gear=2.4 for both TLD and Std 2nd gear=1.9 TLD 1.6 Std 3rd gear=1.5 TLD 1.3 Std 4th gear= 1.2 TLD 1.1 Std 5th gear= 0.9 for both TLD and Std Drive ratio= 14/38 final
I've ridden my TLD just over a month now and theres absolutely nothing wrong w/ the spacing between 4th and 5th gear. It feels fine. And yes a pipe will help you greatly along with and airbox mod; and the TLD takes to mods extreamly well...... what are you smokin??????OOOHHH.... thats right... your one of the ones that knows what your talkin about....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Just another example of how full of CRAP so many magazines are. I guess Dirtwheels couldn't find enough bad things to write about, so they started making up stuff........ I'd buy a TLD no questions asked if I had the cash........ [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

The only performance mods I have dont to it is a White brothers E-series pipe w/ 12 disks on it and Hardrocks airbox mod with a K&N. Thats about all I need for now till its rebuild time [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]. The good thing about a White Brothers pipe is that the disks can be removed or added for low end gain or top end gain. I had the same set-up on the 03 Predator that I totalled last spring and I liked it alot. The 03 was lacking some serious low end in my opinion and this set-up corrected that problem. The 05 TLD obviously doesnt need as much low end touque as the 03 did, so Im gonna have to add some more disks to it later. But for now it is great. If I remember right ; Jason at Hardrock Motorsports said this slip-on with 12 disks and the airbox mod would give me about 5-7hp.You can deffently feel the difference when you install it. If you do any major mods to your motor then they will reccomend a different pipe. Obvously each pipe will react differently to each motor that is set-up differently. They do alot of Dyno work for pipes.... along w/ Rath and Nicholas. I would deffinatly call one of the 3 and tell them what you intend to do with your motor ; if anything, before I purchased any pipe.

Yes you have to rejet after adding an airbox mod or a pipe. Anytime you let more air in or free up the flow out then you should rejet or at minimal just check to make sure your not to lean. If you call any of those places that I stated they will give you a good base line where to start based on your elevation. And dropping a tooth will give you more gain on top end but it will also effect your low end also. Just one tooth on the back sprocket wont effect it to badly IMO. But if I were you and you are planning to get a pipe and airbox mod; I would do that first, and if you still need more top end then I would play w/ the sprocket. But I dont think you will need to after a pipe and airbox mod. It really depends on what type of riding you are planning on doing. You also have to take into consideration that the article that Dirtwheels put out was for a stock..... unmodified TLD. It may have been a whole new can of worms if it had a pipe and airbox mod. Just my 2 cents.
