Thanks for the explanation Waylan. Once we think we know a lot of details about our rides, we find out that there are thousands of little things leaft to be learned.

That even gave me a better description of why my father-in-laws' SP500 pulls different than my Xplorer. His, in low gear, seems to pull heavy trailor loads better than mine. The Xplorer seems to have tons more wheel spin, even in low range. I prefer it in mud and more agresive riding but his is smoother for pulling trailors and climbing at really slow speeds.

Hey Chopper,

They mill the head to raise compression up. Up here at 6000+ feet you can get away with it no problem. You gain back a little of what you lost due to altitude. Now if you went to sea level you might want to run the 95 octane or better that you can buy down there. My dad wanted to have his RSE done to keep up with the HO. I don't know when he is going to do it but probably soon. I also heard him talking about getting another winch for the HO. The HO is proving to be a riot to ride. If we had any cross country racing events around here I know I could talk him into buying another one just to race.
