Len, now if they had offered it to start out with you would not have all this work to do, and could be out riding. They are just making life hard on guys like you. LOL This was meant to be a "wouldn't it be cool" thread with a lot of tongue and cheek. And let me tell oyu what you are doing is VERY COOL!!!!!!!!!!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Go read up on the TLD Pred, inform yourself, then come back and we can have an intelligent coversation. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Better yet, go ride the machine, and stop listening to what other people say....form your own opinion.
I've been on the pred, and as I've said its a great consumer machine. It's just not a racer. I'm not listening to what others say, I'm speaking from what I see.

One podium finish in almost three years and you're cocky? BRP has its niche, and so do the 450 quads. The pred is in GNCC because it cant be competitive anywhere else. It took the largest pred ever built to get Rath to a flattrack win, and he is an excellent rider.

I was going slow, didn't even get thrown, and I had to replace the a arm, and rebuild the a arm mount. as for the rear, My buddies scrammy has the fox rear shock and it holds up great when I sit on it. They should have never changed it in 04.

I have ridden many quads and the scrammy does ride nice compared to most sport quads, I did my research and the scrammy was the only one that fit all my needs.

Like I said I love my scrammy, just wish the landings were a little better. Im sure after market shocks would do the trick, just little short on cash(putting wife through school).
Jim, you can always upgrade your front and rear suspentions. I agree, they should have kept the fox rear.

I did the same (tree) with my scrammy and no damage whatsoever.

I might agree with you except for the fact that I highly doubt that any serious racing quad is totally stock. I suspect there is big money pumped into these quads. The only thing I as a "consumer rider" can do is compare stock quads. Given that, seems there are very few (if any) stock quads better than the Predator.

ok before i state the fact i know im going to get spit on bashed what ever by polaris guys but what is the matter with polaris they make a 500cc pred and it barely holds up to my 400ex i mean damn it should run a thousand circles around the ex but all the polaris preds ive raced have been beaten bye my ex and if u look at my mods that is pathetic if u ask me i raced one last summer with whith brothers pipe not sure if it was jetted but i race it about 300 yards and beat him it was just a friendly fun race but i beat him what went wrong with the pred we both took off from 1st gear just putted to second then naild the gas but i out ran him dont make no sence to me at all and also is it just the ones i see or all but the pred sounds like it is ready to fall apart the motor makes the worst clanking sound i have ever seen but that was a 02 and 03 model so any way clear up my data i just put on the board please

Tailgunner a Pred will destroy a 400 EX, a lot depends on the rider. Hell, I will beat your EX with my 400 Scrambler!
The 500 Pred is faster than a 660 (Raptor), both stock.
