the 2006 predators suposedly put 52 at the crank

 

you best just rest up there school skipper before I call the principal on you!

52 is a pretty good number for a machine of that weight.

 

I could tell the ergonomics are WAY different huge improment.
last night we parked them side by side to compare the seat it different the bike sits about a 1/2 inch higher. I hope the sitting higher won't mess up handling.

is it a bit shorter then the 03? liike to be 1/2 inch to an inch shorter.

 

i actually got back from the docter not to long ago, i have strep, and i have to stay home today and tommarow, and finals are tommarow and friday. just my luck huh?

 

yeah, polaris shortend the swing arm in 2004

and as far as being taller, the only reason i could think of it being taller would be that yoru shocks arnt broken in yet

 

What does the weight have to do with or how does it effect crank HP? Don't read anything into my question there, and I'm not trying to be a smartazz, I really don't know how some of this stuff is measured.

 

too sick for school, but well enough to ride...LOL

 

just making my own comparison between my sp600 with hp in the low 40's and weight in the low 700's. just a pounds per hp comment. a machine's weight in relationship to the hp of it's motor has everything to do with it. probably the most important component of enthusiast riding/driving. that goes for anything with a motor, from a go-cart to the Bugatti Veyron with a top speed of 253 mph and over 1000 ponies!

 

Ohhhhh, okay, I misread your comment and was thinking weight was effecting HP, but you were talking power to weight ratios. Gotcha...thanks for clearing that up.

 

How hard is it to put the rezzies on the front shocks i've seen them on ebay for 300 bucks shipped.

Do i have to get the shocks totally rebuilt?

I wanted the std gear box pred but i want rezzie shocks.
