Just wondering what you guys think about a stock 700lbs ATP catching some decent air on jumps w\ stock suspension??

 

i jumped my 800 a few times, be carefull though, very dangerous

 

Dangerous for the rider or the bike?

 

I jump mine quite a bit and have not had any problems, the lasding on my 760 pound sportsman is a lot softer than that of my 450 pound Honda rancher.

 

Thats why so many are in saying they break..
A sportsman is NOT a for jumping....but they will just be ready for when something breaks.
750lbs + you flying in the air=OH $hit

 

I would be prepared to replace some parts. The heavier a vehicle is the more stress it is put under. They were not designed to be getting some airtime. I didn't break anything on my 700lb SP335 whenever I jumped it a few times, but I wouldn't want to try it again. It is basically like a cow flying through the air.

 

i actually liked jumping our old 500, it is a bit intimidating at first

 

I have had some good air on my 800. Prolly around 40mph and i spaned about 15 feet at least. Watch out the 800's suspension is soft. It usually lands like butter. However on one ocasion I completely bottomed out the suspension and I bounced. Luckly I was still on it. It is fun, but dangerous. If I tighten up the rear shocks a few clicks, and change the front springs to something a tad stiffer It would be better, but I don't jump all the time so I know where my limitation is now.

 

your front end should squat as soon as you hit your jump, i dominated some asfault with my front skid plate by doing it. wripped a sheet about a foot long out of the street. be very carefull

 

This is not reccommended at all......I think, you can actually hurt your cvt joints, and tear the little boots by jumping too.....I wouldn't do it if it were me....remember that is a pretty expensive piece of machinery to be jumping.....especially when not made for it....



If you want to jump, buy a pred.....
