Default How High?

This may seem like a silly question but ...

How high is too high to jump a fully dressed sportsman 500 efi?

keep goin higher till it sounds/feels like your gonna break it.. and back it down a notch or two.. allot of it depends on your landings. on flat landings.. you want to have 10times the distance to height.. for example 7' off the ground you wanna go at least 70' but on a sportsman i wouldnt take a flat landing over say 3 feet. if you have a downhill landing you can get away with allot less distance and more height.

I guess my pup just lost a toy [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

Thanks for the info on the jumping b.t.w. .. I figured that it's probably not the best bike to be jumping .. it's probably close on 850lbs fully dressed, then me on top of that ..

Still .. the couple of very small jumps I've done she lands like she's on cotton .. very soft .. much softer than the Warrior ..
