my guess is the clutch spring you had in accomadated the larger tires - now they are gone and the ratio of power to the ground is now different so wheelie it is</end quote></div>

all the spring does is bring the engaugment up to around 1850 +- where stock is closer to 1400 rpms. so it adds a little but not that in the wheelie department. the tires and extra weight is the biggest differnce.

 

My friend just sold his mint condition 26" tires ( Swamp Witches) to go back to 25" tires (Mud Lites) on his 660 Grizzly and he loves it. The ride is smoother,quicker and steers better with less effort.

The 26" tires sure looked good though.

 

grab them for your 01 500. must be way btter then the stock 489's you have.

 

The 26" tire were 1'1/4 lugs and 10" wide fronts with 12" wide rears If these tires had no air in them you could not tell,they were that stiff! The weight of the tire alone weight the same as his new 25" Mud lites with the rims!

I have those Goodyear Trackers,but when they wear out I think the 25" Mud lites will be the way to go for me.
