The 525irs weighs 395lbs and the Raptor is at 396lbs. I was talking about the Outlaw 525s in which weighs 375lbs and the 450 is 365lbs.

The 525s and irs have identicle fluids, so how can the 525s gain 27lbs, yet the 525irs gain 41lbs. With 2 gal in each, they both would only gain about 20-22lbs total. So the irs would be around 415-417lbs and the 525s would be 395-397.

What kind of aftermarket parts you looking for. Anything that goes for the KTM 525 engine on the dirtbike will go on the Quad 525 so the engine is covered pretty well.

JD jetting and dynojet both make jet kits for the Outlaw. There are several steering stabilizers for the Outlaw out. There are several full and slip on exhaust sytems out for the Outlaw IRS and SRA. Rath has anti-vibe mounts for it. Your aftermarket bars fit it. Trail Tech makes computers for the Outlaw. Rath also has a MX and XC a-arms for the outlaw. They have front stabilizer for TT racing for the Outlaw. John Galliger has several sway bar, front and back billet hubs and other mods for the Outlaw. There are several makers for nerf bars. There are several companies that make front bumpers and back grab bars. And the list will only get better.

If I was into drag racing or riding smooth dunes I would pick the SRA. But for ANY trail riding or rutted up dunes I will take my IRS every time. I have also taken my 525 IRS to play on some MX tracks and had a blast on. Of course I am biased but I really love the IRS.

yea i'm not gonna try to go pro in mx or anything but theres a couple tracks around here that have practice sessions open to sport atv's so i figured i'd ride on the track every once in a while. mostly i'll be doing trails. but i def. gonna put a jet kit, bumper, and exhaust. i really like the white brothers dual muffler system but not likeing the $800 price on it. i'll probably do an HMF exhaust. but would a full system be better or will a slip on do the job?

so basicly the IRS would suit me best for my riding? i like going fast and jumping is something i like doing (no doubles or anything but table tops etc.) so would the irs deal with that good?

Sounds like what I like to do,,, I really love jumping the IRS. Even if you land a little sideways the IRS soaks up the landing and evens you out.
