Thanks
Thanks for all the input. Im going to wait and see what the new scrambler specs are. My scrambler is awesome in the tight trails I have no problem keeping up with outlaw's there it when we hit wider trails with more straight aways that they pull away. I lighted my scrambler with aluminum wheels but its still a heavy bike. I like the suspension it handles jumping no problem. I just wish I could get more power out it. Did any one see the scrambler on u tube with the polaris 700 cc sled motor in now that thing could keep u with anything. Check it out ski-doo motor overview, ski-doo motor 2,3,4.

I would not want to be trying to keep up with Outlaws on a Scrambler 500, or Can Am 800 or anything bigger and heavier that Polaris is going to put out for 2010.
What you need for that is a lighter, better handling bike.
It's about like this dude... picture yourself on an Outlaw 500 with a 200lb girlfriend on the back, riding double... do you expect to keep up easily?
That is the reality of it.
If you really like the Scrambler type machine and the auto trans, try finding yourself an old 2 stroke 400 2x4. They are a good 100 lbs lighter, which is huge, and they are tons quicker.... and you can turn them into an animal for a lot less money.
Mine is basically stock, except for a few minor changes, mostly for better handling.
And I can keep up, and flat check out on guys in a lot of places.
I can't stress enough what a difference 100 lbs is.
Mine weighs 100 less than yours, and my two Jap bikes weigh 100 lbs less than it.
For me, getting off one and on to another, I can REALLY feel the difference.
