lol-

my wifes switch stopped working long ago- and then she cut her rope so I couldn't sneak over at night and pull it

nothing like being, uhhh... trapped in bed with a, ummm- an atv that wont start

 

Maybe she needs a better "starter"

 

Now,does that mean a battery with more amps
Or a starter with a larger drive

Sparta, hows them Grim Reapers doing now? compared to the Black Diamonds?

 

probably needs both

I prefer the way the BDs handle but the Grim Reapers are more aggressive in the snow and I would have to "assume" that they are more aggressive in the mud too compared to the Black Diamonds.

My very first impression was that the 8 ply Reapers felt "harder" than the BDs. I run 2 1/2 psi in the BDs and I have 3 psi in the Reapers but the Reapers when I hit large rocks or run over a curb feel like they don't have enough air in them so I think I'll be adding a little more air.

I do believe that this is due to the difference in the type of sidewall construction rather than having more plys.

The Reapers also lack lateral control that causes them to slide sideways while traversing steep side hills and while corning at higher speeds.

I know this sounds dumb but I think they are too wide for their size.

 

I guess it might be time to change the plugs.

 

or put in a heater

 

It started right up this morning so I would have to say the battery passed and the tester failed.

 

Grim Reapers/2012 Polaris 550 Touring EPS - YouTube

Just out playing around today with my new tripod.
Sorry I didn't edit the video.
You can see me going down a pretty steep hill on the right side of the screen at around 35 seconds.

These Grim Reapers do make good snow tires.

 

Cool vid. Those tires sure ripped up the ground underneath after you passed by. I'd say they were gripping for sure!

 

reverse rev limiter 2012 550 Touring EPS - YouTube

The reverse rpm rev limiter with an over ride button is the second dumbest thing I have ever seen on an ATV.

Yes, I understand you can install an over ride for the over ride but the rev limiter shouldn't be there in the first place.

The one that it takes a back seat to is the 4-wd reverse over ride button so the 4-wd would work in reverse. WHY when you are in 4-wd and need to back up would you not want your ATV to be in 4-wd?? What were they thinking??

I have yet to see a reason "for me" to even turn off the 4-wd or ADC.
