Reviews on the XTR say it cleans out extremely well, everything I've read says it's exactly what you want. 14" if you ride trails more than mudbog, 12" if you mudbog more than trails.
That's what I have been looking at for amost a year and then MB came in and through a wrench in my thought process [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

Yeah, but you never worry about top speed anyway. Heck, if you're worried about speed, ride a sporty, right?
When we rode at China Hat this year I did some speed testing at 5000 feet, to compare to my sea level performance. I lost 9 miles and hour at 5000 feet. I used the same GPS and the quad's speedo showed the same lose. That's a bunch of power gone and if I had 1" taller tires it would have been about 20 percent worse. For the slow trail work I can always use low range and the gear ratio will cover up the torque lose but also cuts top speed by 60 percent, which on the trails is no big deal but then I have to shift out of low range when we hit the roads again. If I had a sportie I would get myself hurt and I just don't heal like I used to.

did you re-jet at 5000' ?
No, I did not rejet and yes the engine was a bit rich. However the wife and I have gone as high as 7000 feet down there and the motors still started and ran. Yes, I also know that a rejet would have improved the numbers. But the average guy doesn't rejet when he does this kind of stuff for a once or twice a year ride. I plan on getting a couple of Dial-a-Jet kits for the quads this spring and will retest the quads then to see what changes happen.

I think I am going to stick with the XTR's myself I haven't found anything better for me yet.
