Puget Sound/Seattle/Northwest Area Riders Meet HERE!!!

The suspension was interesting. Didn't really notice a difference until I landed one wheel kind of sideways coming off the whoops, then I noticed the benefit of the IRS. I haven't dialed in the shocks yet. The owners manual has a sag measurement for the front and back, but I think it needs to be adjusted further. The rear shocks don't have enough rebound dampening for haulin' ars through the whoops, even when it's dampened all the way.
Coming out of a corner and giving it throttle, the front tires come up and hit the whoops a little sideways doesn't throw you sideways or rock you side-to-side (there is some, but it's not abrupt), you can keep a straight line and it's stable.
Going up a dune too slow buried the tires, but with the IRS it can bury real deep. Generally I bury it to the axle to stick it in the hill, but it just kept diggin' 'till the nerf's were on the ground.
In general, I would buy one over a Predator, haven't got an opinion on the IRS yet. I'll have to ride it in different terrain to get more of an opinion. Definately have to look into the rebound on those rear shocks, it's not unaccptable, but it's not satisfactory. I'll have to learn me about shocks.

I've heard Laz at Gt Thunder is really good with shocks and even heard he now will rework the 525's

Originally posted by: MeIsCheech I propose we try to get a trip to either Horsefalls or Spinreel right around the last 2 weekends of Sept. that way those of us with kids can get them settled in at school and then wham pull them out for a day or two[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] plus the weather should still be good, not like our Oct. trip. Any other ideas?
Do U want to wait till after Memorial Weekend and Easton to make some for sure plans.

Good Evening PSAR. Easton was incredible. Had a great time. Flat tire on the Scrammy, my buddy was riding it. Peyton did great, rode all the to the top and got to play in the snow.
Last ride today, Jenna got flipped over the bars on logging road doing about 50 mph or so. She is relly sore and moving very slowly, road rash all done her side, but appears to be ok.
A tree was hit, just not by MQC.
And finally, for all going Memorial Day Weekend, I will let you know, the road up to Full throttle has been CLOSED. No more full throttle, bills hill and lookout. We went around the barracade and they tore up the road way up, not passable.
Talk to you all later.

It's Verity. She tells me that Jenna had crashed and wouldn't get up. That was the fastest trip through the woods I had ever made. I got there and she was standing. Thank god she always wears all har safty gear.

Remember why Bear4570 was banned, if you don't let me remind you. Calling someone an "IDIOT or MORON" Rod I could go further with this if you would like. I personally think enough water has passed under the bridge and think your point has been display enough (mine too) SORRY for posting a video that showed someone not wearing a helmet. It offends you and in return you display your offences in words that hurt others feelings.........
