I am 6' 4" @ 290LBS. Let me jump on your ash and see if your pressure goes up. What a retarded question dyno boy.

Zombie- Load up that bad rap iNc and see who you fare against Raptorrcr, Crafty (686 like mine) and a few more craycraft that will be there. You talk how great the robertson is now is the chance to show the internet. My 2003 686 is apart right now and it would look bad for the "stock bore" to do you in. lol

I could send it with crafty if it makes you feel better

You don't loose any HP. Its simple. The more weight you have the more work the bike has to do. If you increase the weight of the bike without increasing HP you are effectively slowing down the bike. Say you have a 200lb rider. His stock bike gets him down the track in 10 seconds (for example only) Now you take a 100lb rider and his bike gets down the track in 9 seconds. Both have same HP on quads. Understand. So for every 10lbs give or take is like adding an extra hp to your bike. You aren't really adding anything or taking away anything, you are just making the engine work harder or easier depending on the weight.

Well I ran through most of the posts and got it pretty much figured that nobody has gotten it right yet, so here it is: The fat people have to run more of everything, air,HP,fuel,resistance,and who knows what else. So maybe to make it simple math just park the quad and "YOU" run a little !!!!!!! Burn some of the resistance off and thus you will gain more HP cheep.
