Default LOSE THE WEIGHT OR NOT...?

What can I do to lose more weight on my rappy... Of course the aftermarket stuff can be taken off like my Heelguards and Nerf Bars, but what else can I take off of it to lose a bit more weight for racing wise!! I just don't want to be so heavy!!

Yep, if you drop some weight, that will help more then taking parts off your quad. But you can drop the skid plates, and that loses some weight. You can pull the front and rear grab bar's off.

But the cheapest thing to lose, is weight off you. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

$H!T son....... 5'11 and 160 pounds. I am 6'2 and 160. and i eat everything in sight and i cant put on and weight for football, but when wrestling comes around and i have to loose wieght i put on weight weird hu. But if your planning on racing, i would Highly suggest running at least a mile every day, not one will this help you loose weight you will also gain indurance wich is a better than having a fast quad. A fast quad with a out of shape rider is only good for a few laps.
