That is my biggest complaint about a pred, they are very heavy compared to other quads. If you putt that motor in a lighter quad Im sure it would be a lot faster.

What do you mean what am I smoking?? You didn't think we stupid pred riders could drop any weight?? lol.......yep that is what we got a few of them weighting in at......and then you put something like a 558cc or 627cc kit in it.......and she is going to be hard to beat(or very competitive).......Anyways........that is all.

Of course at 315lbs, the pred can still be ridden(this is 315lbs with shocks still).......but can't be mx'ed or xc'ed or anything like that....mainly for dragging and duning.

lol Hozed......that is what I thought........this pred isn't as slow as everyone thinks.......it just takes time and money to race it.


I'll admit, yes it takes time and money to make it more competitive(which the yfz is quicker stock....with less money and time invested)......but what is the fun in not being able to work on your quad all night??
